Powerbot

16th January: we have developed a fully working update that has flawlessly run several different test scripts for over 48 hours. Due to certain technical and legal complications we cannot release it to the public just yet. However please check back because we will go live very soon!


Current status (technical stuff)

Hooks - complete
Updater - final bug fixes
API - in development
Cloud distribution - in development


Why has the deadline changed?

Jagex have released several incremental updates to the client in attempt to make it harder for bots to operate. We cannot disclose too much technical information but we can confirm that a recent major change has set our progress back. We anticipate that there is only a limited number of tactics planned for further updates before we will have dissected and analysed every change for the purposes of reverse engineering.

We are very close to releasing a full update but cannot specify when exactly this will happen.


Will RSBot be detectable?

No. Certain other parties are keen to spread misinformation but please disregard any details on bot updates unless it comes directly from a trusted provider of bot software.


Will RSBot script APIs change?

Yes, however we will provide full documentation and additional support to assist script writers in upgrading their code for compatibility with the latest RSBot release.


Is RSBot going to close down?

No, we are committed to providing open source software on powerbot.org and maintaining RSBot development for the foreseeable future. We understand why some people are afraid of this possibility, but unlike our past competitors we are not here to troll our visitors with fake deadlines and nasty surprises. We believe in transparency and engaging with our audience to announce our true progress, however we cannot disclose sensitive information before we are ready to release our working bot.


Is it true another bot was working?

To date no other bot has been updated to be fully functional with scripts. Rest assured that without evidence, any such claims are disputed and subject to much speculation.


A final word on legal proceedings

We are following the legal case between Impulse Software vs Jagex Ltd very closely and remain confident in a successful outcome
