world hider: Hiding worlds on login screen

[Macweese]

This is more a probe into whether this is something desired in the plugin, than an actual issue, to offer the ability to hide both the world browser and current world in the login screen.

Though this would necessitate some fields being exposed in the core client, at least for the "current world" indicator in the login screen. Hiding information in the world browser requires a little more work and might be a big ask from core.

For demonstration this is what it'd look like:

Yes! This is exactly what I was going to open a thread about.

I would absolutely LOVE to have the option to hide the world number on the login screen to 'XXX' as seen in-game with the plugin on.

any update on this? world hider is great but i have to make sure not to show my login screen when streaming, because it doesn’t work there. having the login screen hide the world number would save so much alt-tabbing when switching accs

The method which this is accomplished is not permitted, (as this was mainly a showcase and not a PR), from a code perspective this is 99% done but relies on approval from both this repository and RuneLite, for it to move forward.

As per the initial post, this was mostly checking if this kind of feature was desired within the plugin. Seeing that there is at least some interest for it, I think maybe the next step is for the maintainer to decide whether this should be included, first if it gets the green light from dekvall before finally requesting the necessary changes from the core RuneLite team.

So this could get denied at several steps, but I'll try to see what can be done about this.

@dekvall Do you have any opinion on this? Acceptable/unwanted/other...?

[dekvall]

If it can be done without reflecting into the client i'm ok with it.

yay!
