'''Revival RSC''' adds a long list of new settings for customising how the game looks, sounds and plays – from scaling the whole window up for modern monitors to labelling every item on the ground. It also adds new ways to keep in touch with other players: server-wide announcements, global chat, an online list, [[clans]] and parties. This page explains every option and how to use them.

== Settings ==
Hover over the '''wrench icon''', the leftmost of the icons in the top-right corner, to open the settings panel. Click the heading to switch between the '''Social''' and '''General''' tabs, and use the mouse wheel to scroll. The Android app has a third '''Android''' tab.

Most settings are saved to your account, so they follow you between computers. '''Scaling''' and '''Stack Tooltips''' are saved on the computer you are playing on instead.

=== New settings ===
These settings are new to Revival RSC.

==== Sound rare drop ====
A special sound plays when you receive a rare drop. '''Sound rare drop''' lets you keep that sound while every other sound effect is muted: switch '''Sound effects''' off, and the ''Sound rare drop'' option appears beneath it. It is on by default. With sound effects on, the rare drop sound simply plays along with everything else.

The sound plays for:
* The drops that are announced to the whole server – see [[#Rare drops|rare drops]] below
* Valuable drops: a half of a key, either half of the dragon square shield, a dragonstone, a rune spear, a dragon medium helmet, a [[large dragon helmet]], a [[dragon 2-handed sword]], [[dragon plate mail legs]] or an [[uncut shadowstone]]
* A boss pet item dropping

This option resets to ''on'' each time you start the game.

==== Ground Items ====
Filters which items are drawn on the ground. Each click moves to the next mode.

{| class="wikitable"
! Mode !! What you see
|-
| '''Show ALL''' || Everything. This is the default.
|-
| '''Hide ALL''' || No ground items at all
|-
| '''Only Bones''' || Only bones, big bones, bat bones and dragon bones
|-
| '''No Bones''' || Everything except those four kinds of bones
|-
| '''No Ashes''' || Everything except ashes
|}

Items hidden by this filter are also left out of Stack Tooltips.

==== Scaling ====
Enlarges the whole game window, for high resolution monitors. It is available on the PC client only. Use the '''[ - ]''' and '''[ + ]''' buttons beside ''Scaling'' to change the size.

'''Scaling type''' chooses how the picture is enlarged:
* '''Integer''' – whole steps only (1x, 2x, 3x ...), keeping every pixel perfectly sharp. This is the default.
* '''Bilinear''' and '''Bicubic''' – smoothed scaling in half steps, from 1x up to '''4x'''.

The largest size offered depends on how big your screen is.

==== Stack Tooltips ====
Shows a see-through label over piles of items on the ground, listing everything in the pile as ''amount × item name'' with a small icon – so you can see what is on a tile without right-clicking it. It is off by default.

A label appears over any pile of two or more items, and over single items unless they are bones or ashes. The most valuable items are listed first, and the text is coloured by value:

{| class="wikitable"
! Colour !! Meaning
|-
| style="color:#a335ee;" | '''Purple''' || Rare and unique items
|-
| style="color:#d9534f;" | '''Red''' || Worth 10,000 coins or more
|-
| style="color:#f0ad4e;" | '''Orange''' || Worth 1,000 coins or more
|-
| style="color:#b8a000;" | '''Yellow''' || Worth 100 coins or more
|-
| '''White''' || Everything else
|}

Switching Stack Tooltips on reveals more options beneath it:

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
! Option !! Choices !! What it does
|-
| '''Stackables''' || On / Off || Include stackable items, such as runes, arrows and coins
|-
| '''Non-stackables''' || On / Off || Include items that do not stack
|-
| '''Wield or wear''' || On / Off || Include weapons, armour and jewellery
|-
| '''Food or drink''' || On / Off || Include anything that can be eaten or drunk
|-
| '''Position''' || Bottom / Top || Whether the label sits below or above the pile
|-
| '''Range''' || On your tile, or 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 tiles || How far from you labels are shown. The default is 4 tiles.
|-
| '''Opacity''' || 0% to 100%, in steps of 20% || How dark the box behind the text is. At 0% only the text is drawn. The default is 40%.
|}

An item is left out if ''any'' category it belongs to is switched off – a sword, for example, is hidden by either ''Non-stackables'' or ''Wield or wear''. When some categories are off the setting reads '''Partial'''.

== Global announcements ==
Some achievements are announced to everyone online. These messages cannot be switched off.

=== Rare drops ===
<code>[Loot] Player just received a Large Dragon Helmet drop from: Nyrex the infernal!</code>

A drop is announced when any monster drops one of the following. The player receiving it also hears the rare drop sound.

{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Dropped by
|-
| [[Dragon 2-handed sword]] || King Black Dragon
|-
| [[Large dragon helmet]] || [[Nyrex the infernal]]
|-
| [[Dragon plate mail legs]] and [[uncut shadowstone]] || [[Enraged shadow giant]]
|-
| [[Sealed lifesap codex|Lifesap codex]], [[wand of destruction]] and [[orb of speed]] || [[Valkor]]
|-
| [[Dragon longbow]] || [[Valkor ranger]]
|-
| Dragon medium helmet and the left half of the dragon square shield || Any monster that can drop them
|}

=== Boss pets ===
<code>[Pet] Player received the Cracked rune from Valkor at 1,204 kills!</code>

Announced whenever a player receives a [[Custom items#Boss pet drops|boss pet item]], along with the kill count they got it at.

=== Skill milestones ===
<code>[Achievement] Player has just achieved level 99 in Mining!</code>

<code>[Maxed] Player has maxed with a total level of 2079!</code>

Announced when a player reaches level 99 in any skill, and when they reach the maximum total level.

=== New players ===
<code>[Global] New adventurer Player has arrived in lumbridge!</code>

Announced when a new player leaves Tutorial Island.

=== Not announced ===
Your fastest boss kill times and the ''Valuable drop'' notice are shown only to you. Quest completions, deaths and logins are not announced.

== Global chat ==
Global chat lets you talk to everyone on the server at once. There are two ways to use it.

=== The ::g command ===
Type <code>::g</code> followed by your message:

<code>::g selling 10k rune stones</code>

Everyone sees it as <code>[General] Player: message</code>, with your [[Clans|clan]] tag before your name if you are in one. On the Android app, the on-screen '''Global''' button types <code>::g</code> for you.

<code>::pk</code> works in the same way but sends to the separate '''PKing''' channel, shown as <code>[PKing] Player: message</code>. '''New accounts have the PKing channel hidden by default.'''

=== The Global friend ===
Every player has a friend called '''Global$''' at the top of their friends list, which always shows as online. '''Send it a private message''' and the message goes to everyone instead – simply click ''Global$'' and type as you would to any friend.

* To leave global chat, '''remove Global$ from your friends list''', or type <code>::toggleglobalchat</code>.
* To rejoin, add a friend called '''Global''', or type <code>::toggleglobalchat</code> again.
* <code>::gp</code> shows these messages in your private chat tab, as ''Player tells [everyone]: message''. <code>::gq</code> moves them back to the quest tab.
* <code>::setglobalmessagecolor</code> followed by a colour code, such as <code>@gre@</code>, changes their colour. Use it with no colour to reset.

=== Rules and restrictions ===
* Before your first global message you must read and accept the rules. Type <code>::globalrules</code> to read them and <code>::i_agree</code> to accept.
* There is no level requirement and no delay between messages, but you cannot use global chat while muted or while on Tutorial Island.
* You never see global messages from players on your '''ignore list'''.
* Global chat is moderated, and staff can mute players from global chat alone.
* <code>::gc</code> shows a summary of all of this in game.

== Online list ==
To see who is online, open the settings panel, go to the '''Social''' tab and click '''Display online list''', or type <code>::onlinelist</code>. A window opens listing every player online, with crowns marking staff. Right-click a name to '''add them as a friend''', '''add them to your ignore list''' or '''invite them to a party'''.

* <code>::online</code> just shows how many players are online.
* The list respects your '''Allow private messages''' setting. Set to ''Friends'', only players on your friends list see you in it; set to ''Off'', nobody does. You are still counted in <code>::online</code>.

== Clans and parties ==
Up to 200 players can band together as a '''clan''', with its own name, tag, ranks and a private <code>::c</code> chat channel. A '''party''' is a smaller temporary group of up to 5, with <code>::p</code> chat and optional loot sharing.

See the '''[[Clans]]''' guide for how to create, join and run one.

== Useful commands ==
Type these into the chat box.
