Add AC-130 Gunship plugin

[bobbyswhip]

AC-130 Gunship

MW2-style AC-130 killstreak mode for Old School RuneScape. This is a client-side visual effect only — no actual damage is dealt and no game rules are broken. Other players cannot see the effects. It is purely cosmetic entertainment for streamers and content creators.

Features

• Thermal Vision Overlay — Green-tinted night vision with scanline effects and white-hot player highlighting
• Orbiting Camera — Automatic slow orbit around your character at a top-down angle
• Three Weapons — 25mm Cannon (rapid auto-fire), 40mm Bofors (medium), 105mm Howitzer (heavy with screen flash and smoke)
• Projectile System — Visible projectiles descend from altitude to the targeted tile
• Ground Explosions — Impact effects with explosion graphics and smoke clouds
• Kill Detection — Players in blast radius play death animation and fade from thermal view
• Kill Feed — Animated slide-in kill feed with fade-out transitions
• Score Popups — Floating "+100 KILL" text above eliminated players
• HUD — Weapon name, ammo bar, kill counter, fire readiness indicator
• Crosshair — Dual-circle targeting reticle with range tick marks
• Sound Effects — Distinct fire and impact sounds for each weapon

generic player highlighting in this manner is not allowed as it is abusable for scouting and does not respect player privacy concerns

show me the game rules that state this as being disallowed, from what i see the discord just blanket denies anything they deem as AI slop.

@bobbyswhip see https://github.com/runelite/runelite/wiki/Rejected-or-Rolled-Back-Features and https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/third-party-client-guidelines?oldschool=1 - which you should have read before making the submission

IMO the only concern is highlighting players in wilderness, so if you can disable the functionality in wilderness, this should be OK.

[bobbyswhip]

The rules specifically mention "Level-based PvP player indicators," which this plugin is clearly not. Additionally, there's a rule against plugins that indicate players in an opposing clan during PvP. The "Player Indicators" plugin currently appears to break this rule, yet it is included and distributed with every RuneLite client.

It feels like the rules are being applied inconsistently here. Could you please take another look at them? I want to make sure we're all following the same standard.

Player Indicators has the option to highlight players in your own clan, not an opposing clan.

Generic player highlighting is on the RuneLite rejected features list:

Highlighting "Offline" Friends (and generic player highlighting): Not included to respect players with their messaging mode set to Private and to avoid harassing players (see #951)

[bobbyswhip]

sorry i have been mixed up it's the entity hider plugin which does this (combines with player indicators to make it more visible) you can up entity hider so that it HIDES your entire clan which makes only your enemies visible - player indicators is then used to label the opposing clan.

In conjunction these two plugins very specifically break the rules you allege to follow.

[cdfisher]

That still just ends up showing any players who aren't members of your current clan, not specifically marking members of an opposing clan, or serving as a generic player highlighting feature, which is why that's considered ok.

There is some subtlety to the distinction but there isn't any deliberate inconsistency to how the rules are applied on our end.

[bobbyswhip]

that's clearly false when it's used for unfair advantage in PvP, specifically it's used by bots to jam things like wilderness levers etc.

if that's allowed then I will be abusing it shortly

It's not an uncommon occurrence to ask authors to disable plug-in features in the wilderness.
