Runescape 3 or Runescape 07?

[SIZE=5]The 5 Checkpoints



Below is a quick summary of what you have to consider to pass them successfully


Technique (/10)

This relates to what type of loops you have used where, how you found that certain object on the floor, how you detected that door, how you made sure your script was fail safe. It also refers to issues such as whether you should have used DTMs / DDTMs / bitmaps there or not, how you have found an ore/tree/etc., and if you could have done this any better

Individuality (/10)

This refers to whether your scripting style is your own or not. The more individual your script is, the better it is for you, because this means you really understand what all of the different procedures / functions / types / methods should be used for. it means you are relying less on other people, and are developing your own style.

Use of SRL (/10)

This relates to how well you have used the SRL include. Are you creating custom functions that are already in SRL, or are you using the existing ones in the include. Also, are you using them correctly? There is no point in creating something which is already in the include. Basically this shows how well you have looked through the include before resorting to making it yourself, and it shows your understanding of the include as well.

Efficiency (/10)

The more efficient the script is, the better it is. Why constantly write out procedures when you can use a simple repeat instead? Are you using "end else" when needed? Do you have duplicate functions? Are you freeing DTMs / bitmaps after finishing with them? The more efficient your script is, the better it will run, and the easier errors will be to fix when they arise. No more than 300 lines.


Meeting Requirements (/10)

How did the script run when we tested it? Did it do what it was asked for? Any problems? As simple as that.

Take a good look at the checkpoints and I will be updating this soon! As soon I finish some objectives for this competition.

Questions? Ask away! To enter please post in this thread.

Big thanks to The Mayor.

"May the SRL Gods be with you!"

Even though the requirements aren't up atm, I'd love to have a go at this. Count me in.

Looks great! Looking forward to more details over the next few days ;)


E: Just realised it's only fitting that you use Starblaster100;'s marking grid for a 'powerskills' competition :D

Awesome! I don't think I can compete, but I can probably donate some gold if this ends up being RS3.

Would rather it for OSRS but may challenge myself with some SRL-6 and do an RS3 script if it comes to that. Thanks

I'd definitely be in for a competition like this, been wanting one for a while now!
One question though, what is "powerskill"?

Great! also please mention, RS3 or OSRS?

Sounds good! I will shoot you a PM if we decide on RS3.

Okay cool so you would be just fine if we decide on RS3 or OSRS

Great, RS3 or OSRS? Also powerskill = Power fletching/ Power woodcutter/ Power miner/ etc. (Obtain & drop).

Thanks all,

P1nky

P1nky; It would be very nice if this was for OSRS since there have been no competitions so far for OSRS and it could encourage a few people ;)

Pavement
06-29-2015, 03:18 PM
Any way of doing both though or is that too hard to compare.

Also powerskill = Power fletching/ Power woodcutter/ Power miner/ etc. (Obtain & drop).

You should probably add this to the main post and give more examples of what a powerskill is/isnt as i was very confused on reading the thread with no reference to the actual title of the competition.

Some other limitations might be nice... For example... Could someone make a prayer one that just buries bones? Will the user have to furnish an account to test the script on? Is there any way to compare script A to script B by actually running them? or do you just plan to read the code?

Also, if I am reading this correctly, following the checkpoints scoring, let say I were to enter. Assuming everything is weighted evenly, I (or any other member+) could obtain a score of 48.33333 (10+10+10+10+10*[5/6])

Thanks for the clarification P1nky;
As for which version, I choose RS3.

This will be a RS3 competition, will there be anymore scripters that would like to participate?

Note: Participants please expect a PM from me soon.

I won't be participating, but I'll be happy to add some rs3 gold to the prize fund :P ... P1nky send me a pm and I'll happily put towards the prize :)

I may not be a good scripter, but it doesn't mean others can't be rewarded for trying hard :)

A power skill is a skill that is trained without banking as in, power woodcutting, power miner, power hunter, power thiever, etc..
Basically collect/make then drop and repeat

P1nky hasn't logged in for over a month - probably safe to say that it's not still on.

P1nky really shouldn't have posted this if he isn't following it through. Posting the thread with no details was also a bad idea. Someone needs to take over this competition if it is still gonna happen.

Can anyone contact him to be sure he's not going to follow through? I wouldn't mind taking it over, or helping at least.

So did P1nky just run off with the prize pot or...?

I'll try to talk to Wizzup?; tonight to be sure this is an "official" competition.

This competition IS still on. I will be "taking charge" and posting a new thread with official details in the next day or so.

Most rules that have already been established will remain in place. Might increase the line limit, but I want to get some input from the other judges (if there are any around still?).

I'm glad that this will be on again! Sadly I can't participate anymore because I am no longer a Jr Member. I have only been SRL Member for a couple of weeks now, but if you need any assistance with the judging. I am more than willing to help!

Eh, a members competition could be soon to follow. We'll see how this one goes. I honestly wouldn't mind opening this up to members as well, but we'll see what others have to say.
