Discontinuation of the Legacy Java Client and future of Tribot


Recommended Posts

OSRS just posted on their youtube channel a few updates one of which mentioned that the Legacy Java Client will be discontinued in the near future as it's mainly used for malicious purposes.

Since Tribot is running on the legacy client and is imitating it from the jagex servers' perspective - I was wondering what this means for tribot and it's future.

 

Maybe some of the devs could comment on this?

Tribot does not use the Legacy Java Client, but we make sure we "look" like it. We'll switch over to doing the same for Runelite.

> Tribot does not use the Legacy Java Client

@NullableCould you help me understand what Jagex means by making it harder for cheaters that use the legacy java client for botting/nefarious stuff? Does this mean that other clients hook directly into the Java Legacy Client for botting that these would automatically get removed due to the client not functioning?

It also sounded as if anyone masking themselves as the legacy client would get flagged immediately, which would also include tribot users in this case? Sorry if my questions don't make sense. Maybe ELI5 how much downtime would tribot require and why or whether you see any additional risks after this change?

To be honest, the change to Runelite cloak should of been done a long time ago. 

There shouldn't be any different risks than what there is now which in general, you're botting in a game that doesn't allow it, assuming Nullable implements the cloak correctly which I'm sure he will.
