I've looked around the junior scripts and free for all sections, and I have some ideas for new scripts. I personally don't like making a script if there's a substitution for it, as that would be mostly a waste of time. Instead, I would prefer making scripts that haven't been thought of before, and haven't been made yet. So here they are, my ideas.

#1 - Ranger

Begin in varrock. You have a choice of using bronze (cheap) arrow mode or rune (expensive) arrow mode. They don't necessarily have to be bronze or rune.
If you choose bronze arrow mode, it will shoot at enemies (I'll hopefully find a pen or something nearby) without picking the arrows back up. When it runs out, it can either

• go back to the bank to get more arrows provided you have some in your bank, or

• get money out of a bank (I'll have it automatically calculate the amount needed, for convenience).

However, if you choose rune arrow mode, the script will go into the pen and get as many arrows of your type as possible (optionally retreiving arrows of other types as well). If you eventually run out (or the total amount of arrows goes below a certain amount) then it could optionally buy more arrows at a nearby store.

The only problems I can see with this script is that there would be way too many options, and that could be really annoying for anyone who uses the script.

#2 - Complete Runecrafter

Begin in Varrock East Bank. I am hoping to have this script work with as many different types of runes as possible, so that there can be an option of gathering a ratio of runes (i.e. for every 10 air runes, get 5 fire runes). I'm calling it a complete runecrafter because I am hoping to make this gather rune essence, then runecraft it after, therefore you don't have to run one script for 20 days then a different script for another 20 days.

The only problem I see with this script is that it will take a while to actually start getting things done, but after it gets started it should go quickly.

#3 - Location Include

This one is pretty much just a dream at the moment (obviously) and I highly doubt I would be able to pull this one off, but basically I was thinking of making an include that lets you map walk to and from major cities. For example, you could include the file and just type "MapWalk("Edgeville","Lumbridge"), making the script walk from Edgeville to Lumbridge. This isn't just going to drop you anywhere in the city, though; I am hoping to have a pre-designated place that the script will drop off the character for each place (for example, the east bank in varrock or the death centre in lumbridge), leaving the detailed mapwalking to the script maker.

And, if I am able to do that, I will think about making a modification that can find where the character is anywhere on the map and walk to a major city (MapWalkTo("Varrock")). If this works, no script will ever lose where it is, provided this script knows where it is.

#4 - Just stick with the Silver Crafter

I am going to implement DTM's and better walking abilities into the script I already made, the Al Kharid SilverCrafter. If I feel up to it, I'll probably add new features to it as well.

Please tell me what you think I should and shouldn't make, what order to do them in, what should be kept the same and made different, etc. I hope that I am able to eventually make all of these, but I would like to know what to concentrate on for the time being.

Thank you very much for your help,

The runecrafter idea sounds good, since there aren't any really good runecrafters at the moment. Gathering essence + runecrafting will be a hell of a task though. Up to you to do whatever you want, I'm with the runecrafter for now.

your welcome to work the bugs out of my varock walker and use it ass an add on to wizzups ess miner script (death walking)

to make it virtually unstopable. (get lost? teleport home and walk back up)

Rangers are the best and the most fun like come on wouldnt it be lame having a runecrafter ?

I got an idea i don't know if there is already something out there like this but…

how about a mind ess runner … runes ess to mind alter trades player's name stated in script trades ess for for minds and runs back… and so on… would come in very handy anyone agree…

Thank you very much for your feedback. Right now, it seems the most people want the runecrafter.

Yep, it sure will be. But since nobody has made anything like it yet, it sounds like a perfect task.

That sounds like a good idea, and I think that would make a very good script, but wouldn't I need to get Wizzup?s permission first? I definitely feel that is a good idea, and will definitely consider it after I get permission from Wizzup.

Yes, there definitely aren't enough ranging scripts compared to the other skills. Also, why would it be lame to have a runecrafter? It would make you lots of money (runes are used up quickly and are in high demand) and walking to the temples would be hard to do, which is what I want.

So, if I understand you correctly, it's a mind rune runecrafter that uses two people? Like, one person will mine essence, while the other person crafts mind runes? That's a pretty cool idea, but it would require either dual login, or dual scripts on two different computers. It would come in handy, but it would almost be impossible to do, since with the dual login, it would be next to impossible to switch between the scripts. Or with the dual computers, first of all, it's two computers when you could be using one, or you would require that if one character takes too long, the other character has to wait longer as well. Although it sounds like something that could be done with two scripts…

Keep the feedback coming, as the polls are still very close and I am not sure what should be made first.

you already have wizzups permision. His script is open source, so you can expand upon it as much as you want.

so is mine, (youl have to search for it though) mine walked you from lumby to varock.

i have a prety good hunch that wizzup woudl be happy for someoone to add in death walking into his script to , so ask him if you are unsure.

i have been meaning to do this, i just havnet had time.

runecrafter sounds awesome actually

though i accidentally voted Ranger i think the complete rune crafter idea would be really cool and extremely useful.

Well, it seems this thread has almost died, so I'm going to start on the Complete Runecrafter, and do the Ranger later.

Since I have permission from LordGregGreg, I will combine this with his Varrock Walker and Wizzup?'s Essence miner for now, to get things moving quicker.

you got your work cut out for you. good luck.

btw, you dont plan to integreate a rune crafter into wizzups script do you?

i was thinking that you just fix (or remake, what ever your style) my varaock walker, and then add it in as death walk to wizzzups script.

Yeah, that's pretty much it, but I kinda said it the other way around. Like, instead of integrating the rune crafter into those scripts, I was integrating the scripts into the rune crafter. It's pretty much the same thing. I am still fixing/remaking your script and using Wizzup's.
