Calm down, i dont want to get into anything agressive:) i was thinking perfectly clearly when I was typing, please do not accuse me of not doing. I have already made one script and am nearly finished my second, should that please you. At most scripting is a '2 day thing', I learned in a matter of hours, as I am sure most other people did. Infact updating is easier than scripting- just keep trying to compile and fix the errors is a basic general rule, though you may find that you have to change a couple of other things in order to maintain the scripts functionality- there are several threads on this to help :D Also learning to script is made easier by the help you will receive should you need it, by posting in the help sections.
edit- learning to make an alkahrid steel smelter is definitely a '1 day thing' :D
I totally disagree. If you have no programming experience whatsoever, it'll take a few days to get the basics down. THEN move on to mini scripts, w/o the include, math scripts, auto talkers, simple rs scripts w/ include and etc. Then Runescape scripts. I would say around 2 weeks and that is if you dedicate some of your time (1 - 3 hours) a day. Idk, if your a maniac that has no friends, and codeRferLiFEzzdream then that's different, obviously.
Hmm, just 2 weeks ago, there were like 3 awesome ones from the SRL scripting competition. :/ I don't know if they are compatible with SRL 4 though.
