    Default oh srl. its bout time we start fresh.

    Well since I'm entirely serious about this topic, I will take the time to write out every word in as correct syntax as I know how.

    The new SCAR, the new DEV Repo, the old reflection which was great when it lasted; I'm not entirely sure what happened to that..can someone fill me in?

    Anyway, this threads only purpose is to make a suggestion for the future of SRL. Now some of you may have OCD and some of you may be "perfectionists" which in my opinion is undiagnosed OCD, so some of you will understand where I am coming from.

    Others however, who have no problem with "messiness" or "do-it-yourself" type of things will immediately boo this idea.

    My suggestion is to start fresh. Clear The entire forum. Reorganize everything. Keep everything more up-to-date. 1 SRL. 1 Official SRL SCAR version (apparently 2.23 ATM).

    No Archives. Just a clean, fresh, new start.

    Now I myself am not that great of a scripter. Anyone who has SRL-Member status is Probably considerably above me. But it doesn't take a genius to realize how big SRL (the project itself) really is. Therefore, I'm not saying dump everything and start completely fresh...(even though that's what I usually do) I can see how much work everyone's put into SRL. And I can say I helped too. But this is just so messy now.

    The most common response I'm probably going to hear is:

    "It's not that hard just do it right, use the search button w\e."
    -Uhh no. You're missing the point. Re-read the Thread.

    "The messiness actually helps. It lets us filter out the complete leeches and idiots."
    -True, but sadly, you're still missing the point.

    Now, what I've seen a lot of recently is:
    "Script Status: Broken as far as I know." or "I'm no longer interested in updating this script."

    Everyone sees the signs. I'm just saying it how I see it. SRL is slowly dying.
    People are less active, they care less, and even though the idea is that when the vets leave new minds would come, it doesn't happen. Those new minds have nothing to learn from. It's too big of a mess. There's not many willing to teach, and most if not all Tutorials are outdated probably.

    I believe we should cut our losses and resettle. Metaphorically speaking.

    ~Note from me to me to you.~ :
    No this doesn't HAVE to get done. I'm just saying. I wouldn't mind this. And I'd be willing to help out and re organize and do what I could. If anything, the least you can do is leave me your thoughts on this matter, and anything I mentioned above. It would be really appreciated. Thanks.

    There is one SRL/SCAR
    SVN them both
    SRL to:
    SCAR to:
    Right click, and pres update once a day (or more often if you know an update has happened) and your done, its that easy.

    Runescape just had a bunch of graphical updates yesterday which we need to fix, which takes time and patience and people to code, just hold your horses for a few days until someone fixes them all, and you're fine.

    The system is fine IMO, you just caught us at a bad time

    No disorganization , just 4 clicks to update once you have everything setup.

    Edit:
    IMO the point of SRL, friendship, community, knowledge, teaching, learning how to CODE and ADVANCED TECHNIQUES etc, A LOT of people have started here with no knowledge whatsoever and evolved into strong SRL members and developers. The point of SRL is to teach, learn, excel, and purpose challenge ourselves to have a working and maintained COLOR CLICKING bot for rs.

    If you just want to auto fast and hard, go use one of the many available Java bots :].

    No offense to you or anyone but:
    You have only just got here, you haven't tried out all the new features of SRL.
    I like the way that SRL is, and the way people are.
    If you changed everything I am quite sure many poeple including members would leave.

    I'm curious, what's going to be different in SRL 5? Is it just going to be a REV fixing everything , or is it going to be spectacular?

    i think it's safe to bet its SRL that not only has new fixes but is updated more regularly and is probably gonna get the reorganization of a life time.

    SRL 5 is a complete rewrite of SRL, to fully utilise the power of Simba. Dont know when that will be coming. But I think we will reorganise forums and stuff at that time too.

    I am not here to cause an argument btw.
    But Are you sure?
    He failed to realise Simba.
    And hasn't searched about reflection.

    As I said, I am not trying to cause an argument or be harsh, just saying.

    simba is codename for simba.
    i honestly don't know why it was named that, but there's a funny/suspisious connection in my sig
    simba will be the new SCAR, and SRL 5 will be completely re-done. We are advancing, not starting fresh

    SRL 5 will be released when the new macro which SRL will be using, Simba, is ready.
    I don't think the forums are messy anymore. Also SRL has pretty much everything you need to create any script:
    - Plenty of object finding functions
    - AutoColors, although I don't know if they still work properly
    - Many types of RadialWalking functions, also a RadialWalking aid program in Scripting tools
    - DTMRotated for DTM walking
    - Symbol finding
    - All the possible text functions you might need: ChooseOption, IsUpText, many chat reading functions
    - All inventory functions you might need from RuneAmount to CountItems to DropItemsByIdentifier

    You don't need complicated custom TPA functions to make a script but they do add accuracy. So not much "do it yourself" is needed.

    Also, yesterday I made a thread to the dev section suggesting that all the rarely used functions somewhere in /misc/ should be taken away in SRL 5.
    This might take a few months though.
