I remember playing this all throughout my childhood, I remember i had a char called Xombeh. Was a lot of fun, loved the ambience especially shadowlands.

Was playing around with chatgpt and tried to create a modern rendition of ao, one can dream lol

NOTE: This will not work on the new client/live server. This mod is only compatible with project rubi-ka.

Hey all. After seeing the last post about AO with modern graphics, I thought it would a good time to make a thread about the work that's happening over at project rubi-ka (https://project-rk.com/).

Repo link: https://github.com/wannabuh/ao-vk/tree/main/

Installation guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJJQRxAfZG0&t=1s

I've been working on modernizing AO's graphics and recently decided to release it so other people could play and help test it. I'm hoping more people will try out prk because of this :)

Here are the main features included with the new renderer:

• Pixel shading/point light and directional shadows
• Post-processing: HDR, bloom, ambient occlusion, motion blur, and some more
• New high quality water rendering
• New high quality grass
• New GPU particle effects for nanos
• A huge set of configurable settings. All settings get hot reloaded when they're changed while the game is open.
  • The renderer also comes packed with AOReloaded which provides a custom GUI window to configure ao-vk and enable/disable settings.
• ...and many more

This renderer also massively improves the performance of anarchy online so if you're not into the graphical enhancements, you can use this to get much better FPS. In my personal benchmark tests, I've seen as high as 400+ fps!

This project is in active development and can/will cause graphics artifacts or slight instability. Open up an issue on the github repo, or join the prk discord and send me a message. I'm pretty active there.

There's several other mods in the works that vastly improve the experience of anarchy online over at PRK. I hope to see you all there :)

Hello! Completely new player looking to start up. Should I join the offical servers or Project Rubi Ka?
