Quote from RealmEye:
Go to http://www.kongregate.com/games/Wild_Shadow/realm-of-the-mad-god and sign in to your Kongregate account.
You’ll have to get the link Kongregate uses to connect to the game. The address includes the phrase “DO_NOT_SHARE_THIS_LINK” for a reason. Anybody who has this link can log in to your Realm account, so be careful.
- Chrome
Press
F12in Windows to open the developer tools console, or right click on the page and select “Inspect element”. The console should appear at the bottom of the Kongregate game page. Select the tab at the top of the console titled “Sources”. You should see a box on the left (also titled “Sources”) which lists a number of site names. Near the bottom of that list “gameiframe” appears. Click on its arrow to expand it and reveal “realmofthemadgod.com”. Expand “realmofthemadgod.com” and look for a line including the text: kongregate.html?DO_NOT_SHARE_THIS_LINK=1 Right click it and copy the link address.
- Firefox
If using Firefox, press
Ctrl + Shift + K(or right click on the page and select “Inspect element”) to pull up the developer console. Navigate to the tab at the top of the console titled “Debugger”. You should see a box on the left titled “Sources”. Scroll to find “http://www.realmofthemadgod.com “. A line saying “kongregate.html” should be below it. Right click on “kongregate.html” and copy the link address.
Another method for Firefox requires Firebug.
When Firebug is activated, click on the “CSS” tab of the window. Click on “realm-of-the-mad-god” to open that dropdown menu and scoll to the bottom and look for the line: kongregate.html?DO_NOT_SHARE_THIS_LINK=1. Click on that line. Open that dropdown menu again and there should be a check next to “kongregate.html?DO_NOT_SHARE_THIS_LINK=1” Right click now and choose “Copy Location”
- Safari
Enable the Develop menu (under ‘Advanced’ preferences) then launch the game on Kongregate. Put it in Cinematic Mode (not essential, but it makes it much easier to find the information), then right-click on the black frame of the game window and choose ‘Inspect Element’. This brings up the Web Inspector with the frame highlighted. Expand three times until you see the HTML body tag. Expand that and look for and copy the HTML containing the flashvars. The flashvars is the string you need to create the URL. Take it and replace all the HTML ampersands (‘&’ then ‘amp’ then ‘;’) with real ampersands (‘&’) to get the string that goes after the ‘?’ in your personal URL.
You should end up with a link similar to this:

Open the settings -> Others -> Toggle Play with Kongregate and paste your link
This is not a hacked client! The game itself is untouched and the program is only a wrapper around the original client. SimpleR only combines features of hardware or other software in one tool customized for RotMG - to shorten things up and increase your Quality of Life. However, 3rd party software is not endorsed by Deca - so use at your own risk.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Reset to default
|
Default size after starting the game. (Activated via hotkey) |
4:3 maximized
|
The game is resized while the aspect ratio remains the same. You can still click outside the window or on the taskbar. (Activated via hotkey) |
Flash fullcreen
|
This is the built-in flah projector fullscreen function. The 4:3 image will be stretched to your monitors' aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9). The taskbar is not visible. You get used to the slightly stretched image pretty quickly. (Activated by pressing Ctrl + F) |
Actual 4:3 fullscreen
|
This mode is probably the best in terms of performance. The screen resolution of your monitor gets changed to 800x600 and the game will be set in fullscreen mode. There will be black bars on the right and left side of the monitor. (Activated via hotkey) |
"Actual 4:3 fullscreen" not working as expected?
Sometimes it's possible, that even with "4:3 fullscreen" enabled, the game get's stretched across the whole screen.
Possible fixes:
Nivida graphics card: Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust desktop size and position -> Scaling Mode: Aspect ratio
AMD graphics card: See AMD Support site
Your monitor has a built in scaling feature - please read your user manual. This option has to be changed in the on-screen menu of your monitor.
Example for common Acer Monitors: Open the menu -> Navigate to Settings -> Change "Wide mode" to "Aspect"
Please DISABLE the games' own custom cursor option: Settings -> Graphics -> Custom Cursor "OFF"
If you're a careful person like me, you don't download any random file from the internet - good! You probably went on VirusTotal.com and analzyed the SimpleR.exe and Settings.exe.
Result: 3/67 Antivirus programs detected the files as "Unsafe". These are so called "false-positives" and have several reasons.
A little technical background: This software is written using AutoIt. When compiling an .au3 file to .exe, it's not really "compiling" the file. Instead, It takes an AutoIt interpreter exe and appends a stripped version of your code to it. That means the "base" of every AutoIt .exe file is the same. Of course, some script kiddies will also use AutoIt to create their sick hax clients and Antivirus software may detect these parallels. Another reason is the compression. Some Antivirus may say "if you compress your file, you have something to hide". I used Low and Normal compression for the SimpleR files but this still can get detected as compression.
Example: This HelloWorld code with normal compression:
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=1
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AutoIt Version: 3.3.14.2
Author: myName
Script Function:
Template AutoIt script.
#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Script Start - Add your code below here
MsgBox(0,"Ohai","hello")
... will end up with a detection rate of 6/67!
The third reason - I don't wanna impute anyone anything - is VirusTotal itself. Imagine you are an antivirus developer and have to compete against 66 others. If you detect a virus, it will show at the very top on VirusTotal.
People will think "oh wow, only THIS antivirus was able to detect something - it must be the best, I'll buy it!" I can imagine (again, not imputing anything) that some antivirus developers use this mindset to detect everything that's even remotely suspicious.
If you're still not convinced - get AutoIt and SciTE IDE and compile it yourself :)
Just download the new version and replace your old SimpleR.exe and Settings.exe with the new ones.
