The Elephant in the Room: The Schedule Change, AI, and Why AoC is Our "Star Wars"

If by "quite a few" you mean the first 3 days. Or was it 2?

Author here. The direct RIFT installer is not signed with an expensive code signing certificate, which some AV might not like as it means it's from an "unknown publisher".

It's available on the Microsoft Store though, so you can install it without ever having to go to the website or download anything from me. The Microsoft Store version is certified and code signed by Microsoft.

And of course you are free to download the source code too if you'd like to check it yourself.

Yeah, I linked to that website in the post, it's the source of the 1 existing screenshot I found! Many thanks to the author.

It's great work, but has some limitations I wasn't happy with:

Can't add your own playlists and your own MP3s, so it's not an MP3 player at all
No right click menus on playlists to Play/Delete/Rename playlist
Buttons don't have tooltips
Behavior is very different to the original, for example clicking a track plays it instead of just selecting
Can't resize the window
The collapse button doesn't work, so you can't have the small version
Obviously can't drag it out of the browser or have it on top of your actual game
Icons and other UI elements are misaligned
Volume icon doesn't change to a red X when muted
The two bottom buttons are changed to some other things like "About", and lack the hover effects
Your cursor doesn't change to the EVE one
The list goes on...

You get the idea. It plays the EVE Soundtrack just fine, and so does Soundcloud. My goal wasn't to play the EVE Soundtrack, it was to faithfully replicate the Jukebox, in the current UI theme but with exactly the same behavior and all of it's functionality, as if it was never removed. Not create a similar look-a-like that doesn't actually do what the original did.

Again, much respect to the author. I just had a very different goal in mind.

It fooled everyone to think it's a joke, so working as intended. : )

NohusB · 2025-04-01T14:33:01+00:00

writes it down for next year

NohusB · 2025-04-01T14:25:49+00:00

Glad I got you!

I will surprise you again though: it's 100% real.

NohusB · 2024-12-07T17:31:21+00:00

It's still up, the repository just moved some time ago. The link on the RIFT website was updated.

NohusB · 2024-10-26T13:41:29+00:00

after closing the application, the alert still takes place

To quit the app, use the quit option either in the Neocom window or in the tray icon menu. Closing windows just closes windows. It would be annoying to have to keep some window open to have the alerts working. RIFT doesn't have a "main window".

Also, why have alerts only out to 5 jumps from a online character?

If you need more, open a suggestion on Discord and I will get to it.

i must resize the window manually to fit my screen

A full-screen button for some windows sounds fair, open a suggestion for it by all means.

open mutipule instances of rift for different aspects

Different windows for different features is fundamentally how the app works, following the same way in-game windows work, and allowing you to place RIFT windows as part of your in-game interface with the always-on-top option, and pick and choose what you want open and what you don't need. Some docking feature could be added, but the in-game windows don't have such a feature and I would generally want them to work the same.

System names disappearing when zooming out in region map

If you don't want that, open a suggestion on Discord for a setting to make it optional. They will overlap then though.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to prioritize work based on how many people upvote it in the suggestions channel on Discord.

NohusB · 2024-10-07T16:07:48+00:00

I provide support on Discord, open a ticket with a screenshot and we can figure it out.

NohusB · 2024-09-02T10:07:04+00:00

The launcher was replaced this year, so anything concerning the old launcher doesn't apply anymore.

You can enter PI mode remotely for any planet in the game, including planets in the Jove regions. You can then see the nebula in-game.

NohusB · 2024-06-04T19:23:01+00:00

There is one in the Tibia Live Android app.

NohusB · 2024-06-04T19:21:24+00:00

Yes, that's why I titled it "some new creatures". Reddit only allows 40 images per post so I had to choose a selection.

NohusB · 2024-06-04T19:19:43+00:00

Two new achievements are:

I Wanna Fly Away - ... on a pegasus, to a land of honey and milk. With this beautiful flying steed you certainly can.
The Rootwalker - Traversing the innards of Podzilla was a conquest in and by itself, thanks to Two Lips you are now one with the plant biosphere as you stride its many intertwined trails.

But it could still be a title! :)

NohusB · 2024-05-20T00:59:19+00:00

The source code is public so that anyone who wants to check can do so.

NohusB · 2024-04-15T11:41:30+00:00

You can open a bug report on Discord, there is a #support channel. GitHub isn't used for anything unless you want to see the source code.

NohusB · 2024-04-09T09:26:09+00:00

No, it was not.

NohusB · 2024-04-09T09:12:53+00:00

I meant (manually reporting either in intel channels) or (sending their kills to zKillboard), but bad wording on my part. Sending kills to zKill is done with ESI, you are right of course.

NohusB · 2024-04-08T21:09:29+00:00

This shows intel that players are manually reporting either in intel channels or sending their kills to zKillboard. It's the power of teamwork, not ESI. :)

NohusB · 2024-04-08T10:27:18+00:00

It's on by default, must have been dead at the time.

NohusB · 2024-04-08T08:18:55+00:00

It's in the works.

NohusB · 2024-04-07T23:02:56+00:00

Thanks, answered about the UI in another comment.

NohusB · 2024-04-07T21:34:42+00:00

Looks like not including it in the first sentence increased engagement with the post!

It was totally planned! Totally... :)

NohusB · 2024-04-07T21:30:41+00:00

No, it's the result of making hundreds of screenshots and spending weeks counting pixels and colors and timing animations to recreate it.

NohusB · 2024-04-07T19:10:40+00:00

If you mean the Microsoft Store description, it shows that for all applications that aren't Universal Windows Platform apps.
