    Originally, it used to mean Scar Resource Library. That was when we all used to use scar (the predecessor to Simba). SRL is basically a bunch of code (i.e., a library) that makes writing scripts for RuneScape easier.

    SRL Resource Library. It says it at the top left of the forums right under the big SRL logo.

    So if the S doesn't mean scar anymore does it mean Simba now. Ty

    SRL means SRL Resource Library the same way GNU means GNU's Not Unix.

    It makes perfect sense to me. SRL stands for SRL Resource Library. It's called a Recursive Acronym: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_acronym


    If I got out of here like you suggested, you'd know nothing. M8.

    Old Shitty Runescape. It's not OldSchool Runescape like 99.9% think.

    Also, as for the recursive acronyms, it's not uncommon as software names. Another piece of big software using a recursive acronym is WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator). It's not really stupid, it's just playful. Software often has names without meaning, so why not do that, but instead as a recursive acronym.

    PS: Just posting to up your postcount can get you a ban (perhaps "just" a temporary one, think it depends). Shitposts just to reach 30 or something posts is not something we like to see.

    Literally don't give a fuck about post count or getting banned, tbh. I remember when SRL-OSR include just came out(couple yrs after osrs came out), I simply forgot the OSR was meant to denote Old School Runescape. I don't blame myself considering the fact that everyone says OSRS now.

    It's not stupid, recursive acronyms are an old hacker tradition.

    Watch the language and the spam or you'll end up banned. Whether or not you care does not matter to us.

    it was scar resource library. You basically just had alot of includes like bitmap finding algos and runescape ocr letter finding all lumped into a library. simba is when whatsup took over from kat rename I believe.

    Everything related to easy scripting was lumped together for an easy include for scripting in runscape. scar/simba is a all around basic tool. The library added functions for a certain game such as spiral find color and so on.

    I use to help fix algos eons ago
