THE Beginner's Simba Tutorial

[rj]

mHOW long will it take till i can make simba scripts >_> I wanna make a barb agility 9_9, A fisher, TRee chopper and banker 6_6. I understand the loops i mean i cant write them but by reading it I understand everything of the information that you stated.

Just read up on some tutorials, is varies from person to person. Start small and then learn more and more complicated stuff

Can a pro make a script that does hunter and alchs while it waits? im talking runescape

[Rotcrack]

Thanks, I found this really helpful!

It would depend on what was being hunted and how dedicated the scripter was.

[Dezval]

Thank you!! This guide was very helpful to me

[Maxed Red]

I just saw this tutorial and I was wondering if you could re upload the link to the PDF, it would be a lot easier for me if i had the PDF version. If not it's fine.

Hey, I'm kinda new but can understand really well and follow instructions, Basically I am going to write a test script for chopping a magic tree but I have found the Color Tolerance Code unreliable so I have decided to follow your method on creating a new font. I so far just created only two letters from my desired object which is Magic Tree, the two letters I have created are a,g, both lowercase saved with correct numbers according to your chart. Now I was wondering how can I use them now that they are in the folder 'sgUpChars'

Came back to villavu after a while and this tutorial helped me refresh my scripting knowledge

Sorry for the late response:
"stringvariable here := GetTextAtExWrap(x1, y1, x2, y2, minspacing, maxspacing, hsspacing, Color, tolerance, 'sgUpChars');"

for minspacing put 0, and for maxspacing I put 7, and for hsspacing i put 1

Are you making a font set for silabgarza?

Yes I am :P

[rj]

Yes I am :P

Ok, let me load up the server and see if my font from SS works and if it does I'll upload them here so you can use it (no use in making 60 chars eh?)

@azzamate Ok here you go this should return the uptext:

function sg_GetUpText(tol:Integer): String;
Var
  Colors:TIntegerArray;
  i:Integer;
begin
  // white, blue, yellow, orange, green
 // Colors := [16776960, 16777215, 65535, 4161758, 384517];
 // 20 tol is decent
  Colors := [13948116, 13750794, 645593, 4161758, 384517];
  for i:=0 to high(Colors) do
    Result := Result + GetTextAtExWrap(9, 9, 231, 18, 0, 8, 1, Colors[i], tol, 'SSUpChars');
end;

Extract SSUpchars to C:/Simba/fonts

Example test script:

{$I SRL/SRL.Simba}
function sg_GetUpText(tol:Integer): String;
Var
  Colors:TIntegerArray;
  i:Integer;
begin
  // white, blue, yellow, orange, green
 // Colors := [16776960, 16777215, 65535, 4161758, 384517];
 // 20 tol is decent
  Colors := [13948116, 13750794, 645593, 4161758, 384517];
  for i:=0 to high(Colors) do
    Result := Result + GetTextAtExWrap(9, 9, 231, 18, 0, 8, 1, Colors[i], tol, 'SSUpChars');
end;

begin
  ActivateClient;
  wait(1500);
  writeln(sg_getupText(25));
end.

Great guide it's been very helpful getting started, thank you very much

Where is the link to download your font by the way?

Edit: Nevermind I just downloaded it from your stall theiver, Whats your username on it maybe I can add you lol

[MrBotter22]

Just finished this beginner's tutorial and it was very insightful. Thank you very much! Will continue on to the Intermediate one.

It's probably just me but i'm having a hard time learning this.

I had too, had to read this like 3 times before I understand it So keep calm, take breaks. And stay motivated!

Why do I get this error while tryig the 3rd example in beginner's part ("putting it all together")?

Exception in Script: Duplicate declaration "Exp" at line 6, column 15

EDIT: It works when I change "Exp" variable to for example "Exps". But why Exp didn't work?

It looks like exp() has been added to the language since this was written.

I couldn't find it in the docs but I wrote a program and googled the results.

It's returning the 'exponential growth' of a number.

program new;
  var i : integer ;
    j : extended;
begin

for i := 1 to 10 do
  begin
    j := exp(i);
    writeln(j);
  end;
end.

Glad you caught this. It indeed wasn't built into Simba when I wrote the guide. I'll fix that right now.

[Aph0tix]

Is this updated for SRL 6?

[Coh3n]

Is this updated for SRL 6?

No, it is not; however, there aren't many SRL commands in the guide; it's mostly programming concepts. I will hopefully have time soon to go through and update it for Lape and SRL-6, but I'm not sure if/when that will be.

[grasshopper1494]

Great guide, will help me in the future!

Wicked. So no ETA on all of this?

Wicked. So no ETA on all of this?

I have no idea, sorry. I have a lot of real life stuff keeping me busy. I wouldn't expect it anytime soon, unfortunately.

[lollol012]

Huge thanks for this guide. I'd rep you twice if I could.
