Run a clan Boss of the Week competition without the admin.
Someone sets up a challenge, a boss, a week, and what things are worth, and shares a code. Everyone else pastes the code in. From then on the plugin counts kills and drops by itself and keeps a leaderboard everyone can see. No screenshots to send, no spreadsheet to maintain, no password to remember.
- Create a challenge, name it, and pick the start and end times in your own timezone
- Search for the boss. Its uniques and its pet fill themselves in, each with a points box and an X if you do not want it counted
- Add anything else by searching for it
- Say what a kill count is worth "every 10 kills = 1 point", or whatever you like
- Share the code it gives you
Joining is that code and a button.
Mobile has no plugins, so those kills can never be counted. They do not have to sit the competition out: the creator can add someone to the leaderboard by hand and set their points from the screenshots they send in, the way the clan already does it. Those rows are marked Manual / Mobile, so a total that was typed in is never passed off as one that was counted.
The same edit works on everyone else, for docking points or fixing a mistake. A tracked player's own kills keep counting underneath it — the change is kept alongside their score rather than replacing it, so it does not come undone at their next kill.
A countdown to the start, which becomes a countdown to the end. The boss, the full points list, and a leaderboard that keeps itself up to date. Your own points, and what they are made of.
The plugin talks to a small service so that everyone in a challenge can see the same leaderboard. A RuneLite plugin only ever sees its own client, so there is no way to do that locally.
Sent when you join a challenge, and only for challenges you have joined:
- your RuneScape name, so the leaderboard has something to call you
- each kill of that challenge's boss, and any of its drops that the challenge counts
- a screenshot of each scoring drop, if you leave that setting on
Not sent: anything about accounts, anything from challenges you have not joined, anything at all before you join one, and any kill of any other monster.
Screenshots. A scoring drop is photographed and saved to your own screenshots folder, under the challenge's name. A downscaled copy is sent to whoever runs the challenge so they can verify it, this is what the clan would otherwise be asking you to post in Discord. Only the creator can see them; other participants cannot. The full-size original never leaves your machine. Both behaviours have their own setting and can be turned off.
Screenshots are not kept for ever. The shared copies are deleted a month after a challenge ends, and deleting a challenge removes them straight away. Results are kept — an old leaderboard can still be looked up — so it is only the pictures that expire, and the creator can export them as a zip at any point before then.
Points are worked out on the server, not here. The plugin reports that a pet dropped; what a pet is worth is the challenge's business.
The service is a Cloudflare Worker, and its source is in backend/ in this repository. A clan that
would rather run its own can deploy it and change the address in the plugin's settings.
This is trust based, in the same way that screenshots posted to Discord are trust based.
RuneLite works out what a monster dropped by watching for items appearing as it dies, which cannot tell your loot from something you dropped at that moment. That affects the Loot Tracker too.
The screenshots make it visible, a faked drop has no drop message and no collection log entry anmd will be shown in a screenshot.
It is not proof. It is the same evidence a clan already asks for, gathered automatically and organised by challenge and by player.
Boss drop tables come from the OSRS Wiki, used under CC BY-NC-SA
3.0. They are read at build time by scripts/generate-boss-drops.mjs and bundled, so the plugin never
calls the wiki while it is running.
