This guide will hopefully include all the information that is needed to setup Simba so that it is completely ready to use any script with (so long as it works with simba)
I will try to include as many images as i can to make it as easy to follow as i can
First of all you will need to have installed java, then download simba from this location http://wizzup.org/simba/
Click on the Download tab at the top
Click on "here" to download the installer and download it.
Once you have downloaded the file install it by double clicking on the file or double clicking on the browsers built in download manager
Once you have installed Simba you can open it up
This is is what simba looks like at the current time of writing this tutorial
Next thing to do is update Simba because the installer is not updated, but luckily there is a built-in updater
If you look at the bottom of the image above you will see in the white box (which is called the debug box) that there is an update available
Click on the little red and green arrows at the top of the screen
The following window will popup which will download and update simba
Click on the update button
Then when it tells you to restart all runing Simba binaries, restart Simba
Once simba has been restarted you should have a screen like the one below
Next we will install SRL and Reflection
Click on "View"
Then "Extensions"
This window will pop up
Click on srl.sex
Click on the checkbox beside "Enable: SRL Updater"
Do the same for msi.sex too
do the same for any others you want
just a little run down of what each one dones:
srl.sex: srl.sex is a little extension which will automatically update your srl and reflection when a new version comes out
msi.sex: msi.sex is a little extension which will automatically update your msi when a new version comes out. MSI is a community script which does multiple skills all in one script. more info can be found at http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57724
associate.sex: associate.sex is a little extension which will associate all .simba files with simba which will stop them from opening in another text editor
dtm_editor.sex: dtm_editor.sex is a little extension which gives you a DTM editor which is used for making DTM's which are used in scripts
security.sex: security.sex is a little extension which will ask you everytime simba tries to access a file or web address, this is for security reasons
paster.sex: this extension lets you paste your script online with a click of a button so there is no copy and pasting
CRov.sex: this saves your scripts while your editing them so if simba crashes for anyreason, you will not loose any of what you have written
Close the window and click on the SRL menu, then "Check for update"
do the same for the MSI menu
Close the window and in the debug box it should say the following
now one last thing to do
run this
Simba Code:program new;
{$DEFINE SMART}
{$i srl/srl.simba}
begin
SetupSRL;
end.
if the following pops up after a few seconds then you have successfully setup Simba, if it does not or it comes up with an error then post a reply and i will try to help as soon as possible
If instead of showing the above image it pops up a error message about a file called msvcr71.dll then follow this tutorial which was also made by me : http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?p=735219
If instead of showing the above image it pops up a error message about sps32 or libsmart32 not being available then do this (also by me) : http://villavu.com/forum/showpost.ph...0&postcount=14
Congratz! You now have Simba, SRL and Reflection set up so you can run ANY Simba compatible script
If you are having a problem where you run a script and it just sits on the login screen, then go to to this thread Link
Also when SRL, Reflection or MSI becomes outdated, they will automatically be updated for you
If there is a update for Simba then simply do the steps from above when you first updated Simba
Let me know if i forgot anything
