RuneLite (third-party Jagex approved client)

HDOS (third-party Jagex approved client)

founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
 

HDOS has released their RuneLite plugin system into open beta. If you don’t know this client is a recreation of the 2009/2010 era client that contains the original HD update released in 2008.

The developers have also “remastered” several OSRS exclusive regions to be correctly textured and have that classic HD look.

Sadly if you’ve converted over to a Jagex account you cannot use this client yet. While it’s an approved third-party client it has not as of yet been added to the Jagex launcher.

Not being able to use it with a Jagex account is a bummer.

Yeah, despite being Linux I converted my account and got it setup. My only regret has been HDOS unavailability.

Nice, next stop is allowing it on the jagex launcher

I'm here waiting not so patiently. It wouldn't be so bad if the performance of HDOS wasn't so great compared to RLHD.

Stoked to hear that runelite plugins are in open beta. I prefer HDOS vs the 117 hd plugin. Would be nice for Jamflex to add support to the launcher.

This is huge, my biggest issue with HDOS was not having all the plugins that make high-end raiding more enjoyable

Shame I can't try it atm then. Just recently migrated a couple days ago to a jagex account to make the security stronger

To clarify: it is an HDOS client with a RuneLite-style plugin system? Or the other way around?

[–] Vani 3 points 2 years ago

It is a HDOS client which utilizes the same plugin system as Runelite, ie. They will share plugins

[–] xts 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, it’s a separate client that has RuneLite plugins as a separate system. They’re all working though, I was able to run through the recruitment drive series using quest helper in 2008 HD so it works as expected!

Sounds amazing, can't wait to try it

Is there anyway to get the timers for herb/tree/birdhouse runs? I went through all the plugins and didn't notice this feature
