One of four display modes may be chosen.

  • Visible levels: Current -or- All (For HD: Always "All")
  • Remove roofs: Always -or- Selectively
  • Ground decoration: On -or- Off
  • Texture detail: Low -or- High
  • Idle animations: Few -or- Many
  • Flickering effects: On -or- Off
  • Ground textures: Few -or- Many (For HD: Always "Many")
  • Character shadows: On -or- Off

  • Fog (HD only): On -or- Off
  • Anti-aliasing (HD only): None, 2x, -or- 4x
  • Resizable window (HD only): Off -or- On

There is also a slider control to adjust between four brightness levels within the game screen from darkest, on the left, to lightest, on the right. The control appears at the top of the graphics options while not logged into the game and at the bottom when logged in.

[edit] Audio options

Audio Options.

The Audio volume within RuneScape can be controlled using sliders, with 5 stages from the lowest (volume off), to the highest (maximum volume).

The Audio options are as follows:-

  • Music Volume: This changes how loud the music that plays in the music player will be.
  • Sound Effects Volume: This changes how loud sound effects (the splash of fishing, the clang of combat, etc.) will be.
  • Area Sounds Volume: This is for things like the sound of wind rustling through trees, rushing rivers, and other such things.

At the bottom, there is an toggle option between: Mono or Stereo. This determines the type of output for the audio.


[edit] Buttons

Mouse Buttons: Toggles between one-button or two-button configuration. If the mouse has one button only, especially in the case of Apple computer mice. If one-button configuration is chosen, clicking will bring up a list of options just like when a two-button mouse is right-clicked.
Chat Effects: Enables chat effects that players can add to their chat text. If chat effects is set to OFF, it will be the normal yellow colour, otherwise chat effects will display as intended by the players.
Split Private Chat: Toggles the position of the private chat. If the Private chat is set to ON, it will be displayed in blue in the lower-left corner of the game screen. If it is set to OFF, it will be displayed in the main chat area in red text.
Accept Aid: Toggles the Accept aid option. "Accepting aid" means that players can be affected by special Magic spells that affects another player, such as the Teleother spells, Cure Other spells, and Tele Group spells. Players with "Accept Aid" set to OFF cannot be recruited for the Barbarian Assault minigame.
Run Energy: Toggles between running and walking. When players walk, run energy decreases slower compared to running. Whenever a player stops moving, run energy regenerates back to 100%. The button also displays how much run energy a player has left.
House Options: Opens up another interface to control a player-owned house where players can turn on and off Building mode, expel guests, leave their house, and see how many rooms their house currently has.

[edit] House options

The "House Options" screen allows the player to enter or leave Building mode, expel their guests, or to leave the house without the need for a portal. Only the "Leave House" option can be used from this screen when a player is not in their own player-owned house.

The "Expel Guests" button played a part in the World 111 Glitch.

If a player is not in their house and selects 'Expel Guests', they get the message "You're not in a house. You can't expel people from the world, even if you don't like them!".
The message you receive if you're not in your POH and select 'Expel Guests'.
