I'm not sure if I'm just heavily overlooking something painfully obvious... But, I seem to be having nothing but syntax errors, which I believe are due to compatibility issues between includes.
I have followed a few recent (and older) setup guides and they all lead to these problems, no matter what version of a script or include I use. The first problem I tend to run into is enabling certain extensions; I keep getting "failed to compile" and "unknown/duplicate declaration" errors when initially trying to enable the associate extension. Mkay, no big deal. Whatevs. The second problem I run into is the very next step in all guides; updating the srl extension's tabs. Srl itself updates fine, along with extensions. However, everytime I try to update the plugins tab, it ends in something along the lines of "kill received from updater."
I can usually get it to successfully update after certain versions of includes are installed .. Which I suspect is the source of my problems.
After tinkering around and trying different combinations of include/extension/plugin versions, it will actually compile a script successfully with no errors. However, running the script will result in SMART "failing to setup" or some random exception within an include...
Now... I have reinstalled java and Simba after each try of fiddling and tinkering, gave Simba administrator privileges, installed it to C:/, My Documents, and Desktop, and have even tried each combination in safe mode. Furthermore, I've tried just about every version combination of includes and extensions - Yes, I made sure to also install the extensions' respective plugins, if needed. I even went as far as getting the latest version of everything I could find and going through change logs to make tweaks and compatibility adjustments .. To no prevail, obviously. I couldn't even get relevant or helpful search results to piece this puzzle together.
I guess you should probably know I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, as well.
So with all that said.. Am I over complicating things due to a simple fix being overlooked, or are color bots truly dying out nowadays?
All I'd like to do is get a script running with SMART so I can start scripting for osrs from scratch.
Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm stumped.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT - Also, yes.. I was using the fixed version of Simba.exe along with its files, intended for RSWalker.
Just realized this was in the wrong forum... Anyone care to move it up a subforum..?
