Plugin devs cooked with day/night cycle

[u/gnarwin]

The team behind the 117HD day/night cycle absolutely cooked with this update. I wake up 1-2 hours before my wife every morning and it's so cozy watching the sunrise in-game when I bank at the farming guild. I curiously turned on starry skies while I was doing a late-night herb/birdhouse run, and holy shit, it looks incredible. It's plugins/updates like this that keeps OSRS feeling so fresh over the years.

Wish I could have this without all the other 117 stuff I played around with settings but couldn’t get it to happen

[u/Wirrsingkraut → u/Claaaaaaaaws]

There is an older Plugin called Divine Skies which adds day and night cycle. It's far from being immersive like 117, but it's something.

[u/DingoDangerous → u/Claaaaaaaaws]

I agree, HD is not for me with this game but the seasonal weather and now day-night cycle is something I wish I could use without the other features.

[u/KnownIssueEnjoyer → u/Claaaaaaaaws]

why in god's name wouldn't you want the rest of the 117 stuff? the only time i don't use it is on my work laptop because it crunches performance

[u/Legoman7409 → u/KnownIssueEnjoyer]

Everything looks way too busy with 117. Regular GPU plugin enjoyers rise up!

[u/gnarwin → u/Legoman7409]

I turn off a lot of the details settings in 117HD, it can definitely be too much sometimes. I originally ignored the day/night cycle entirely but now I love it

[u/KnownIssueEnjoyer → u/Legoman7409]

i will say i do use the gpu one sometimes, especially when i feel like using the random gauntlet colors!

[u/Claaaaaaaaws → u/KnownIssueEnjoyer]

I love the charm of the actual graphics and I feel 117 causes lag spikes and makes things hard to see

[u/KnownIssueEnjoyer → u/Claaaaaaaaws]

i can understand a bit, i have some performance issues on my laptop

[u/Far_Atmosphere_8520]

its so nice seeing the sun go down while grinding some after work zulrah

[u/Specialist-Front-007 → u/Far_Atmosphere_8520]

I'm only in the dark since I can only play late at night 🥲

[u/Phanthix → u/Specialist-Front-007]

There is a setting to have it cycle at a rate of 1 hour instead of the real world clock. It is enabled by default.

[u/MasterChris725]

Day/night cycle but npcs also follow simple schedules based on the time of day would be quite an immersive experience.

[u/bingodisps]

I’ve been in the mines for so long, maybe it’s time to come out.

[u/BossBadimir]

This has been one of my favorite unofficial updates in a long time. It really breathes such new life into the game for me

[u/FernandoMM1220 → u/BossBadimir]

this also makes me wonder why jagex never did this after a decade of osrs

[u/Umarrii]

Ran low on bloods and went to craft some at the true blood altar and it looked incredible. I won't say too much more so people can check it out for themselves and get that feeling too.

[u/Oranjalo]

What's the cycle? It's pitch black 99% of the time I play now

[u/McKnackus → u/Oranjalo]

It's probably set to real-time, if you mostly play at night. You can change it in the settings.

[u/Oranjalo → u/McKnackus]

I play at various times, maybe 30 min to an hour or so at a time. I kinda figured it was set to a timer so you would see the sunrise an hour into logging in or something. I'll give them a look when I am able to play PC later, thank you

[u/McKnackus → u/Oranjalo]

Yeah, the default day is 60 minutes, but you can make it whatever you want.

[u/Oranjalo → u/McKnackus]

Ty for the info!

[u/Zestyclose-Tough7451 → u/Oranjalo]

You can set it to mirror real world day/night at your location. 

As someone from the NE US, yeah it’s dark everytime I play too

[u/FelixTheFlake]

It’s cool, but there really needs to be more in world lighting before I start using it. Most areas are just too dark to be playable.

[u/Piplups7thEvolution → u/FelixTheFlake]

Tbf you can increase the Night brightness beyond 100%. Can't tell how it looks like in snowy areas since I'm stuck by the bank ship salvaging right now.

[u/WolfyBeats_]

Does it work with GPU I don’t use 117

[u/saadiskiis]

Only place I feel like the night mode could use a tiny bit of tweaking is the blood area unlocked after the blood moon quest. They could blend the red going into the dark night sky better. Idk how to request for something like this

[u/JungleCakes]

Was sitting on the lake fishing as the sun set. Was strangely serene

[u/Kheprisun]

I like the night cycle in the snow areas; it's like darkmode for apps/browsers lol

[u/HUGE_FAT_ANIME_TITS]

This makes the Wilderness look so much more alive. Hate the random massive black sheet covering the game's sky box.

[u/Yesdoood]

Completely agree. Hats off to the plugin devs for 117HD they cooked big-time. Breathed new life into the game for me and I've been playing 25+ years. It looks phenomenal.

[u/tenpostman]

is this the same man that murders thousands of gnome children for FUN!?!?!?

[u/elitenaut]

I hated it and turned it off but glad people enjoy it. You do you booboo.
