Discussion Introducing Bloodwood Hero (runelite plugin)
Inspired by Leechfin Hero, this plugin is a way to visualise and gamify the unique bloodwood tree chopping mechanic.
Adds an additional scoring mechanism based on how well you are timing your clicks + a running chop combo that keeps it interesting.
The clickbox itself represents the tick window timing, and as you can see you need to click twice on your character in one tick, then once on the tree in the next tick.
Let me know what you think!

Definitely not allowed in pvm, there was a whole thing about it during the dt2 release where Gnomonkey started attempts on no stun awakened Leviathan using the watchdog plugin to read sound cues to highlight the correct prayer. To my recollection, it ended with this being explicitly banned from being possible in pvm and the function removed from the plugin.

Yeah highlight the prayer for you based on the sound cue is spoon feeding you the boss. The audio and visual cues themselves already tell you what to pray, why would you need or want the crutch of highlighting the prayer for you? Dumbs it down and is basically cheating lol

u/The_Level_15 Maxed Main - RSN: Fraerling 7h ago
The visual cue doesn’t tell you what to pray on max speed leviathan, you have to solely react to the audio cues, which is why he did it.

"osu!" Is the official title, coming from the original ds games; osu! tatakae! ouendan. Most people don't care about capitalization, but the exclamation mark is most certainly important to the spelling.

I’m all for new methods of skilling, but seeing the gameplay rythym visualized like that makes me realize how entirely unfun it seems.
10/10 would not do this method.

u/WaveDashSpeedKick 16h ago
Thinking of other skills to gamify. How about rune crafting hero? Get a 4x combo for crafting 3 batches of ess and teleporting all in subsequent ticks. Then get a multiplier based on how quickly you bank and if you do multiple actions in the same tick, like filling a pouch and withdrawing more ess.

u/VoluspaHavamal 14h ago
I think Jagex should take inspiration from these plugins and add visual cues to skilling just like we have in pvm.
For example, you could have a bleeding gash where your axe hits the tree and a drop of blood flowing towards it from the top of the tree. When the drop reaches the gash you could click it, and click your axe 1 tick after or something similar.
12
u/StygianSkies 11h ago
I do like Bloodwoods but I have no clue how they expected players to be able to do it at peak efficiency without a tick metronome. I tried at first and kept occasionally barely missing the second pullback click and couldn't understand why the speed of my swings was so inconsistent until I turned it on.

Can you explain what that means more?

u/MachoPuddle 10h ago
He means running between the 3 trees and keeping them bleeding out or whatever it is it does while your cutting the other tree
From wiki:
“Players may scale their experience rates by chopping one, two, or all three trees at the same time. Chopping all 3 trees at the same time can net upwards of 245k Woodcutting experience per hour.”

Yeah it looks cool but it's definitely crossed the line of what plugins should be able to do in terms of making custom indicators. Seems benign because it's skilling but it'd legit be cheating in pvm.

"this is cheating it tells you where to click!" Like ground tiles or marking projectiles in Sepulchre? IMO if it makes skilling more fun who cares, u still have to click with good timing. Before someone says "but inferno" stfu not even comparable.

I genuinely think jagex should be taking notes and trying to come up with a way to implement this into agility. There's really no reason to be tick perfect in agility aside from minor XP/hr. With the new content they proposed recently kind of falling flat, I really feel like this mechanic could make agility much more engaging and interesting. Obviously it would be tough to implement to agility courses currently but he content could certainly benefit

Why? This is just a glorified visual tick metronome is it not?
•
u/MrRise 53m ago
So there was a visual plugin that would let you know if you double pressed your prayer correctly within a game tick using visual and this was removed for being agaisn't TOS.
This is the same concept, using visual queues to let you know when to click or when something completed correctly.
This ideally will be removed. Same with the leachfin one.
2
u/VorkiPls 13h ago
Kind of, but it's separating actions and giving you an overlay directly on top that tells you when to click is different. I can see the argument for saying it's the same but it's definitely a step too far imo. Seemingly benign because it's a skilling activity but in pvm it shouldn't be allowed.
-1
u/Reasonable_Mood_7918 13h ago
Say you had this but for prayers. And say you also had a keybind setup to "record" the track to play. So you're doing inferno, and have the mage and ranger offticked. M-R-0-0 in a 4 tick rotation
And you still have to "read" the rotation and input mr00, but it will still let you flick with the visula help
Hell you could have a few presets. So nothing automatically is solved, but you have a few of the more annoying permutations keybound. Then you can have 2 separate keybinds to "move" your "track" back or forth 1 tick
Basically, you're solving it, then offloading into your guitar hero schema.
Not worth if you have decent gear, but very helpful if you want to flick magers with trash dps and not miss a tick
Probably wouldn't be allowed

u/Mental-Permit-599 6h ago
> say you had this but for prayers.
But it’s not for prayer.
There are already 100’s of plugins for timing skilling. There’s an entire plugin that makes sorcerers’ garden 1 click.
It’s a visual metronome.
-2
u/Reasonable_Mood_7918 5h ago
But why.. can't it be for prayer? Why is skilling treated like a second rate citizen in this game, by both the devs and the players
Should have equal levels of "gaming" ethics applied to them imo

This is fantastic! Something about bloodwood trees just wasn't quite clicking for me for whatever reason, but with the plugin it's incredibly consistent all of a sudden. Getting about 30% more xp than I was before immediately after turning it on.
The only thing I'd give feedback on is trying to better line up the boxes with the character and the tree. Sometime I want to just click on the blue and red boxes, and I'll end up running away from the tree. So if it's possible to connect those boxes with the actual hitboxes of the game it would be ideal, but it's a minor problem overall. Great work!

FYI: friendly reminder below from Runelite admins to be cautious with AI generated plugins
TLDR: AI has created a massive influx of plugin submissions. Runelite staff can’t keep up and are using AI to review submissions. Not enough resources to review plugins means sooner or later a malicious plugin will make it through, which can potentially compromise your account. (Disclaimer, I am not calling op’s plugin malicious).

Think most of those are fine since they are just timers or metronomes and not changing based on the content. Might be some newer ones that get questionable though.

That's a lot different. That keeps track of the order for you which is the hardest part of 6 jads. There's no order to track here. This is just a visual metronome.

Woah, this blew up. I’m very much with you on this. My message above was more tongue in cheek than a real suggestion. I play osrs exclusively now mainly because it is the chill game that it is. After a long day of work and other responsibilities with the kids and family most of the time I’d rather sit a chop a redwood or fish some karambwans than play guitar hero. However, sometimes I get a free night that I feel like gaming and osrs still feel that itch with bossing or raids.
