    Default 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.

    1) Only Jagex knows.
    2) Not required. I'm sure the deprecated versions are still available somewhere.
    3) That's impossible. Colors change occasionally but HSL tolerance accounts for that.
    4) Ban rates are low, as long as you don't use any less-secure Java bots, and bot safe as a rule.
    5) Yes, several. Things that alter the look & feel of the game can break a lot of SRL routines.
    RS2 -> RS3 & the New Interface System is an example. The font for UpText / choose-option menus has been changed before. Stuff like that.
    6) Pascal, using the Lape interpreter.
    7) Anything by The Mayor is excellent to learn from (for RS3).
    8) I'm going to refrain from answering this one as OpenGL interception and ogLib are fairly new here. They will allow for the creation of much more advanced scripts, but we haven't seen any yet because the interaction method hasn't existed here for very long. As far as color is concerned, taking into account only current scripts, I'd say bonsaiFighter.
    9) Same system, I believe Jr. Member is required to submit a Members application.
    10) Depends on which game you're planning on script for. If RS3, I recommend The Mayor's AIO tutorial.

    1) no
    2) Yes, but they are no longer required
    3) In-game colors have always changed (unless you count that scar client or whatever that was made a long time ago so that the colors were always the same) and color scripts have always used color tolerance anyway
    4) People still do this with simba, but it's not 2010 anymore you can get banned. I have no idea how likely it is to get banned these days, but I know we can't just run scripts for weeks on end anymore
    5) I guess you mean a new SRL version, and yes, SRL-6 is written in lape instead of pascalscript.
    6) Lape, similar to pascal
    7) IDK what script I could link you to to help you learn that's something only you can do. Most up to date scripting tutorial: https://villavu.com/forum/showthread...757&highlight=
    8) Kevin made a kuradel slayer script that was 100% color, Ashaman88 made a ape atoll agility course than ran for a month straight and the LRC rock miner(that could also probably run indefinitely) , @Clarity; is rumored to have a dungeoneering script (openGL though I think, beginning to think it's about as real as RiD genesis (LOL I joke) zmon made some sort of color dungeoneering base that could detect resources, doors, and floor objects using some pretty sophisticated math(again 100% color), zmon also made a random event solver that could solve the party pete random event using only color, JJ made a badass molly random event solver and Great Orb Project script. Those are the only ones I can think of and I am just scratching the surface of some pretty nice 100% color scripts on here
    9) PM a forum admin if you can remember any details about your former member account (AFAIK prove it's you) and they will merge the accounts for you
    10) See number 7

    3) SCARScape! I remember that old thing. Sythe (of sythe.org fame) made that, didn't he?

    It could do some neat things like fix camera angles and color values to make botting with SCAR a lot easier.

    I have no idea I didn't bot back then but I remember reading about it

    @Justin can help you with finding your old account. If you were a member before then you really should still have access to that account.

    Your questions have already been answered so I won't answer those, but if you're going to be scripting for 07scape check out @Flight's AeroLib include and the Reflection include.

    You can do pretty much anything you want, it just depends on how much time you have to dedicate, whether you have the patience for only 500 line scripts, or 5k lines+. As master scripters like zmon have shown, anything is possible with Simba with the right code. Color DG is of course possible, but really impractical/months and months of work which is why I worked on it in OGL.

    The DG script parts which I had made until I paused work on it totaled a few thousand in OGL, I'd assume color would be far greater. I'm excited to get back to that project when vertices and other things are added to GLX.dll

    So yes I suppose you could say it's as real as Genesis is at the moment

    Welcome back to SRL!

    Fair enough, I was just tagging you to notify you and so he'd know who to speak to. I'll say "PM Justin" in future.

    I'm fine with starting on a fresh new account, and I would rather not have the old account where I was just a child.

    Anyways I forgot to ask this question but, is there a list of useful functions or subroutines I can use on my script. A list of the commonly used ones along with the includes needed?

    Yes, static colors both on the main game screen and the minimap, static North compass angle and the minimap zoom was static as well. Evidently there was sister client dubbed "Simbascape" that popped up on Sythe but the source was unknown, so I can't imagine many people tried that one.

    Anyways... Are these questions more directed towards RS3 or OSRS?

    Current projects:
    [ AeroGuardians (GotR minigame), Motherlode Miner, Blast furnace ]

    Eh, fair enough I suppose, but I doubt anyone would hold any grudges or misplaced feelings about you unless you were an asshole, lol. Doesn't SRL have a one account only rule anyway?
