SRL Archive - News and General

Well, SRL, what can I start with. Let me take this opportunity to tell you that I am not leaving today. I don't have an exact date, but I know it will be soon.

I know this saddens some of you, and it is actually my hope that it does, not because I want you to feel bad but because it shows me that I amounted to something in this community. The real world is a huge place where it is hard to show your abilities, that is one of the reasons I have liked it here.

Here is how I came about my decision. I was in my bed last night, and I had stayed late all weekend with my friend, so I could not go to sleep. I found myself thinking of different things of scripting, and I looked at my place here very thoroughly. To tell you the truth, this community is addicting. I was not addicted in the way the way you may think, such as 8 hours straight on here, I was addicted in the way that I must get on here at least once a day, even if it was to sit here and do nothing, searching the forums. It was hard to admit this addiction, but I took a step back and saw it clear as day.

I simply looked at what my brother would see. He sees me everyday, here on the computer, at least once. On saturdays when I have nothing to do, I can stay on here for hours at a time and loose track of time. Anyways, the whole story in short is that me and my brother are very close, even though he is three years younger than me. I mean very close. He had no idea why someone would do that, and I used to say it was just because I loved the idea of creating something that was all yours, that satisfaction. But as I have been here, I have been maturing alot. You may have seen the difference in my attitude when I left in january of this year, then came back in around june.

Anyways, I will not be on SRL-Forums until Friday(today is Monday for me). I want to test this addiction. However, I do not just want to leave this community! I want to finish the work I have put into it. Here is a list of some of the people I have started projects with. The list only concerns things that are members and up, else I would have a list about 40 items long ;):

• Boreas - Items(you know what I mean)
• Macrosoft - Get that cooking script done ;)
• Rudeboialex - sorry about helping you w/ miner, I will talk to you on msn
• The scar noob - Helping you in various ways
• Santa Clause - ColorSpaces
• Special Ed - Helping you reformat MSI :D. Good luck, I think I will talk about it on MSN some more…
• Probably more…

I tell you these because I want you to PM me about them while I'm gone this week so I will know what to finish up…

One of my regrets here was never getting the masters cup. I won't deny I had goals, as all of you. Even though I didn't get it, I'm glad I learned SCAR. It taught me alot about programming. There isn't one thing I don't know I'm pretty sure. I have been here awhile… and when I find something I like, I work at it. Now granted, I couldn't make things that were *Perfect*, but that is what SRL is about - changing players if something goes wrong because nothing can be perfect. I do, however, believe I know everything there is in SCAR. (Ask anyone I have helped :D, you can't give me a question I can't answer or a function I can't make.). I have tried to make as many tutorials as I can on these, thus the tutorial writers cup. If you look through the tuts section, I pretty much have a tut on everything.

Now, to leave you, I have one more thing to say. I really care, not cared, but care as in still do, about this community. Some of you may not have known this, possibly a few, but I spent 99% of my time on msn helping new members. On a normal day I would help around 5 people at once until I got off. This is what it will take if you ever want to improve the quality of scripts you see. Please continue to teach the new members on msn.

Thats all I have to say I think, I won't say any names yet because I haven't fully left yet. If you read the whole thing, I applaud you, thank you for taking some time. I may check later today. If I talk to you today, when I leave, or your just see my last post, until next time :).

To whom it concerns,
pwnaz0r

Deep.

I don't think you're addicted, just go look at n3ss3s over there…


What about a leaving argument eh?


P.S.: Oh yeah, almost forgot: First Post!!one!!exclamation!!@#eleven!

Well, maybe over the weekend man. :D :p

I figure I should post a picture when I leave, since I didn't on my millennium…

Hey man, its sad to see you "Go" I know its addicting, and although most addictions are bad. If you just give it some time to tell yourself that you do not need to spend every waking (and sleeping) moment thinking about SRL, or being on it, then I think the occasional visit or an occasional script or tut about something wouldn't be bad for you.

If anyone could understand my philisophy in life they could probably understand everything I say, but seeing as they can't I'll try to give you something I'd like to hear if I were to post something like this.

I hope you do well in whatever you do and I hope your choices are made for the right reason, and that they will not come to haunt you.

I'm sure I will miss you along with lots of other, but I do hope to see you around sometimes.

- Special Ed

Like i said, the addiction is not because this is time consuming so much, so It's not really like an addiction, per say. Its kinda like a dependancy, I feel I should be on here helping the community out whenever I can. That is better words to describe it I guess.

Aww… :( You are one of my bestest friends :(

oh, no…..

although i understand.. ;)

so.. all i can say is, Good Luck!

~Sky

pwnaz0r… remember i was up with you all those hours.


if you call that addicting then im an addict aswell :p


Its just i havent anything else better to do in my free time :p

owell :p


u still get on msn? xbl?


I wanted to leave like a year ago knowing this… but i couldn't :p


go out with a boom pwnaz0r :p ( u know what i mean :p )

I in the end would get my account deled so i would force myself never to come back :p :garfield:


sorry to see you go man :p

Aww… :( You are one of my bestest friends :(

Hah, thanks man. Good times on msn eh? we did talk a whole :p. Anyways, I made a few scripts for you too. Keep yourself out of trouble w/ the stats (you know what I mean) XD.


EDIT: Hah yes, all the night scripters :D. I remember all those hours man. Of course I will be on xbox live, so yeah I will still talk to you some. :D I will go out with a bang I think, although I don't want my account deleted. I think I will still drop in some, just not as often and probably not script, maybe just help some people.

for at least i know you should have gotten helper bear… AT LEAST!

Well, I think you'll sorely be missed. Thanks for giving me ideas on msn, and chatting to me. We've had some great times.

Good luck in the future, and stay in contact please.

:(

Thanks, that means alot man. Well I'm going now, I will prolly be back to check on this thread later today. Then until friday.

EDIT: sorry sp0rk didnt see your message.

One of the best scripters i knew :(

well atleast your not leaving yet but sad when you do i really dont want you to leave for 2 reasons

1) great srl member and scripter
2) great teacher for me

thanks :D. I have learned many things about people just from this thread. Anyways, I might check in later today, I have been on about an hour, which is more than I expected to spend.

Good luck Pwn, but you forgot me =[. Lol. Hope you do well though!

what did i forget?

wow…i feel the exact same way. but i wont be able to tear myself away…yet. sad to see you go when you do go.

I don't know exactly how my activity will turn out. I feel I have been here awhile though. anyways I forgot, FOR ALL YOU MEMBERS OUT THERE THAT WANT ME TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING OR THAT I WAS HELPING YOU WITH YOUR SCRIPT, PLEASE PM ME WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN SO I CAN PLAN TO TEACH YOU

*Pulls out shotgun and forces you to stay*

Not fun having you go, although I can understand an addiction. Hopefully we still talk on MSN occasionally.

Yeah definitely man

*hits him hard*
*doc says he has amnesia!*
*yay he forgot he was going to leave! everyone quick del this thread* XD



Well as long as i can contact you i will be happy :p

I <3 contacting the dead… SDCIT, driger… they are all fun to fuck with :p



you can add me to your list up there :p im considered a msi admin :p

and your work with msi is greatly appreciated :)

Wow, Deep, Real real Deep.
Man I can't stand reading threads like these, I to fall into the trap about thinking what script to write next, or what function to work on at night, and at school.

I always hate reading these because I feel like, "what am I doing, wasting hours per week doing what?", "nothing but cheating on a game." Well, it is always sad to see people leave, or "move on".

I think that srl/scar are what they are, pass-times. I do find myself on here for hours on end, doing nothing. Anyone here remember when they were a really young child and always wanting to go with your parents to the Candy-store(still on the end my street :P) or going to Toys-R-Us to just look at the toys? Well That is what I have lost with SRL, the excitement that use to come with it. I use to just script for the feeling on ocomplishment. Now I don't know.

Well, sorry to see you leave. Wish you good luck in what ever you want to do, or what ever you will do.

I still like SRL alot, and I am thinking of what to do. I got so worked up last night, I guess I may have acted too quickly. I don't know what I will do, I will have to think about it.

I think the reason that you don't get that feeling anymore is that the people at SRL junior forums don't script as much anymore. Dev's haven't come out w/ any scripts lately( or other people that kick as* at scripts) so the excitement of coming in and getting awesome new scripts has been lost.

Special + pwn + Dark Sniper = H3 snipers and swords

(Dark_Sniper > Special + pwn)


special = lvl 7 ?

pwn = lvl 22 ?

dark_sniper = lvl 44 !

even though pwn is good with sniper :p

that last no scope i put to special was sick though :p







Well im glad i will see more of you than anyone else :)

actually pwn = 40 :D

EDIT: Miner hits 2 weeks runtime(18 mins left)… I dn I'm happy I got a script to that :D

Great post. Thank you. That was a good read. I think you have made the right decision. I am glad to see you have matured here a lot, and I hope this will help you further in life. At least we have succeeded in one of our goals :)

Masters Cup? Oops, I think I missed you on this one. Corrected*

* Do I have to do this this all alone? :)

probably :p

Wow pwnaz0r that was nice post… **after a long think of what to type**.
You've made some great tut. thanks for those. i didn't really know you. but what i do know of you is that you're a nice guy. and that you did a lot for this community. thanks for those things, an probably a lot more.
have a nice life with you're brother. and you're owne life ;)

p.s. we will promise you something, we will continue teaching new members on msn ;)

I don't think you're addicted, just go look at n3ss3s over there…

Just wait till I steal one of those scripters cups and get the "Horribly addicted" afterglow xD

Good job on masters cup, and generally everything you've done here!

Sad to see you leaving, but you don't know how important your competition was to me. My object finding before it was, and still would be like:

for I := 0 to GetArrayLength(ColorArray) - 1 do
  begin
    if (FindColorSpiralTolerance(X, Y, ColorArray[i], MSX1, MSY1, MSX2, MSY2, 5)) then
    begin
      MMouse(X, Y, 0, 0);
      if (IsUpTextMulti('oblin', 'Goblin', 'blin')) then
      begin

etc =/

p.s. we will promise you something, we will continue teaching new members on msn

Teach hermpie

I have the same stupid addiction that i have to come to these forums once a day xD …. Doing nothing. Not even posting X_X, That much…

Well Gl ;)

i told you yesterday, I don't want to see you go, I really like you!
You help me, you're kind, you're one of my best friends!

If you go, then I wish you the best.

your right, before my b day i didn't made a list with ''wanted'' stuff i just dont got the feeling anymore…

and to bad i see you go.., even i didnt know you so wel its still sad…

Yeah I can understand. I may actually try that, thanks c0de. So many people I have talked to on msn have suggested, may give it a try for a while. By the way, of course SRL has not made me loose any friends or my social life, I haven't worked as hard at school though, which I will continue to do to get into a good college.

PS. Reading news in morning is good idea, but I get up at 6 and go to school at 6:30, thats time to get shower, dressed, make sure I got everything etc. Anyways I go to bed at 12 also, so I don't sleep much etheir.

BTW Thanks for masters, it means alot more to me than I might show :D

Social Life = In Check; Friends = In Check; School Work = Better than before O.o;

Hmm, I wonder how that works, adding on an hour a day to the computer, yet doing better in school? Not that I did bad anyways.

Pwnaz0r when I first came here, most all of what I learned came from reading JAD's tuts. Since he's not usually around and I've since become a member here, I can honestly say that you've taught me like 90% of any new things I might have picked up, from either your tuts or competitions or discussions or whatever. I'll be sad to see you go man, but I think you're making the right choice. Congrats on the Master's Cup, you more than deserve it.

Well Im positive I'll see you around more than that … especially since you are doing msi scripting competition. You will have to do some work with that… then you can come and go as you please.

Dang…you were an awesome guy.

Sad to see that you'll be leaving us. Have fun in the real world.

forgot about me already i see?

We never talked to each other, but my general impression of you is that you're a nice and helpful guy. When I've seen you around the SRL-Members-section I've always considered you something in the middle of SRL-member and SRL-developer.

I'm sad to see you leave. But if that is what you wish, it is what you do.

SCAR and SRL are used by many as the first script to a career in programming. If this is an addiction, I'd say a good one. Though for the time consume it does take… Well, I still love this place more than any other Internet place.

SRL is the perfect electronic land!

Bye bye, and good luck!

Hah well thanks guys. I may try what c0de and SKy Scripter have said to try :\
