Like wizzup, I have never used the stepping tools. Probably out of lack of necessity I never did even bother to learn what they were for or how to use them.
The report window is also, useful, but not essential. Not a big deal really
Yes throwing away features is an overstatement.
However, I'd like to make the information in this thread accurate.
Both SCAR and simba can run multiple scripts fine.
Both SCAR and simba can use multiple clients simultaneously, please elaborate what you mean by swapping context.
What does freezing the runescape into memory mean? and what is it useful for?
SCAR can also directly access the memory in SMART, can it not?
Cross plat form is great, once its done. But things like WINE have exists for some time.
SCAR also has a function list
SCAR's plugin system works differently, but more reliably. And is much more linear due to its nature. I fail to see a real advantage either way.
Extension support is a very useful unique thing about simba, however, all it accomplishes currently is user friendless for script users. It does not add functionality or advantages. I do think this is a very cool thing and hopefully SCAR will have extensions in the near future.
Compilation speed is only 50% faster in simba than SCAR 3.25 beta and really has no purpose or advantage. SCAR luna has x2 compilation speed of simba and SCAR 4 is to me more than that, but none of that really even matters?
SCAR's OCR is maybe about 5% slower, but it much more reliable from personal experience. Simba is actually missing a few OCR/text functions like IsTextInArea that have caused things like GetXP to malfunction.
Settings support is something both SCAR and simba have a lot of, older SCAR's have the most, SCAR 3.25 beta doesn't have as many as older SCAR's but just as much as simba for sure.
Simba has 1 single more DTM rotated function which really serves no purpose because its start to end angle, dtm alternating is the important one which both have, a function that simba didn't have initially.
Documentation is useful for developers, but isn't exactly an advantage.
Both SCAR and simba have active development, contrary to belief Freddy is a pretty active guy that gets a lot done on his own and does a really good job by the time he finishes a project. Open source isn't something that SCAR has, but that doesn't make the program itself run any better or worse, its just a different means of a program supporting itself.
SCAR, especially, newer SCARs do not give random access violations, nor does it crash randomly. If anything the latest simba and SCAR compared to eachother, SCAR is much more stable. I could elaborate on this but the fact of the matter is simba is still a growing product that has a lot of growing problems that still need to be worked out, I don't see any point in denying this.
Unfortunately, this thread is far from the first request.
I use SCAR and simba on a daily basis and often compare many aspects of them. Many of the people that criticize SCAR are almost always unknowing of the current state it is in which leads to inaccurate assumed misinformation.
But don't be confused, I really did wish we had a perfect program, whether what it be called. But there isn't one at the moment.
Simba is great, and I hope it succeeds, but more than often people inaccurately compare it to SCAR or make statements that are true or only give you one side of the story, in short, there are slight exaggerations to say the least.
If you want to ditch simba, I don't see why you need to make a thread about, just do it. No one is forcing you to do anything. I encourage everyone to look into the reality of the situation and get their own perception of it. That means knowing both sides of the story well.
