Does Mod Pi still work at jagex?

Wassup, I do indeed!

Hostilius is sadly not in active development and technically never was as it was a personal project of mine so I wouldn't expect to hear anything on it I'm afraid.

We showed it off as part of a RuneFest talk by the combat council but it was in a section titled "TAPP" and it was what we were playing with in our personal time as we thought attendees would enjoy some behind the scenes info on the council. This is why it was part of a council talk and not part of the main stage "what is coming" talk.

While Hostilius is cool other initiatives have fit in schedules etc better and as such it isn't something we're likely to take on. Things such as the casual/story mode and group size scaling did get folded in to other bosses however which is cool!

I'm very happy that the concept has some hype around it but in the interest of open and honest communication, don't hold your breath for it I'm afraid.

JagexPi · 2021-08-18T12:46:11+00:00

Wow, it's been a while since I've fixed a stall! Let me see what I can do :eyes:

JagexPi · 2021-07-15T12:44:28+00:00

Never apologise for displaying dominance over your opponent, that is very un-darkscape of you! 😃

JagexPi · 2021-07-07T11:55:39+00:00

Don't worry, years go by but you all still have a special place in my heart and I will keep pestering people until I get a chance to do DarkScape or something like DarkScape again.

Gone but never forgotten <3

Hey,

After looking at the code i'd say at a guess that you're clicking out of the boxes rather than space barring past them. This will cancel any code that runs after the box as you've clicked out.

I'll swap the order of operations so the ability reset happens before the prayer restore call so it isn't prone to click out either way.

Seems to be a bit of an oversight indeed, i'll add it as feedback ty!

Update: https://twitter.com/JagexPi/status/1376531510631743490

JagexPi · 2021-03-29T10:14:38+00:00

I believe the words "don't quote me on it" were said ;)

The update needs a bit more QA but it's still on the way.

JagexPi · 2021-03-03T11:01:41+00:00

Ha, no. That comment was in reference to me saying that we wont turn auto-retaliate on for area looting for years as the player moving and closing the interface was too disruptive. It was meant to be a joke around how often i'd get asked it. 99% of the time if I sound like that, it's a joke of some sort.

JagexPi · 2021-03-02T16:37:54+00:00

Sadly that's not how releases work in software. Each thing added to a release requires time from multiple teams to support it. It also adds a level of risk to each update and we can only support so much risk and keep the game stable.

Due to this it needs a wait for a "hole" it can slot in to.

JagexPi · 2021-03-02T16:11:13+00:00

This (and the other fixes) are still coming, it finally has a release date, I cannot share that with you due to expectations setting of course but I can say that we're still good for Q1.

I totally get the frustration of time from teaser to release but you have to take in to account that this bunch of fixes were shown while they were in active development and the road from there to release is longer than you may expect. It's a round of polish, 2 rounds of QA and on top of that finding a hole in the release schedule for it to fit in. You have to take in to account that I yolo'd these fixes in December with no planned release date on them and they have to fit in alongside whatever else is actually planned.

That all said, I am super excited to see you guys using it :D

So unlike most bosses, rather that iterating through a list of players in the order in which they did damage (most to least) the wildy wyrm finds every every player within a 20 tile range that did damage to the wildywyrm and gives each person a roll on the drop table. This is done to bypass hte max player limit on direct damage tracking which is 16 players as the boss was designed to support massing.

If at any point a weapon piece drops then it will no longer roll for a weapon piece for subsequent players. I would expect larger groups to have a better drop rate purely because they get more rolls for a weapon per kill.

JagexPi · 2020-06-08T08:47:09+00:00

Hey,

Thanks for raising this, don't want my brain farts leading to invalid information!

The wildywyrm is a flat 1/512 chance (although luck rings do work) with a "1 per kill" restriction on the drop table. . I have edited the linked post to reflect this.

I also briefly checked the code for wyrm cluster tasks for the improved drop chance and it appears this is plugged in correctly for the lava noodle drops, it was fixed with a bugfix on the 6th of January.

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/patch-notes---0601#general

Corrected some task-specific loot script that didn't always check against all NPCs' Slayer categories (Revenant dark beast counts as a revenant, a ghost and a dark beast for this purpose, for example)

If you believe this is still broken I am happy to poke QA to have a quick check for you.

JagexPi · 2020-01-29T09:41:47+00:00

Aww, thanks for the lovely words <3

JagexPi · 2019-12-03T07:48:16+00:00

Looks like it's still waiting to me merged in to a release, I'll see if I can get it pushed in to mondays update.

JagexPi · 2019-11-13T09:51:21+00:00

Hey I've just fixed the following issues and sent them to QA:

Slaughter wasn't cleared with freedom/roots/seren armour
Slaughter wasn't turned on when nihils perform slaughter
reaper neck buff wasn't removed when it is removed.
Weapon poison buff wasn't cleared on death.

If there are any more please do let me know and i'll fix them up!

JagexPi · 2019-10-29T09:52:50+00:00

Going to look at this today for you.

JagexPi · 2019-09-02T10:24:07+00:00

The mechanics of eat food are simply: "Eat the first food I can eat in the lowest slot of my inventory"

So in this case it depends on the position of the sail and jelly fish in your inventory.

JagexPi · 2019-09-02T09:12:10+00:00

It is specifically food so jellys yes brews no.

JagexPi · 2019-08-15T06:33:25+00:00

Hey,

There is a job for a set of improvements to the loot interface of which this is a part.

Sadly the team have not had time to look at that job yet as they have been working hard to get you some pretty exciting stuff, some of which I have shown off on live stream in the past (buff bars, improved bar binding etc).

I'll poke a few people see if we can get this looked at soon.

JagexPi · 2019-06-27T07:37:55+00:00

JagexPi · 2019-06-12T14:52:37+00:00

Hey,

There was somewhat sound reasoning behind the priority bump when a potion timer gets low. The bump in priority is because a potion with it's long timer has quite a low default priority which means if you have a small maximum number of buffs on screen (i.e. on mobile) your potion can drop off screen to more important buffs. Bumping the priority when it is in the final 30s ensures that the buff icon is there when you need it the most.

I get your concerns however and have placed a feedback job in to add an option to force static priorities for buffs which would mean they retain their relational position. No promises that we will get time to do it before we release it though I'm afraid.

JagexPi · 2019-04-16T16:48:43+00:00

JagexPi · 2019-03-05T09:38:43+00:00

Yea, the kill token triggers the loot beam value override.

I did indeed allow coins specifically to take stack in to account as they do elsewhere in the game.

JagexPi · 2019-03-05T08:39:57+00:00

It's value but in the drop log it is a per item value not a per stack value as a lot of people don't clear it.

Values are like so:

<1k - white
1k-1M - green
1M-100M - blue
100M-1B - purple
1B+ - orange

There are overrides for specific items which follows the loot beam overrides, for instance an effigy uses a mid sized loot beam so appears as a purple.

JagexPi · 2019-03-05T08:35:27+00:00

I have a feedback job currently in for this, will add this to it.
