Power Fisher - No Banking!
Deadline: 26th August 2007 12.00 Midnight GMT

New scripting competition! As always, I will be the judge of the competition. Anyone else who doesn't want to enter, and wants to help me judge, please post here

Anyone is welcome to join the competition, the rules are simple:

Rules

• You must work on your own
• However much you have completed must be handed in by the time limit. Even if you don't complete the script fully, you still have a (small) chance of winning :)
• You must use the SRL include
• You must make all of your own custom functions. You cannot take them from any other script even if you have permission. This means that the only procedures / functions you may use are the ones already in the SRL include, or ones that you make yourself
• No KYAB
• Once you have submitted a script, you cannot submit another one / edit your current one, so make sure you check it over thoroughly before submitting your entry

I may add / change the rules at any time, and i will warn you when i do. They won't be big changes though

Extra Rules!

This Scripting Competition comes with a twist! I have already defined what procedures and functions you are allowed to use! You Must use the names from the list below in your script. However, you can choose whether they are procedures or functions. You don't have to use all of them if you don't want to, however, you cannot add any extra ones in

• DeclarePlayers
• SetupScript
• PlayerStats and ProgressReport Procedures (As Many as you like)
• LoadDTMs / LoadBimaps / LoadDDTMs
• CheckEquipment
• Max 3 AutoColoring Procedures + as many other procedures which accompany them as you like
• FindFish
• Fish
• WaitWhilstFishing
• DropAllFish
• FindRandoms (+ As many custom Antirandoms as you can make)
• AntiBan (+ As much custom Antiban as you can make)
• As Many Form Procedures as you like
• + 3 Other Procedures of Your Choice!

This shall really separate the boys from the men ;)
What the procedure does must be relevant to the procedure name
Anyone who tries to cheat will be automatically eliminated! (I.E. Fishing under the allowed rule of infinite antirandom procedures!) I will be the judge of whether you cheat or not

Script will be judged on:
Technique, Individuality, Use of SRL, Efficiency, Presentation, Added Extras and Script run

Good Scripts will contain the following:

• Have good scripting standards
• Utilize multiplayer support well
• Follow all SRL rules: i.e break out of potential infinite loops etc.
• Use interesting and unique techniques in your script
• Interesting Antiban Techniques - Random pathings, random actions etc. Generally making it look like its an actual person controlling the character
• Create a good quality working script!

Prize
The prize will be respect and reputation of the community :) I will also be donating 2 mill GP to the winner if what they are looking for is RS money

Submitting your entry
Once you have finished your script, email or PM it to me so that others won't see your finished product until the end of the competition, and they can't steal your ideas! All scripts will then be posted up after the competition has ended.

Why should I enter?
Hopefully this will get you slightly motivated to create the best script you can, regardless of your standard. The more scripts you create the better you become: "Practice makes perfect". On top of that, when everyone has released their own versions of the script, you can compare yours to theirs and see what techniques they have used in their script: what works and what you can improve on. This will really help you improve your scripting skills.

As a bonus
I have also decided that I will be reviewing all entries and commenting on each script; what could be improved, and what I like. That way, everyone who enters can get (valuable? :p ) feedback and hopefully can improve their scripting skills :). If other devs want to help out, I would be appreciative of that.


Good luck to everyone; Let the games begin!

woah cool lol nice twist! though i dont think i want to enter. Itd be cool to judge but i dont know if you'd want me judging, but if u dont mind then i'd like to.

Anyone is welcome to help me judge. Just a paragraph about what you think about each script is all you need to do; I shall do the bulk of it :D

Woot second post, I will prolly enter this one :D

uuu yay a new competition so wat will i choose try out stars stress miner (got it today) or make this script ?

—————-> solution both! <———————————–


no really i might enter :P

Ok, I'm in.

nice twists by the way :)

I think I'll take a crack at it. Never tried any fishing scripts, though :P

I might enter this one.

Power fisher hmm havnt done this… i guess ill try it :)

It'd be my first fishing script…but I guess I may as well try

Well thats a kick in the teeth the limiting procedures. I can see it now, HUge procedures and main loops which really should be split up. meh ill throw something together.

This will be my first fishing script too :)

Haha, I think I'll make one specifically for the competition, and a different one for the public just because I really do not like humongous procedures :D lol

Quick question: If you have autocolor in one of your procedures does that count towards the three?

Another competition! Woot!!

All fish?

Waaa not a dev!

j/k j/k pyro :p

Haha, I'm so lazy, there is no way Ill be able to get this done :P

From: Ruroken
Waaa not a dev!

j/k j/k pyro :p

dont worry…
Pyro is harmless…. :p

Even though I have set the limiting procedures above, I know it is possible to do it. I simply looked at my fished script, took all of the procedure names from that and then added a few extras for a bit of leeway.

From: bobarkinator
Quick question: If you have autocolor in one of your procedures does that count towards the three?

One of the limitations state:

From: Extra Rules

Max 3 AutoColoring Procedures + any other procedures which accompany them

Means you can only have 3 autocolor procedures throughout the script. However the second part says you can have as many autocoloring supporting procedures as you want. I.E. convertcolorto, HSLtoRGB anything like that.

Pyro, I think I have given you more than enough procedures to play around with! I don't think you really need anymore procedures that that, so it won't really be a kick in the teeth

Ejjman1, thats up to you… *COUGH* Added Extras *COUGH* … Sorry, not feeling well :p

Infintry001, May as well have a crack at it. Even if you don't finish it, you'll still learn something, and it will be good experience

Ok a couple of questions - is there a spot where it has to fish at? As in, is there a mandatory place that has to be included? And for autocolouring, are we allowed to use Nielsie's auto colourer? I know theres no way to tell if we do, but just wondering - if we're not meant to use it then I wont.

nope, can fish absolutely anywhere

Auto color procedures have to be your own

As stated in the rules:

From: Rules

You must make all of your own custom functions. You cannot take them from any other script even if you have permission. This means that the only procedures / functions you may use are the ones already in the SRL include, or ones that you make yourself

So no, you can't use it I'm afraid

I'm gunna enter this one, missed out on the last one.

Stupid fishing.scar doesn't even compile without incuding like 3 extended includes, so I had wrote my own fishing equipment checker/pick-up.
Does this count as an antirandom? As there's a random with a big fish scattering your equipment all over the ground.

Yup, that counts as an antirandom; you can have as many custom antirandom procedures in your script as you can write.

make a rule so you cant make a dummy procedure/funct&#305;ons
procedure wa&#305;twh&#305;lstf&#305;sh&#305;ng;
beg&#305;n
wa&#305;t(1);
end;
so m&#305;n&#305;mum length to a funct&#305;on/procedure

SB, are those "Extra rules" all the procedure we can have? Or can we have those and then more?

why would anyone do that?

I've said you don't have to use all of the procedures from the list, however you can't add anymore in.

So its either all from that list, or some from that list. There are no other options :)

EDIT: Those are he only ones you can have. You may not use anymore

From: Starblaster100
nope, can fish absolutely anywhere

Auto color procedures have to be your own

As stated in the rules:



So no, you can't use it I'm afraid

I don't think he meant use the procedure but use it to pick colors and get the values of the color spaces.

Neilsie's ACA generated code to autocolor a specific item (I'm pretty sure it did)

He wrote a script, to generate a function to auto color.

You may not use that.

You can pick colors and get the value of spaces yourself surely?

i am so in
i have 20 days and i really like the limiting procedures bit
that is a really nice twist

;) good luck to you

Umm , the rules dont say anything about the loading procedures. Like "LoadColors" or something? I hope those are allowed lol..

From: Extra Rules

# SetupScript
# LoadDTMs / LoadBimaps / LoadDDTMs

I think they can go nicely in one of those

ok.

EDIT: OH NOES! RS GOT UPDATED! What if they move 1 pixel of every single thing? Then our cool scripts wont woooork :( :D

EDIT: PMG! The update was Cheat Channel!


EDIT EDIT EDIT: HOOOLYYY FUCKING SHIT!!! LOOK AT GAME TABS AND ALL!!! THEYRE KILLIN UUS!! HEEEEEEELPPP!!!

EDIT EDIT EDIT: HOOOLYYY FUCKING SHIT!!! LOOK AT GAME TABS AND ALL!!! THEYRE KILLIN UUS!! HEEEEEEELPPP!!!

Calm down .. I might enter because I finally have time to do some scripting too :) But not sure yet.

&#305; guess form funct&#305;ons/procedures are not allowed to do anyth&#305;ng &#305;ngame?

Don't worry, I'm sure SRL will have an update out soon.

This will really put you all to the test lol. Design the script without being able to test it until SRL bring out the new update :p

No, form procedures cannot do anything in game. That would be considered cheating :p

n3ss33ss3s4333333333ssss10 i already fixed gametabs lol. its probably the easiest thing to fix out of all of the updates, just check the ingame changes section.

This will really put you all to the test lol. Design the script without being able to test it until SRL bring out the new update

Buahahhaahaa they didnt change my lil fishing eq colors :)
Actually it didnt affect my script at all lol..

Is helping accepted? I mean, in last competition I think I remember you said that people can ask help from you and all other devs are willing to help too…
So, is it same thing here too?

Wow, an even bigger challenge :D

This will be fun. I never even test my script till it is completely finished anyways.

I always test my stuff when I wrote it, not the whole script, but the individual procedures.

From: n3ss3s

The only person you can ask for help from is from me. That way, i can decide whether I can answer what you are asking or not. I think that keeps it all fair

Markus - Time to adapt buddy :p Challenges come our way every day in our life, and we have to work to beat them :D

I can still test the important stuff :D
Now testing my whirlpool detection at a bunch of bitmaps im MS Paint, works good ;)
Oh, and someone knows an easy way how I can convert like 30 dtms to strings? Too lazy to do it manually.

Bribe all your friends? :p

This is goin to be really hard .. since i need to use ALOT more procedures in my script than you have listed. In the next one.. a rule that states: Max 25 Procedures/Functions but you can choose what they are, Just a suggestion.

Na, thats too much work, then I to teach them how to download scar :(
*Markus dreams of a mass dtm to string program*

OH EDIT we cant test our scripts :) Runescape had a HUGE update with tabs etc.

see for your self

bit late mate http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14804

We already know :p

And the point of it is to be hard. Only the best will be able to successfully complete their SRL Scripting Pilgrimage :p

I tried making that, but i cant get it to find the fishing spot…:(

:) Im glad I dont need help anymore.
I first got really pissed at my code with the variable expected error and then I opened my eyes when I had drinked enough coke and saw "if(TimeFromMark(ProcMark > blablabla))then"

Count me in! I may add some interesting twists to my version…

Do you rules mean no FindFastRandoms???

id like to do it but i already busy with two other projects although depending on how long it takes i might be able to put something together

Can't we have a function for changing fishing spots?

Thy shall pheer my wrath of randomness

I shall find answer in all that is holy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkMatter

From: ~alex~
Can't we have a function for changing fishing spots?

If you wanted that, it would come under the 3 extras I would think.

Another question - say I have LoadDTMs, can i have LoadBitmaps as well? Or should I put them all under the same procedure? And also, i'm assuming that the procedures/functions from the list have to have code which has some relevance to the name of the procedure/function? I mean, not some extra function instead of FindFish, which doesnt actually find the fish but does something completely different.

and BTW the Fishing.scar doesnt even compile, so would you or someone else be able to update that star? I could do it, but it would be better if a dev did it so its official and everything. cause I dont want the functions in there to come out of my extra 3.

Does it have to fish ALL of the fish at a certain spot, or can we make it just for flyfishing etc?

From: JuKKa

Really? I thought it would be hard too. But most of the stuff you basically need is already provided a space for. The 3 extra are just for fancy stuff.

I got some good ideas :D

From: ronny.m.p

findfastrandoms was written by wt and isn't in the srl include so that means we aren't allowed to use it

EDIT: Do we really need the antiban, I never use that in my scripts and still haven't been banned in 11 months.

Correct. Make something similar on your own

You can have separate procedures for Loading Bitmaps and DTMs if you want. Yes they do have to have relevance to their name, otherwise that would be considered cheating as i have put under the extra rules section.

Fishing.scar only contains Fishing antirandoms and bitmap loading as far as i am aware. As i have stated in the extra rules, you can have as many antirandom procedures as you like in your script; there is no limit on them

Completely up to you

Great to hear. There is nothing in the rules which states you definitely need antiban. Thats up to you

rofl haha

Another question - are we allowed to use functions such as FindFishingEquipmentColor (made by dankness and wizzup) which are in fishing.scar in our script without it counting towards our total procedures? Cause fishing.scar doesnt compile, so the only way to get it is to include it manually, without updating fishing.scar that is

Also I have a suggestion. Lower this winners prize and instead have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. This will probably motivate people to join more as they have a better chance of winning something.

FindFishingEquipmentColor is a part of antirandoms, and as I have stated before, you are allowed as many antirandoms in your script as you want without it adding to your extra 3 procedures.

~alex~ - Its not about winning, its about talking part :p. And if it is about winning, then only first place matters :p. Naw, kidding lol. Basically people enter so they can gain feedback on their scripts and compare their methods to everyone elses. The money is just an added bonus

Yeah, honestly I couldnt care less about the 2m prize. getting the in-depth feedback is worth more imo

and thanks for answering all my questions star :)

No problem kiddo, good luck

I go on vacation soon, but i might try to make something fun ;)
maybe i'm in

Edit: but first wait until srl is update'd :(

Im in too… Its already 500 lines :p :)

Hmph, I'll try to get something nice together.

I'll donate to the no. 2 and 3.

Well Lets see if I can do this ^.^ I've been working on some cool fishing proc's so I can probably adapt to your limited procedures / functions rule.
BRING IT ON!!!!!

YOUR GOING DOWN!!!!! :D Jk/Jk

Mwuahahaha, full talker and responder bitches..

Mines a PHILOSOPHER! mwuahahaha

O im loving this :D

And thanks Wizzup, much appreciated :)

I want Wizzup? to Join :(…

Maybe next time.. :)

I think I may enter this one.

That twist is nasty! But in a good way :p

Wizzup? just doesn't want to get beaten :D… j/k I've never finished making a fisher before so this will be quite interesting.

I want to see what all these new scripters can do!

Well im out. My computer ie fudged. Gotta get it running before i can do anythign first.

Damn, I was looking forward to seeing how my script would stack up agaisnt a dev's. Cause if nielsie doesnt get back soon, and tara hasnt shown any interest as far as I know, it looks like there wont be a dev in it :(

From: n3ss3s
33t j00r script ph00r breakfast :D

Seriously, what is happening to you :p More and more l33t speak every day :eek:

I might try to make something.. I just don't really like making antiban stuff (IMO not necessary) and I assume that if there's no (or just little) antiban that would be a -?

Seriously, what is happening to you More and more l33t speak every day

I donno it just happens lol :D lol propably gonna get some secondary rank "SRL Leetspeaker" lol

There is no section called "antiban" on what i mark you on, so you can skip it out if you want i suppose.

Remember though, you have the option for infinite amounts of antiban procedures and a quick boredHuman, or IdleMouse wouldn't be that bad would it? Remember when you are fishing you have long periods of time where you have to wait!

Ill give it a go..

Yay i'm up to 535 lines :).. with 400 lines of form…

By the way, starblasta I hope it doesnt matter what SCAR vers using?
Because my script is 3.06 and SRL 3.8, but when SRL gets fixed Ill get newest SRL.

no, doesn't matter

ok good :)

Can we put in procedures which serve no reason but to look good, such as something to make scar go transparent when you start the script, or does it count to the 3 custom procedures?

Sorry, you can't.

Can't that be done witha few lines of code anyways in something like SetupScript?

Yeah thats fine

Ooo, how do you do that Dan?

would ed&#305;t&#305;ng a scar procedure funct&#305;on count as 1 of the 3 funct&#305;ons you are allowed to make? so &#305;f &#305; would make a f&#305;ndobj wh&#305;ch works for a b&#305;tmap of the cl&#305;ent would &#305; be los&#305;ng one of my funct&#305;ons?

Just to let you all know, I have fixed Fishing.scar, so when the new SRL is out I'll make sure it works ok then I'll post it here for everyone to use :) I've spoken to star and he said thats fine.

Also, do the three autocoloring functions/procedures count towards your 3 customs?

ilove8 - yes it counts as one.

The Claw - No, the 3 autocolouring procedures are separate from your 3 custom ones.

ow nvm then hehe can &#305; st&#305;ll talk to you on msn?

My script even doesnt need the fishing.scar :)
Bwuahahahhahaaa!

Sure you can, add me and tell me who you are when you talk to me.
However I'm at work right now and i can't get on MSN, so you'll have to wait until tonight, or communicate via PM :)

This sucks I can't really test mine because of the RS update.

Buahahahaa, the weird thing is that the update didnt affect my script, or testing it at all!!!

From: n3ss3s
Buahahahaa, the weird thing is that the update didnt affect my script, or testing it at all!!!

no fair :(

Most or all of the changes that needed to be made to the SRL were posted in Ingame Updates. I'm only having trouble thinking of additional things to put into the script. A PowerFisher is pretty generic.

Yeah, I have no idea neither for the extras..

I can think of some…

To bad i cant join… leave my current vaction please and move to a pleace where i cant got a computere…. :( . i will be in next time again :d

i dont know if its oke so ill ask it:
Is it oke when i PM lordsaturn the fixes (my srl) from the last update. because imo its not fair that the members can test there scripts because they have the fixs and the non-members cant.

Mines involves a lot of Random()

I withdraw. Things get complicated.

From: ronnymp

Definitely, i think thats very kind of you

Star, can I ask a noob question as I never fish?
Do you fish faster if you have a higher fishing lv?

I have no idea, i dont play RS

From: markus
Star, can I ask a noob question as I never fish?
Do you fish faster if you have a higher fishing lv?

yes it is but only slightly

Tnx Hugo.
Oh and thanks star for a powerfisher, it's the perfect excuse to train some other skill then mining at my main :p

np and get your ass online i found something out about you know what.

:) When I my script is ready, even there wasnt a competition I'll propably use to get fishing 50+

Hey star, any chance of an extension on this script? Seeing as Fawki posted that SRL most likely wont be out until next week, or at the earliest this weekend, it sort of messes up the comp, cause we wont have as long a time on testing. I mean, my coding is pretty much done, and I'm into the testing stages now, except I cant.

work on ant&#305; ban or maybe forms….

Well do as much theoretical coding as you can and then test when SRL comes out. If you have done it right, you may only have to change a few things ;)

If it gets bad however, i will extend the deadline. However there are no plans to do so as of now.

no banking uh? what about selling? ;)

Almost finished, just perfecting the fishing stuff.

From: the scar noob
no banking uh? what about selling? ;)

Any extras will lead to extra points. Now stop giving people ideas :p

egad!

There is no hope! We will all be randomly destroyed! :p

Hey! I'm just learning to script.

Is it okay if I enter as a learning experience? I just wish to learn out of this and I don't expect to win.

Anyone can enter :)

Wait if this competition is strictly to make a power fisher… wouldn't banking, selling, ect make you lose points? Because then your not fulfilling the first goal of making a power fisher…

Lol. i havnt got much done, i might not join the competion now.. will have to see :).

I'm thinking of joining members once I get some good scripts out there. Any advice?

can u use the winners script and im stuck lol i dont think ill carry on cant find the best way to get the fishing spot + i need failsafes for it :/

Don't give up at the first hurdle!
If you can't do it now, take a break, come back to it and have another crack at it.
If you can't do it one way, there are always several other techniques you could use ;)

hmmm ok thanks star

I'm doing pretty good but I can't test because of the update. I'm just haveing some problems with waitwhilestfishing because i'm not sure how I should tell if the charector is fishing. Could anyone point me to a tutorial for stuff like my problem?

[off topic] You guy's have a lot of great tutorials! It's easy to learn to script around here!

I don't really think there is a tutorial for this, you'll have to use your own imagination to solve this problem ;) I can think of a few ways to get around this problem though :) so it is possible.

Great to hear you are learning :D Thats what SRL is all about

Ya, hopefully one day I can be one of the "big dogs" like you guys.

Does everyone's script get judged or just like the top 10?

I will be commenting on every single script which is entered into the competition

Okay, that's great!

I thought about my problem and came up with a few ideas. However, every idea I have wouldn't work if I get a random during fishing…do you think you could give me a clue as to how to solve this? I don't want an answer because I enjoy tackling these tasks but maybe just a PM with a clue…?

I'm sorry, I can't give out hints lol. But you're a clever guy, i'm pretty sure you'll at least get the theory of how to solve this problem right, if not the whole thing

The problem is when you get a random, let's say old man with box, and you solve the box you will still be in the same spot as before. However, you will not be fishing.

EDIT:

You're right. I just figured it out :p.

When you test how well the script runs, how long do you run it?

Until it bugs up, or for about 1/2 hour

Lol. i havnt got much done, i might not join the competion now.. will have to see :).

[Offtopic] SRL Dev? When!? [/Offtopic]

Theres a thread in the SRL Member News.


EDIT: OMG I invented soo cool antilagg way of checkin randoms :stirthepot:

Grr i changed my mind, Im gonna be in :D
Edit:
Lol i finnished my script. Now i just gotta wait for SRL to update :)


btw i have a question:
im i allowed to use a DTM created by someone else which i have taken from a OLD version of SRL that does not exists anymore?

Lol probably not :p

I think so too..

Just make your own DTM. It isn't that hard. Hell, make it a DDTM :p

HELL Its a Whirlpool dtm and i dont feel like fishing and camping by a fishing spot -.-
Oh i dont feel like playing rs eighter :(

I just made an amazing form. I honestly love the tutorials here!

I'll allow the Whirlpool DTM, thats OK

OK, TY! Shall i post it here so everyone can use it or?

Edit:

oH and im i allowed to take functions/procedures from SRL and edit them and place into my script? Or do they go as the last rule: "+3 other functions"?

So I was doing some research to maximize the power of my anti randoms and someone told me to use FindFastRandoms with FindNormalRandoms and FindTalk.

Is it allowed to use FindFastRandoms seince it isn't in SRL?

Also, is it bad standers to write your functions that don't have any parameters like this : SetupSRL(); because I am used to other languages.

Jukka, they would go into the 3 extra procedures.

FindFastRandoms is not implimented in SRL and has been created by Fakawi, you are not allowed to use that.

No it is not bad standards. If no parameters are present, leave out the ()

Okay so SetupSRL; not SetupSRL();?

Also, when I was helping someone, someone else called me a "mob". What does that mean? Sorry if it is a noob question. Is it like a "noob" or a "leecher"?

It's a person.

Hey, instead of making new random procedures, can I just take the FindNormalRandoms and edit it? Would that be against the rules or no?

lordsaturn,
I was thinking the same thing as you. However, I got a better idea and now I think my randoms are fool proof.

Fishing.scar is extremely outdated…is it neccesary that we use it?

Would you be able to post the DTM please?

Well fishing.scar only needs two things in it and it will work, *ehem* .include somethings that it tells you :D and no I don't think its necessary to use it but it is kinda helpful for something.

HELL Its a Whirlpool dtm and i dont feel like fishing and camping by a fishing spot -.-
Oh i dont feel like playing rs eighter

Lol, I tell ya how I get whirlpools, sandwich ladies, riva trolls, all shit, just test your script in like 3 min parts and the randoms start to come…

I got whirlpool, took a pic from it to paint :wink: where I could then pick colors.

How do you use DTMs to detect movin whirlpool, angle might be different, everything…

I suggest you guys relook through the SRL folders…there's an exact equivalent to FindFastRandoms in there somewhere…but I'm not telling…muahahahaha!

lol everyone can make their own findfastrandoms -.-

Tsk, tsk, i finished my script now i just gotta wait for SRL :(

Something is happening to my mozilla, everytime I play rs with mozilla, it takes always 50 or more CPU :( And I tried with KYAB, SwiftBitch and then, everything was fine until I ran the script which made "SCAR 100" :D And that sucked.

just realized that I cant write fishing scripts :p

Ah well, I'll wup y'all next time ;)

Rofl, i am not very good at them either, but ill give it a go anyway =P

Is it absolutely neccesary that we have a procedure 'LoadDDTMs'?

Nope, you can have either or all of LoadBMPs, LoadDTMs and LoadDDTMs star said :)

Or none ;)…But that would be stupid :D

Say that we dont use Fishing.scar at all, would we get marked down for "use of SRL"? Because the bitmaps are all outdated, and the functions in there barely work at all, so I've written my own ones for everything. I figure its better to have a working script with my own functions that a non working one lol.

Fishing.scar is outdated, you are correct, whereas Smithing.scar wasn't.

I'll be looking for different things this time for Use of SRL.

Prehaps with the update you devs can fix fishing.scar up??? :p

I got DTMs for everything if you devs ever need it. =]

What we need is a new FishingSpot DTM and a new WhirlPool DTM.

Is there a part in the fishing spot that never changes? So you can use DTMs?

My eyes just cant detect the part… Instead I found the constant color (well, constant with small tol :p)

Im using a dtm, works very well.

Did you make the DTM?

I'm geussing that it would be a DDTM, so that the subpoints colour can change if it doesnt find the spot, or the tol can increase or whatever. But meh I'll stop giving you all ideas :p Personally I'm using colours. Btw if anyones interested I ran my script overnight last night, and got a nice proggy. (psyche psyche ;))

You psyched shit to my pants! :p Jk/Jk

Im still having problem with testing, I just lagg… Might be in my equipment checking… Well, in theory the script works good :p

Could I submit my script that is compatible with SRL 3? Or would I have to make it compatible with SRL 4?

I will accept any script with is compatible with any version of SRL

From: Starblaster100
I will accept any script with is compatible with any version of SRL

YES! Thank you so much SB! Because I used many many functions from the extended folder of SRL, and I didn't want to have to redo my whole script. =DD

Lucky one then…

I got a question about the deadline.
Is the deadline tonight or can we still work on it tomorow.

Its 25. here in Finland?

Im still in trouble with the testing =(( I just cant find out what laggs, the script, in theory works =( Which does not help a lot.

Anyways, I hopefully get >50 points from the other 6 checkpoints, so then if I get -100 from the RunTime or whatever it is, I still have few points :D

Im propably ending up to the 8th if I cant get to testing…

maybe somthing with freebitmap just said it you never know ;)

Noes, I have FreeDTMs and FreeBitmaps where they are needed, I think…

And anyways, Im concentrating to my SecurityGobliner, now it works so good I wanna continue advancing it to the top.

Just sent mine off then :)

Mine is almost finished, but can't finish/send it today as I'm not at home right now, and I probably stay away until tomorow :(

I havn't touched mine in 2 weeks. :p

For me at least, today is the 25th, 2:15 PM (GMT - 4/5). So then I have 30 hours and 45 minutes until the deadline? Or am I a day off?

Deadline: 26th August 2007 12.00 Midnight GMT

As of right now (check the time i have posted this post) you have remaining:

1 day 3 hours 57 minutes

you can submit it anytime before then, i've had scripts submitted a week beforehand before

Go The Claw!
I Hope He Wins!

he is going to pwnzaroo my untested piece of theory shit =(
Well, im going to try it again… if Id find out wuts prob..

Ugh, I'm too lazy to finish my form. /trash

I havn't tested mine either :p . I'll hopefully add in some antiban and such tomarrow and then send it off. I think I covered everything.

Lol, I gotta ask star that if my script is once again going to the last place, I dont wanna put it out, to avoid the public humiliation, but if its even the second last then I will…

I don't think it really matters. You've created a script in such short time, and it's not easy creating these scripts. Plus they go through extensive analysis, so everyone knows even if you do come last, you still put in a lot of effort and make a great script.

The idea is for you to become better. By posting your script, not only you will be able to learn from some of your mistakes, but everyone else who views them as well.

So think of it like this: Whatever position you come in, you are contributing a great amount to the SRL community, and helping everyone learn :)

IMO, I think thats the best thing anyone can do for this community

heh thanks lol.

My first script…I expect to come in last. :p

Yea I can't wait to see the results, I'm just putting some finishing touches on my script before I send it in. Honestly I'm kinda nervous I haven't made a "Script" in a long time. Its going to be surprising to see what place I come in.

If I were you, I'd start by updating your "Location" from 2.03 to Divi 3.11 ;)

Lol i guess im a little late, Havent even tested yet. I guess i wont sign up.

I think Ill just go and send mine off..

Even Ill propably end up the last place lol… Always when I enter the competition I have a stupid obstacle :mad:

And what might this 'obstacle' be?

Edit: We all hate lag. Perhaps, you have a responder?

so who is entering for sure?

I entered.

And what might this 'obstacle' be?

Edit: We all hate lag. Perhaps, you have a responder?

Last time, I first started to make a guard fighter because I didnt read it had to be a smelter. Then I made it a chicken ranger. Then, when I had 2 hours before going to summer cottage SB pmed me that it has to be fally smelter lol

And now, Im getting horrible lagg, I have no idea why, even if I would fully clear the loop of shit it still laggs?!

Add a few waits to the loop, they don't have to be big, but wait(1); can fix all lag you got :)

Gosh I know my waits, its full of lil "Wait(20)" and even if I remove everything from the loop except wait(100) it still lags! I have no idea lol… Anyways I've sent it already..

Maybe you didn't free a bitmap?

I know my bitmaps -.- I did.

Hey, I like living in 2.03 its nice here :D Maybe if I get in the top 3 I'll move lol.
Yea… I'm going to turn mine in literally last minute, lol. Just gotta make sure I didn't miss anything stupid. I got 6 hours left!

God… its like applying for SRL Members all over AGAIN!!!!

Haha ye..

Hey good joob getting MSI Leader status? Itd be nice if all MSI developers would get "/MSI (attribute here) Developer" for example:

SRL Member / MSI AntiBan Developer.

Alright. . . I sent mine in. I know I forgot something, or maybe I just always have this feeling.

Ok, in the last ten minutes I added some antirandoms, wrote the mainloop, added a progressreport and added multiplayer -.-
I wonder if it even works :)

Lawl, I already found something I did wrong after I sent it in. NumberOfBooleans should have been HowManyBooleans. WIN.

Ehh… MSI is kind of going to the dumps because no one is working on it. Although after September / During September that will all change lol. :D

*For non-SRL Members: Don't pay attention…. you won't understand*

Wow, well i sign on and i have 7 new PMs :) nice.

SRL Scripting Competition entrants closed as of 14 minutes ago :rolleyes:

Good Luck to everyone!

Just wondering, who are the judges? I know you are but did anyone else volunteer to judge?

My script was so ridiculously sloppy….I ran out of time. =P

You submitted it, right? Good job. At least you finished :p

so far, just me as the judge

oo cant wait to see who wins

Same :) Any idea of when the judging will be done star?

I hope soon, I cant wait for the results :p

sorry i didn't submit mine guys, srl4 won't compile for me and i got really frustrated
good luck to everyone

mmm i don't have any set time limit, last time it took me a total of 8 hours, spread across 4 days (2 - 3 weeks i think). I'll try and get it done faster this time however.

ok no worries, theres no hurry :)

Can next competition be making autofighter without any limits?

Or maybe a competition where SRL Staff, devs and so on cant apply, only members which includes Registered Users, Community Members, SRL Members, And You-Know-What-Im-Talking-About: s could apply?

Yeah, i entered a script too, but it was so poorly made i expect it to get dq'd, but hopefully i can still get some advice :D

We already have many fighters.
What is YouKnowWhatImTalkingAbout?

I cant talk about it. You-Know-What-Im-Talking-About.

EDIT: oh, and the fighter was just an example, but a competition like that anyways…

lol wow you didn't have to say it because nobody will really even know the difference. Now you probably just brought up the curiosity of like 200 non-members.

Lol. And what's the competition if you just increase your chances by cutting out all the "better " people, such as devs. The whole point is to make the script as good as it can be and by adding good scripters, it only makes it harder.

Everyone knows none of the devs can script anyway >.>

*Looks back and forth frantically*

Haha.

Well the point of this is to improve your scripting abilities so that one day, you yourself may be able to become a dev

Results will be posted soon

Lol, you put it in a way it looks like youre saying im best srl member scripter? hell no lol..

Results are here!
