The program should always still be here and available if you want to pick it up again. Hopefully it won't run into compatibility issues in the future. Thanks for the tip about IrfanView being able to apply a transparent background color since I didn't know that. Hopefully it's able to do that without applying rogue pixels to hunt down. That could be one of the unavoidable tasks when dealing with the graphics for the modules. Too bad there's not a quick and easy way to deal with that from...John StoneSat, 28 Feb 2026 03:17:42 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#36bb/9be6https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#36bbI must confess, I haven't forgotten about this but life really picked up shortly after I began this project and I haven't had the time to set aside for it. Not sure when that's going to change. If indefinite time passes, I will simply say that OpenGameArt has very good, free replacement graphics that can be resized with a quality tool. All I was doing in the shots above was downloading the graphics, doing a crop and resize after looking at the original file dimensions, opening the file in IrfanView...Aion ArkheSat, 28 Feb 2026 00:47:16 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#36bbhttps://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#36bbI must confess, I haven't forgotten about this but life really picked up shortly after I began this project and I haven't had the time to set aside for it.

It gives me that feeling of really "now you're playing with power" with a great sense of creativity. I hope the old users'll come back to the forum so we can keep this great software going. I plan on using AI tools to accelerate development as much as I can and like you, use existing pixel art assets where available. It's just IDing the right concept to work with is one of the issues.

No worries, I'm surprised anyone is still around! I always come back to RuneSword now and again so I figured making a "mod" for it and all of its available tomes would be fun.Aion ArkheFri, 15 Aug 2025 22:33:05 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#fa51https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#be11Hi Aion! Sorry, somehow I missed your original post so I'd like to welcome you to the RS2 forums here and hope you have fun with the program! I still have high hopes for it myself!

Current plans are to overhaul the music (done), sound, and graphics. While the engine has strict limits on acceptable graphics (8bit bmp, usually) I've found that they can still be made to look more cohesive using higher quality free graphics and resizing tools. I'd started out simply wanting to use the original RS1 style GUI and updating the main menu with new options to accommodate...Aion ArkheTue, 29 Jul 2025 00:13:49 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/7b344c144e/?limit=25#bce8https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/4560d96eba/?limit=25#e474Hi. I'm just here to make an open request for the person out there that received the only hard drive archive of the crosscut forums ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170705082734/http://www.runesword.com/forums/ ) that if they still have that thing if they could upload it's contents to mediafire, archive.org or what have you since not only does archive.org's wayback machine only have 9,694 urls from that website it's incomplete since there should be at least 13,598 files and upwards of 24,309 files...John StoneFri, 03 Mar 2023 13:49:16 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/4560d96eba/?limit=25#e474https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/d38deb40b3/?limit=25#2049The zip file mentioned on this thread below has some tomes: https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/0e9ecf6a/John StoneSun, 26 Feb 2023 10:25:00 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/d38deb40b3/?limit=25#2049https://sourceforge.net/p/runesword/discussion/460443/thread/d38deb40b3/?limit=25#e9edFrom what I see, most of the links regarding to this game lead nowhere.

Just wanted to pass along the info that an itch.io user is posting (what I'm presuming to be) the program from this sourceforge site and charging money for it here: https://kieferd20.itch.io/runesword-and-magic . I've used itch.io's site report option to get them to remove this url but it's been a number of days and their site is still up.
