Knight Finder finds worlds where a Knight of Ardougne is already pinned down for pickpocketing, shared between plugin users.

What it does

  • Notices a pinned knight on the player's own world: one that has stayed within a two tile box for thirty seconds while somebody picks its pocket, or while it is in combat with a player (the "splashing" method). A knight that merely pauses in the street does not count.
  • Outlines that knight with how it is pinned, how many people are on it and how long it has been there. This works with sharing off.
  • With sharing enabled, reports it, and lists the knights other users have found in a side panel. There is no hop button.

Third-party server

Reports go to https://knights.shep.rip, which I run (the same service as Meteor Reporter, #15668). Sharing is opt-in and off by default; the single Enable shared knights toggle carries the standard IP warning.

A report contains the world, the knight's coordinates, a short name for the spot, whether it is in combat or trapped, and a count of players who have pickpocketed it recently. No player names or other player information are sent; the count is a number, and the server forgets a knight ninety seconds after the last report. The server stamps its own timestamps, validates every field, and rate limits reads and writes per IP.
