Convert .scar to .exe?

[Tails111]

Is it possible to convert the script into an exe format so I don't need scar on every computer I use?

[Markus]

No, isn't possible.

[GoF]

It is possible.. Sythe made a program for that. But it's very unsafe and retarded and I don't suggest that.

[The Element]

SCAR is easy to download. Just don't be lazy.

[lordsaturn]

Yea, I second what Element said. SCAR takes like two seconds to download, two seconds to install, and two seconds to download SRL. So if you have six seconds to spare then just download it. :p

Hey talis, I have kinda wondered that question myself.

I have always liked the simple portability that one exe would provide.

when demonstrating, or presenting a scar script, it would be much easier to run a exe file that pops up a form, than to have to install scar, install srl , and make sure that you have the rigth versions of everyhting.

So its not really being lazy, its a pretty decent idea.

Unfortuantly I have never seen a program that will do this for yiou, and creeating one would be prety dificult.

Scythe is defanitly a place you should NEVER go, excepecialy NEVER go for any exe business.

Good sujestion though, if anyone does have a program that can do this, pm me, io would like to show one of my friend scar like that some day.

[ShowerThoughts]

i think its already possible with visual basic isnt?

[rotflmfwao]

Compiling a SCAR script to an exe would, in my opinion, be a bad idea. Someone could edit your exe, and put trojans and other viruses in it. It would take more time to debug if runescape was updated. Just my opinion.

[IEatJ00erBaybees]

Maybe you could put SCAR+SRL+Script together in an exe, with Freddy's permission of course.

[NxTitle]

use a self-extracting rar file. Put in scar.exe with the dlls it needs, along with the script and the srl library. Then make the rar file "stealth" extract to a temporary directory and have it run "scar.exe file.scar". Admitted, it will turn out to be a big exe, but you asked for it :p .

[ShowerThoughts]

i did somthing like that to but i only want its pops a form up

[Tails111]

It isn't anything I would publish, it is just I would like to be able to run it on my mom's computer and my dad's and so on, they wouldn't let me install scar on their computers because they don't know what it is. And I don't intend on telling them. Anyways the self-extracting Rar sounds like a good idea.

I don't trust Sythe at all.

And size isn't a problem, I am using my 2 gig flash drive.

[LordGregGreg]

Its a little bit trikier than you all think.

if you want to be using scar.. then u are going to need to buiold scar into your exe. That bring copywight problems, and also, just I don't want to remake scar, lol.

If you pakage it like a rar, then you have the problem of haivng to instal exeverything exery time you run the script.

The realy only feasable method that i see, is to somehow get the code that scar generats from the pascal code.

Take that, and then u can shoot it into a little bit fo an exe.

Defanitly not a good projject for the most of us, with limited returns, but cool either way.

and yeah, you can use vb, c++ (same thing right?), java, delphi, or x langurage of choice to do it.

[rotflmfwao]

Except for SCAR apparently... :p

[Dude]

@lord, i believe c++ is a totally different language to VB, with similar syntax

Even though you are all saying Sythe is a bad place to go because of scammers, its only really the market where you will be scammed.

Sythe did make something like this, but it was a basic program. basically you package up SCAR, your script and SRL into an Exe and then when you run that exe, it extracts all the files to a folder, runs scar, loads your script and presses the run button for you. Thats it. Its basically the computer doing what we normally do.

Yes it would be nice to have SCAR scripts compile into an exe, but that would make SCAR a scammers heaven. Usernames and Passwords could easily be stolen without the user ever knowing it, as well as destructive code being built into SCAR. We have enough problems now with people trying to steal passwords by hiding them in scar scripts, imagine what would happen if the code was closed source, and no one was checking what the script is capable of.

IMO, i think if you can't download SCAR, follow simple instructions to install SRL and press the run button, you are lazy, and don't really deserve what you are getting. Basically all of it is an automated task, and there are thousands of guides around on how to do it.

I am against SCAR scripts compiling into EXEs

Dang!

Yes, all very valid points...

and the only plus to .exe wouold be utten noobish simplicity.

bads defanitly outway the good.

I am against .exe scar files as well.

[kushal]

u can, u need to redo the script though, like secet talker? and stuff like that.

[Infantry001]

No, secet talker was built in Delphi alone, which can build into an .exe file.

Well, I think Freddy could do it, but will not let anyone know how. I remember someone saying that he/Kaitnieks knew how to make scripts into .exes. But, no, Scar scripts should never be run with an .exe.

[ShowerThoughts]

star is right:o

[Tails111]

Its not because I want to be lazy, it is because I want to be able to run my scripts on a different computer, like at my grandma's house. She would never let me install scar there. It would NEVER be something I would release. Just so I could use Scar and my scripts on a computer that I generally would not be allowed to install it on.

I wouldn't use it on my normal computer just for the ones that I can't install scar without getting in trouble.

[Markus]

I installed scar on my USB Stick, works fine at every computer I come :)

[Starblaster100]

exactly.

you don't have to install scar to have it working. install SCAR one one computer, and then copy all of the files onto a USD and run at another persons house. it will work as normal without installing onto the computer

[Tails111]

Oh, I had tried that with CloneCD and it hadn't worked. Anyways, are there any files in the Registry I have to take or is just the Scar 3.11 folder I need?

[Starblaster100]

Just the SCAR 3.11 folder. And remember to go to Tools --> Options --> Save SCAR settings to INI just to be on the safe side

[Tails111]

Ok thanks!

[The Prince of Randomness?]

And fail one of SCARs neccesarry functions. No viruses
