Few small questions

Hiya, got a few small questions. Not sure where to put them. I'm sure I could find them all with some google but you guys could sure help me out :)

OSRS: Is membership still required for access?
What is the state of SRL / how was it formed? SRL-6 fork or just grabbed an old rev from the SVN? Entire rewrite? What's the scripting environment?
Are random events in there? If so, which ones? Just talking or also Mordaut, Molly, Evil Bob, Prison & Pious Pete, Maze, Abyss, Drill Demon, Frog, Mime, Sandwhich, Box, Gravedigger? <– just the few I can think off

RS3: Any significant updates to SRL-6 or RS since september '14?

Also I take it reflection doesn't work in any of them, does it?

That's all! Thanks in advance

You still needs mems for OSRS (though during December you didn't), SRL6 developement started in like 2012 or 2011 (released in 2013) IDK but actually a while back (I'm assuming SVN you are referring to tortoiseSVN which I think SRL used a while ago I remember having to go to that site to install something forgot what)

All the random have been removed, and reflection works on OSRS

SRL-6 was in development for about 3 years before the first beta was released in mid 2013. Although, I'd say 90% of the dev work for SRL-6 took place after RS3 was announced, as it had to be reworked to suit the new interfaces/graphics (so from early 2013 onward). It was basically an entire rewrite because:

  • SRL was converted to lape
  • Dynamic interfaces
  • All colours changed when switching from safemode
  • SRL-5 was really cluttered and messy

IDK if you can see these threads

There are no randoms in RS3, and haven't been for more than a year? SRL-6 is still maintained, although I can't think if any major changes since sept. I'd say the include is largely 'complete' whith just minor updates and maintenance.

Then there is OSR (old school runescape), which isn't compatable with SRL-6. This uses the SRL-OSR include, which isn't really maintained (it's based on SRL-5 and written in PS).

Flight also made another OSR include AeroLib, which a number of scripts on the forums use. This is written in lape.

Reflection works on OSR (see reflection include). A new reflection include is being developed by elfyyy and akarigar that is written in lape, and much more easily maintained. Currently there is no reflection for RS3 (another story) but I know some progress has been made recently.
