WT's cheating log, ten years after.
Some months ago I started scripting again, eager to find out what this new skill invention is all about. I thought you might like to hear my story.
I took an old character with 76 smithing and 90 magic I frequently used to superheat. At the time (four/five years ago) it was one of my many characters that took ores from my many miners. All other free to play skills where around 40-50 or so due to happy little runescape, except for crafting which was really low.
First I needed to make sure I'd get my divination up. This turned out to super easy since modern RS is completely pacified. No more randoms, no more paranoia, and SRL turned out to be in a better shape then ever before! Whisp catching was easy; easy to find, easy to drain (thanks to getItemAmount(tabBackpack.getSlotBox(1)) and the divination well is a supergreen huge blob on mainscreen. Moreover, the well and the whips are almost the same for all locations, and all within pretty close distance of each other, and minimap.findSymbol(..., MM_SYMBOL_DIVINATION, minimap.getBounds()) still works great! Once I got the algorhythms right, it was just a matter of placing my char from spot to spot, tweak a little and watch the levels rise. Within a week my char was divination 80.
Next on the list: crafting! I placed my char at port Port Phasmatys (with the furnace next to the bank), bought 100k uncut emeralds (that took me a couple of days due to capping), 20k gold bars and wrote a little emerald cutter. Next I wrote a phasmatys banker-crafter for emerald necklaces I would later use for making porters. Crafting took longer than expected, and to make sure my char wouldnt be banned I started experimenting with porters.
I wrote simple gathering scripts using porters allowing me 560 resources in one run. For gold ores, I wrote a karamja gold miner/gatherer, for lobsters I wrote a karamja fishporter and for woodcutting I wrote a yew chopper/porter. Usually at the end of a long day of crafting I would place my char at one of these spots, with a inventory full of porters, and let'm grind for a couple of hours until I ran out of porters. My stack grew. With the obtained gold ores I got my smithing up to 80, and once crafting was done in two weeks... all was set for invention.
But since my poor character was only combat 48 or something and I needed a shitload of parts, I rewrote my old Moss Giant fighter. Well, I actually wrote it ground up, since so many things where changed. And with the newly unlocked invention skill, I dragged all loot in the invention pouch. Now that is a super neat feature! Thanks Jagex, what a great way to get rid of unwanted items! Once the moss Giants where too weak, I turned to Fire Giants. I bought myself guthan sets, augment the lot, autofight until level 10, and dissasemble...ad infinitum. Same is true for Rod-o-matics. I fish my invent full, grind the raw fish for organic parts until the rod is level 10. Also woodcutting with an augmented Dragon hatchet, and either dragging logs directly in the invention pouch or first turn them into bows provided enough simple, stave, flexible etc parts to keep my pouch up. And thanks to the divination script, whisps for divine charges where no problem too.
BTW: I also wrote some simple bank manipulation scripts; withdraw-click-blue button-wait til done-bank- ad infinitum... withdraw 14-14-use-bank, etc...) bankscreen.open(BANK_NPC_BLUE) is 110% flawless! Great work guys!) This got my herblore up to 60, my fletching up to 80 and helped getting my crafting up as well.
So this is where I am currently at. All in all, my char has been member for five month now, and in that time, I got my smithing, crafting, divination, combat at-str-def and invention all well over 85. Combat level of my char is now 116, I have lots of components, though I sometimes still need to buy battlestaffs and claws for strong and swift for augmentors and rod-o-matics. Guthan I buy using rs cash of which I still have plenty, since invention is a real moneydrain. But that was to be expected.
I will continue this until fed up. It will probably end with an Invention cape,lol.
I dont use the smart client, I simply lock up an old laptop and use the oldschool bitmap method with the standard client. At my work (audio post production studio) I have a spare machine in the pantry that customers frequently stare at asking what the hell is going on there. I tell them they are my tamagotchi's. They know I am creative and crazy...and they love it. Once and a while there is this sparks of recognition:" Heeey, isnt that runescape? How do you do that?" I give m our adress
So, so far so good. I still have the cautious approach; I regularly stare at the machine, tweak a little here and there, and never ever let it overnight. I still monitor for the presence of legits, and sometimes answer using the old autoresponder, but I keep this to a minimum. I monitor my activity and if it falls low, I simply stop the script and let the char idle until it lobbies/logsout.
I dont have many progress reports here available, but here is one from the Fire Giant script:
Worked for 2 Hours, 50 Minutes and 26 Seconds
Disassembeled 22 hatchets
Disassembeled 53 herbs
Disassembeled 3 scimitars
Disassembeled 5 sqshields
Disassembeled 3 bars
Disassembeled 2 strengthpots
ate 11 Lobsters
buried 320 bigbones
buried 1 bones
crafted 30 uncut gems
Disassembeled 15 cut gems
Disassembeled 250 runes and arrows
Disassembeled 6 raw rocktails
Disassembeled 6 raw cavefishs
Disassembeled 5 magic logs
LOOP 793
The script fights Giants, picks up all loot, buries the bones, uses heal to recover when not fighting, dissasembles "useless" armour, crafts gems, dissasembles them, dissasembles all runes and everything stackable above 50, notes all useful items using magic notepaper (another great invention, thanks Jagex!) and eats whatever it finds. I have a longer proggie, but as said...not here.
I also found a proggie from the Moss giants:
Worked for 2 Hours, 52 Minutes and 14 Seconds
Disassembeled 2 ores
Disassembeled 4 staffs
Disassembeled 10 herbs
Disassembeled 3 gauntletss
Disassembeled 13 sqshields
Disassembeled 7 fullhelms
Disassembeled 16 bars
Disassembeled 4 helms
Disassembeled 6 swords
Disassembeled 10 spears
Disassembeled 7 kiteshields
Disassembeled 90 seeds
Ate 1 rolls
Buried 339 bigbones
Buried 2 bones
Cut 10 gems
Cut 5 ucnuts
dissasembeled 750 runes and arrows
Thanks for reading this. I wanted to share this with you some time earlier, but now I am on vacation, I finally found the time to do so. My scripts aren't ready for release, if they ever will be, because I too am worried that it draws a circle of attention. Besides I am a lousy programmer, I program goal-oriented and not worry too much about convention. Once I am done I will prep them for release. Maybe.
Love,
WT!
