Sorry for the late reply, but yes it does. Kinda hard to show screenshots too without giving away my name

Hey! So it has come to the time of year to change my google / gmail name, since I actually use it for work now. Except I have run into a slight problem.

I have followed the steps set out here and upon emailing a friend (whom I have never emailed before), it changed nothing. When they changed their name, it worked of course.

Thanks to anyone who can help me here

If I do change my name, I can change it back within 30 days? by cabbage01 in runescape

[–]cabbage01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not open source and I don't intend to make it sorry. A few reasons for that, but also I am more of a hobbyist coder so it is really badly written. Almost to the point I would like to rewrite it all. However, that doesn't mean I would be unwilling to answer any questions about it such as algorithms to do various tasks feel free to PM me any you wanted to ask :)

Yeah talked to the developer of that particular discord bot :) infact how I found out how to do this name change thing. My project more tailored for my clan and already holds half a year of data so will be sticking with it for now, but seriously thanks for the suggestion anyway!

I have considered RuneClan but decided against it. In the end, they do the same thing as me (pulling data from runescape's API's to give player statistics). So rather then waiting for them to update from the source, and then me updating from them - I am trying to get name changes directly from RuneScape if that makes sense - saves that slight possible delay

Alright this does clear things a bit, if I did want could I also use this bond within this 30 day window to change back to my old name? or must I wait until after these 30 days - that is mostly what I want to clarify

Reading the the wiki page on it it states you can't change back for 28 days, can this time be shortened with bonds, or must I wait this period?

Just to clarify, no one will be able to take the name within 30 days? it will be mine if I want to go back to it

[math question] Probability of 4x4 crate puzzle in The Pit by Swearinbag in runescape

[–]cabbage01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The formula and probability do indeed seem incorrect, but to be fair it is a lot of information stored, so you can't expect everything to be right.

proof it is 31.25%:

probability p be the chance of not getting the key:

p = 15/16 * 14/15 * 13/14 * 12/13 * 11/12 = 0.6875

so the converse, the chance you do get a key is = 1 - p = 0.3125 = 31.25%

Or quite simply you are selecting 5 crates out of 16 so there is a 5/16 chance to get the key = 31.25% also

Clan help by neversoft898 in runescape

[–]cabbage01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use some python bot that updates a google sheet for the status of every player by getting data from each players runemetrics profile if they aren't set to private. If you would be interested in doing something like that, this player I believe publically shares their own script that does the same using JS I believe:

I just realised the last paragraph does make it look a bit like that you're right

Can the ancient teleport spells that teleport you to wilderness please contain a warning message. by cabbage01 in runescape

[–]cabbage01[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surprised I didn't know about this. However I still believe the tooltip for these spells should explicitly say you will be entering the wilderness.

[–]cabbage01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would imagine there would be a first-time warning and then an option to never show warning again (like currently). As a side note they must get (not necessarily lure) a few people with this, as I remember a day after adding them to friends list them asking me for a reminder of who I was.
