This is absolutely incredible. Someone would have had to know how to or experiment with rendering OSRS level data, but then they went a step further and replicated portions of UI, simulated some basic movement for the NPCs across all spaces, and mapped out their identifiers to link to the OSRS wiki.

Someone had been working on this for a while, and had a specific combination of technical skills and attention to detail to make this happen.

The NPCs that have their unique walking and standing animations seems to have been replicated too. See here: https://osrs.world/?cx=2956.96&cy=6&cz=3363.12&p=-151&y=2047... . OSRS wiki supports lookup by NPC IDs: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Special:Lookup?type=npc&i... . So that itself isn't too complicated.

I think the dataset they're using is https://archive.openrs2.org/ . It looks like NPC data might be a part of that. This version has the wrong NPC mappings, and also missing object data: https://osrs.world/?cx=3262.58&cy=8.22&cz=3265.93&p=-244&y=1...

Older Runescape 2 (pre-OSRS) caches have objects but no NPCs.
