Completely new to scripting - help needed

[msemtex]

Hi, I have less than a years experience coding in Java (creating command line based programs and applets). I'm currently in my first year of software engineering at University. And I fancied a try at scripting.

I just wanted to know a few things:

>How is the remote cursor implemented?
>How are bitmaps used?
>Where do I start?

Like I said, I'm completely new and would like to give something back to the community for a couple of bot scripts I have used.

All help would be appreciated.

Welcome! An awesome place to start is yohojo's video tutorials. We also have a tutorial section with various tutorials, including bitmap tut's. The remote mouse is used in a program called smart, which allows you to minimize the bot while it is botting. To open it, add {$DEFINE SMART} to the beggining of your script. Most scripts in our scripts section use Smart. This is assuming you are scripting RS, of course, I'm not sure if there's a remote mouse for other scripts.

Bitmaps are generally used for finding stationary objects in your inv/minimap

For starting out, there are many great tutorials in the beginners section :D

For starters, the Scripting Tutorials (http://villavu.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=191) section contains tutorials for most of Simba/SRL's features that are difficult to be understood intrinsically.

You should also check out the Simba Scripting Reference (http://docs.villavu.com/simba/referencescript.html) for details on all of Simba's built-in functions and procedures.

It's probably a good idea to browse through the SRL repository (C:\Simba\Includes\SRL\SRL) as well. You can also look through the SRL include by including SRL in a blank document and opening the include tab in Simba's sidebar.

Good luck!
