Hey everyone. Reading up about the people on here altering the client to run it in "Stellar Dawn" mode made me think about how the server works. If you can run the Runescape client in Stellar Dawn mode, then is it possible that along with that conversion, the player is also running the Stellar Dawn cache? My idea is what would happen if someone tried extracting the cache from the client? Would we find the models and all other sorts of valuable info? I think it's worth looking in to.

Your using the RuneScape cache anyways. Also, that would be something Jagex really wouldn't like.

Well yea. I'm not one to support reverse engineering, but I figured while others are doing it with the client I may as well toss the idea out there.

That isn't reverse engineering. That is where your wrong.

How is taking apart the coding of a client to uncover information hidden within the programming not reverse engineering?

Edit: Specifically when it involves rebuilding the client with modifications in an attempt to utilize that hidden information.

runesacape.jar was not modified in any way. Variables that runescape.jar needs to run were altered. Although I don't think that that the methods used were exactly correct it is not modifying that actually code. The correct term would be manipulating it with changing variables but never the less it is not changing any code in the client.

I don't endorse this but it is going on regardless. I can't control other people.

Well, I'm sure that if people found possible Stellar Dawn models or codes, they will post it here, and it will piss Jagex off. But if Jagex found a way to get it in your cache without you being able to see it (so you can run the game faster once it's out) that would be pretty cool.
