v1 -> v2
-
Reworked Metadata Layout
-
Performed a massive rework of the backing metadata. Previously the metadata was constructed
directly from the icons and icon file names from the wiki using a thrown-together system of
heuristics. Metadata is now constructed from the item data directly from the OSRS wiki via the MediaWiki api.
-
This makes not only updating the item metadata for the guesser much easier, but also enables potential
features going forward, one such being released with this release! (see: Alternatives)
-
Additionally this also makes the item-filtering much easier. There should be much less instances of
unobtainable, unused, beta, and interface items in the item set. (Hopefully none, but I doubt it!)
-
Finally, this has some impact on how items are randomized for each new game, though the effects
will likely not be noticeable to the average user.
-
Have Guesses Reflect the In-Game Inventory Item Name
- As a side effect of the metadata rework, the name to guess is now the exact text you get when hovering the item in the in-game inventory.
- Previously some variants of items would have appended text usually in (), which is nice for differentiation, but technically inaccurate.
- Note that this does not apply to item names with legitimate (), such as Dragon Scimitar (or) or Opal Bolts (e).
-
Some items share the same in-game name such as an Adamant Kiteshield and the decorative Adamant Kiteshield (guthix variant).
There currently is no way to differentiate these textually. Their icons are, of course, different.
-
Added Items Added in Recent Updates
- This is more a less a side effect of the metadata rework.
- Included now should be all items in the game as of 2026-03-24.
- To name a few this now includes: Yama, Varlamore Part 2, Doom, Sailing, Cow Boss, and so much more I don't care to name!
- The number of items went from 9397 to 9526! Though the metadata rework skews these figures significantly.
-
Added Alternatives
-
This is a system that allows guesses to match any item name that matches a particular icon.
-
For example,
Dragon Dagger (p) and Dragon Dagger (p+) are 2 distinct items though they share the same icon.
With alternatives enabled, guessing either will result in a match.
-
This helps some particular item sets
that all look the same (looking at you bagged plants!).
-
Additionally, an item's alternatives can be viewed once the item has been guessed (or you give up), using
a small '?' button on the answer key.
- Each of these is also a wiki link! Yay!
-
This system isn't perfect as
there are some items that will list some alternatives that are just the same thing, and solving that issue
wasn't worth not releasing the feature.
-
Note that this is an option that can be toggled in the game settings. With it off, the system should
behave as it did previously.
-
Added Game Code
- Games can now be effectively shared or saved with game codes!
- Each 'New Game' will generate a game code below the game board.
- This code can be copied and pasted into the Game Code field before starting a new Game.
- There is additionally a toggle to use either the game settings from the code, or your own custom settings.
-
Added Developer Games
- Added some predefined games (both settings and item sets), each with its own theme.
- The list of games and an associated start button has been added next to the game settings.
- Hopefully more will be added in the future.
-
Highlight Icon and Answer Key when Hovered
- Items will now highlight in yellow when hovered with the mouse.
- If that item has been answered, its associated entry in the answer key will highlight in yellow as well.
- This helps finding item/answer pairs quickly!
-
Other Changes
-
Slightly Adjusted Guess Matching
- Adjusted guess matching with results that not even I can comprehend.
- (Long term I think the way guesses are matched should be reworked, but TBD.)
-
Changed Font to Sans-Serif
- Serif fonts are a bit hard to read for me, so the font has been changed to sans-serif.
