Well, I wanted to create something, which has never been created before. Something classic, something humorous, something… new.;)
So, I walked around runescape a bit, and when I came to lumbridge castle, there was a noob asking someone to give him a little tour, and there my idea was sparked! :spot:
My idea is to create a little guide, which will make the character walk through the close by envoriment, and say some comments about it, while doing some emotes, and some other neat stuff. Now, what do you guys think of that idea? :D

EDIT: Haha, I just got an even funnier idea, but still the same script: someone with a members account could post a thread in runescape saying something like: we are proud to announce that after lots of training, we have successfully trained some players to be awsome tourist guides through the land around lumbridge, we appear in world [enter main world here], but to random hours, but do not be afraid, we have so many trained people, that we will be runnign almost around the clock. Feel free to tip our empoyees. ". Now, if I make the script multiplayer on changing shifts, there would acutally be a nice litttle way to earn a bit of money. :D

tah p0wnage :p

woohoo! I already have a fan for this project! :D ;)

a fan yes:P, not an scripter :p

well duh :p, I am writing it myself, no need to share the fame and glory. XD

Ub3r godly idea!

I wonder if Jagex would be so cruel as to ban the tour guides…

IMO this would be a good idea for Jagex (to make characters that walk around showing people around all of runescape)

Walking is the thing I am best at. but also I am making (realize how I used the time: "present"? :D) it so there are always 3 or so random options to choose, which will describe the destination. :)
But knowing jagex a bit, I have not a doubt that once they catch wind of it, they will ban every single touriste guide, because they would think it will spam the worlds full. XD (so paranoid :p)

Something totally new, something like a unflagger? something like this: http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19334

j/k :p

if you finish make something like this it would be great!

Hahaha This is Funny you should make this im with you

I give u some Rep

Hold teh rep till I'm done, otherwise I might get so worked up on this that I might screw up so many times that I might just quit, but it is looking good so far, I decided it should have a progress report *lots of "ooooo"s and "aaaaaa"s comming form the back rows* :D
Thanks for all the positive comments guys, this makes it way easier to actually finish it. :)
(oh, btw, I would like to know from brain why he voted the way he did… :()

kinda dumb idea ;)?


Sorry stur pure, but you didn't have to rprt me. it was a question, not a statement. ;)

Sounds like a nice idea, go for it :)

Thanks, I already started it. (perfect timing with the support) :D :)

Oh, btw: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR! reminds me somehow of the time I was 4… :D

Alright, now I am calmed down a bit… still, I hate turning on my pc, in a good mood, and then seeing something like this… Oh well.
Well, anyway, this is how many things I am currently planning to visit, tell me if you guys think smething should be added:
-Lumbridge Bank
-Lumbridge Cook (with special stove :D)
-Cow Area
-Chicken Pen
-Fishing spot by the goblins
-Sheep (Including "the thing" ;))
-Forest on the way to draynor
-Swamps (including the mine)
-Graveyard and church
Well, that's all I am planning to do so far, any more suggestions?

Hey, don't get so worked up. He's just looking for a partner for nights that his parents aren't home.

i didn't understand that but OK. stur pure, don't take it seriusly ;), i just think it kinda, err… il refrain for your sake ;)

Great idea Stur Pure! It would not be very beneficially to us (3k trade limit :() But it would still be very cool!

Alright footbal, you are forgiven :D.
The real purpose of this script is not to gain money, but mostly for me to gain scripting experience, and also, it would be the first script which would actually sorta support jagex together with runescape. lol
But the tip thing is just an idea, a little side way to maybe earn a tiny bit of side cash. :D

god you have come so far since we met actually how did we meet? oh well gotta get to the point may i assist you in making this script? i dont know much but i got a little walker to work the other day with a little training im sure i can be the man for the job if you need a hand that is.

EDIT: W00t 100th post go me

Gratz on 100th post! :)
Well, there really isn't anything for you to do… I'm sorry, but I am getting along really well, and I have sorta my own scripting style as well, and I will definelty get messed up if I try to (for example) update a script to new srl versions. But there is one thing you could do… remember that we wanted to make an essence miner together a while back? Well, what you could do is create a function, which checks where we are, and act accordingly. (this is for when we are in the mine, because we get teleported to different spots in the mine). If you could do that, then there would be much less to work on, and we could focus on doing the walking, adding failsafes and other stuff. :D
I am making myself an MSN account, I'll message you once I createed one. :)

ok thanks heaps though give me a few tips on making it and ill help

I hope you guide doesn't log out with a random event. :D

is it like going to be when people walk up to you, and then you tell them whats going on.

or they ask you question whereas you dont listen and then you write this whole thing that is pointless to the newcomers.

it would be good if there was a question and answer thing, and if there is a question that scar cant recognise(by that i mean that you havent already put a question thing in) then it says good question ill see that through or something, then it just prt scrn's it, then u can read the question later on, and just incase someone asks the same thing you add that question in with an answer.

just some ideas. :)

HAHA! that would be funny, ;)

Who says it needs a random event in order for it to randomly log out? :D There is nothing more fun than watching a group of tourists who have been completely mislead lose their guide. ;)

Ah, I'm just joking around, but the progress is astonishing: It already gets to lumbirdge, walks to the bank, walks to the cook, and back in the courtyard. It does not have an auto-responder up to this point, but it does have a halfway random description of the visited places (you know, like "case random(3) of") and it talks while waiting for the flag to disappear (I used this in order to set the mood against jagex's new updates. not solemly, but it does have a few comments which should make them want to try out good ol pking, or merchanting, but it also makes it clear, that it is no longer possible :D).
Also, I created it so that the stuff the player says while walking is not repeated. So he won't say the exact same thing more than once.

i love it, can't wait for it, just watch my computer in amazement as it takes a bunch of noobs on a tour of lumbridge…you should throw in a "mood swing" option where in the middle of any given tour the person can just freak out walking randomly and insulting the tourists :p

Shame they took out the wilderness, otherwise this tour could've been much more 'fruitfull' for the tourguide ;)
Ahwell, good idea anyway - make sure to not get too close to any vicious creatures though - nothing worse than losing a noob to a sheep in a bad mood.

lol i like^

Sweet idea

Heh, well, kaitnieks had his trademark little jumping guy avatar, this is mine :)

yea, It's a decent idea. You could also make a "Ardougne zoo tour" would be neat also.

I think i love you. That is awesome.

good idea but you could help rs newbies more by telling them about the knowedge base.

tzzz, you answered yourself by saying "could" :p
I could make the guide actually helping them, or I could make a misleading one, which will just confuse them all. I personally like teh second option more, but atm I made it random, if it is a misleading tour or a correct one. :D
