RuneScape Game Client Launcher For Linux has developer feedback

[Ubuntu Software Center]

Thank you for providing feedback for RuneScape Game Client Launcher For Linux.

Current status:  Your application RuneScape Game Client Launcher For Linux is Pending review.


You provided the following feedback:

The application is just a game launcher for the MMORPG RuneScape.
The company behind the game do not provide official support for the game, but the linux community in the game provide very good support themselves and Jagex have noted this in their own game Wiki
quote: "Jagex does not currently offer support towards Linux OS. However, there is a very informative thread on our forums dedicated to Linux users, with plenty of useful tips and tricks for running RuneScape with Linux."

This project (RuneScape Unix Client) have a PPA with daily built packages from the stable git branch from github.
https://launchpad.net/~hikariknight/+archive/unix-runescape-client

The client launcher is coded to be very flexible and can be launched from any location on the system (should comply with the /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/<package> if thats where it have to be placed)

First run:
On the first run the client will start xterm and ask which client to download the jagexappletviewer.jar from.
Once selected the client will download one of the official clients and extract the .jar file from it and place it in ~/.config/runescape/bin and launch the game through it.
The jagexappletviewer is a one time download (until Jagex releases a new version of it).

Required Dependencies:
* wget - for fetching and updating the jagexappletviewer.jar
* p7zip - extracting the jagexappletviewer.jar from one of the official clients
* perl - the client is written in perl
* java - to run the jagexappletviewer.jar (both oracle java and openjdk java works)
* libwx-perl - required for the settings interface

Optional dependencies:
* bumblebee and primus - to make opengl work on nvidia optimus computers
* wine - if the user rather want to launch the game through wine (requires that they install the windows version of java inside wine)

Optional dependencies(depends how the system is configured)
* alsa-oss - in order to use alsa instead of pulseaudio (only if using oracle java)
* pulseaudio-utils - in order to use pulseaudio instead of alsa (if system is configured to use alsa instead of pulse)
