News, apps and folders

Apps are now organized in folders. This way you can install more apps without it becoming a clutter. With this update a some of the smaller specialized apps have been added to the default installation.

• Finally added the bank tab pricechecker app to the default config.
• Added an app for ceremonial sword smithing
• Added an app for Nemi Forest hunting (credit to /r/NemiForest)
• Added an app that shows current portables locations and worlds (credit to portables fc)
• Added a solver for the Runedoku puzzle. (great rune source for ironman)
• Added a tool for dialog and lore book transcription.

Ping and world display on toolbar

Alt1 can now display your ping and world on the toolbar next to the already existing fps display. This way you no longer need to open the in-game developer console to find your ping, the world display should also be very convenient. Right click the toolbar to toggle these.

Updated the built-in browser (Netflix!)

The built-in browser was getting fairly old and has been updated to chromium 69 (open-source version of chrome). This update also brings support for new video codecs. This means that Netflix and other video websites should run again inside Alt1!

Other Features

• Rewrote the news/messages system. This is used to display notifications about updates that don't require a global Alt1 update.
• The new message system also supports minor configuration changes without having to update Alt1. For example, new apps can be added now without need for a full update.
• Apps with the gamestate permission can now see your current ping, world, fps and when you last hopped worlds (for farming timers).
• Added support for high bandwidth asynchronous capture. This fixes afkwarden toilet mode. (You can now view Runescape and get afk notifications on your phone)
• Improved capture mode autodetection. It will no longer select DirectX when it's broken and it will no longer switch away from a working capture method.
• Probably a lot more. This update has been brewing for over a year.

Patches

• Apps will once again be hidden behind right click menu's in-game.
• Fixed a crash when pressing alt+2 while already selecting a screenshot area.
• Fixed some characters not getting red correctly by image recognition.
• Fixed some crashes when trying to use apps that are still loading.

Other

• The app specific settings window now scales correctly when resized.
• Error messages should now always be English, even if your computer is set to a different language. Some known crashes will now also display more information in the crash window.
• Improved navigation through Alt1 menus using the keyboard.
• Improved screen capture performance and apps no longer stutter when waiting for capture.
• The target window dropdown now also lists the process name next to the title of the window.
• App activator phrases are now split between app configured and custom. App configured activators can now only be disabled instead of removed.
• Fixed a crash on startup in 32bit windows. Hopefully didn't break it in 64bit for people with some corrupted .NET installations.

Development

In the last months I've been working on an overhaul on how apps themselves are written. This involves rewriting lots of code and should make developing Alt1 apps more accessible for third party developers. I'm in the process of releasing several npm packages. Join the RuneApps discord to get involved.
