I. Downloading and installing Tortoise SVN.
If you already have it continue past his part if not then click here scroll down a little, and download either the 32 bit or 64 bit file and install it.
----------------------------------
II. Getting the latest SCAR
Right now as I am writing this, it is Jan 1, 2010. The latest SCAR as of the time I am writing this that you will need for RS autoing is SCAR Divi Beta 3.23. The normal download can be found here (where you should select "Normal Edition") but you can not find SCAR prerelease which is what you will need to auto.
To get SCAR 3.23 you will need to create a new folder somewhere named 'SCAR 3.23 Beta', right click that folder and find SVN Checkout, use this URL
Code:
http://freddy1990.com/svn/scarprerelease
----------------------------------
III. Getting the latest SRL
Open up your newest version of SCAR, Tools->Explorer Folder->Includes. In your includes folder create a new folder, name it SRL, right click that folder and select checkout. Use this URL to check out from
Code:
http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl-opendev
Once all the files have downloaded, bring SCAR back up and click Tools->Options->SRL Download->Move Plugins. Once you have done that, in the SCAR window you should see:
Highlight all of that and replace it with:
SCAR Code:
{.Include SRL\SRL.SCAR}
begin
SetUpSRL;
end.
Now go Script->Compile, it should say
Code:
Successfully compiled (xxxx ms)
or something very similar, if you get any errors it is most likely because the plugins did not move correctly. To move the plugins manually Tools->Explorer Folder->Includes->SRL->Place inside plugins folder->Highlight everything and select copy. Tools->Explorer folder->Plugins Folder->Paste->Overwrite all/yes to all. If you are still getting errors you are most likely missing the plugin from this thread go to that thread, find PetePlugin.rar, download it, extract all files, and place them in your plugin folder as well. At this point, if Script->Compile still gives you errors you have a problem with your setup I can't help you with and you should post about it in the General Help Section.
Too keep your SCAR and SRL up to date, everyday right click your SCAR 3.23 beta folder and click update, and do the same thing with your SRL folder, right click SRL folder, and select update.
----------------------------------
IV. Setting up everything for scripts
A lot of scripts are outdated, but a lot of them aren't! To find good scripts you can look in three places.
- Free for all scripts
here is where you'll find scripts that are accessible to absolutely anyone who comes to SRL on their very first day! (the links to two other script repositories are listed further down in the thread btw) - SRL Junior Member Scripts
Probably the best place to look for scripts, you have to have a post count of 10 or above and been around for a week to access this page. You can sort scripts by category by clicking on the skill symbols next to any script. - SRL Member and Above scripts
These scripts are reserved for those who make a certain ranking, SRL members have their own script section, SSRL, Developers, and maybe even higher up than that! have their very own script sections. To see a guide about SRL rankings go here.
POMS - Publicly owned a maintained scripts, is a group of scripters who collaborate to make scripts. We currently have a working essence miner and a tutorial still being made.
To get POMS, Tools->Explorer folder->Scripts Folder. There you should create a new folder and name it POMS. Right click that folder and checkout from
Code:
http://srlpoms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
(please post anything about those scripts on their official thread, not here)
RCrB - Rune Crafter ReBorn. I is a project I have been working on for quite some time. It used to be able to craft every rune before reflection broke. Right now it only crafts airs, but will soon be adding much more crafting capabilities. To get RCrB go Tools->Explorer folder->Scripts create a folder named whatever you'd like, for example: RCrB SVN. Then checkout from this link:
Code:
http://rcrb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
(again please post anything about this script on the official thread)
To set up global stats for any script see this thread.
If you would like to you SMART (minimizable runescape client, meaning you can auto while doing other things on your computer... not affecting mouse or screen space) then make sure you have the lines
Code:
{.Include SRL\SRL\Misc\SMART.SCAR} //Comment out to disable.
Looking like that and not this
Code:
//{.Include SRL\SRL\Misc\SMART.SCAR} //Comment out to disable.
The above setup would be for normal runescape clients, and for that you will need to drag and drop the crosshairs (looks like a sniper scope on the tool bar) onto the runescape client.
To setup your players, some scripts require a form to be filled out (like POMS or RCrB) to do this, after you have completed the setup lines in the script click run, at this point a window will pop up, if you are just autoing with 1 account then don't worry about create user or delete user or left right arrows. Just put in your username, password, nickname (2nd, 3rd and 4th letters of your username) bankpin (if you have one), and check player active (depending on if you want that player to be used are not) there will probably be other fields to fill in. Trips is usually used (in POMS and RCrB it is) used to dictate how many loads you will do per round, meaning after it does that many loads it switches to the next player by logging out and doing the set amount of loads for that player then going to the next palyer and eventually back to the first one until another field like (max ess to craft, or max ess to mine) is reached. Players can also become false from failed random solving, getting lost, ect.. If you are just running one player set loads to about 999999 (no commas, EVER!, don't put to many digits in either as you will crash SCAR, keep it around 0-8 digits) make sure you have max essence to craft set to the amount of essence you have, or max ess to mine doesn't really matter because the ess mines aren't going to run out of it.
Other scripts use manual in script player setup, to do this it's just the same but scroll down and find procedure DeclarePlayers; and make sure you put in the correct information for everything from HowManyPlayers to Active, to set active True means yes/checked, false means no/unchecked.
----------------------------------
V. Common errors
DIB errors, close and reopen SCAR (this will automatically close SMART if it's open)
"SCAR won't open help!" Run fix scar.exe in your SCAR folder, or maybe you changed resolutions lately and it moved off the screen. Set back to max resoultion and move it to the upper left... and also open task manager and click and processes that say scar.exe, then reopen SCAR. For DIB errors you can also do Client>Reset specified Window> And then drag crosshair again (for non-smart dib errors).
Always allow any script to connect to internet and files!
Always remember to remove your username and passwords when uploading or pasting scripts! (for forms don't give them your external script settings files and make sure you remove any info from the setup lines)
Always remove your usernames from progress reports you post! (replace with *********)
