Back after a long break with a new account.
Hey guys, an old timer here. Been playing RS since 2003 on and off and in 2011 called it quits. I am back for at least a couple of months and wanted to play this game again. I used to have an account on this forum, however I forgot my username. Although I don't really care I did develop three of my own scripts. A toad picker if I recall, fungus picker, and a snape grass picker. They were pretty successful as the snape grass market crashed a day after my public release. With all this said I am almost done with my school studies, majoring in EE. I do have a great deal of programming experience, in C, assembly, Matlab, and a bunch of other languages that don't matter.
I had a few questions before I started scripting again and since I wanted to introduce myself and ask questions I choose this subforum, sorry if it wasn't the right one. Before color scripts we were able to use data from the actual client but Jagex were able to randomize this data and it was not feasible to script that way anymore. I might be totally wrong but this is what I remember. After this we started scripting in color and it was not as easy as the previous experience. I will be playing Old school RS with a new account and that may impede my ability to write some type of scripts but I will try my best to deliver the best quality.
Onto the questions:
1) Random events are happening quite often and I have noticed an ability to dismiss the NPC. Does dismissing an NPC work and does this put a user on a watch list after multiple dismissals?
2) Does the SIMBA client still have the pre written random events solver or is that not required anymore?
3) Before I left I believe someone said that color would be gone soon since Jagex would be able to manipulate colors? I don't think that's possible though...
4) How are the ban waves? I used to run my bot every night and never had a problem.
5) Was there ever an update that required an alteration of scripts and the SIMBA client, by update I mean a major one.
6) What language did we script in again? Sorry bit of a noob question.
7) Any recent scripts that I should look at and refresh my knowledge of scripting?
8) What is the most advanced and "hard" script someone has made on this forum which works efficiently and successfully? I am asking this so I know the potential of color scripting at this point.
9) I got into the members forum when I submitted my application, are we still using the same system? If so I will gladly re do the process with a new script.
10) Any tips or advice before I begin writing?
Thank you for your responses, if there is anything else I can think of I will revisit and ask again.
