SRL Archive - News and General

Well, i've been thinking about this for a while.. even after i left srl, but i wanna post about it know :)

'Cause, if you compare SCAR to other programming languages, you need to write a LOT more code. So i was thinking , if we shortened it by adding more functions / procedures… This is kinda like the MSI include, but it was never finished?!

So what i'm trying to say is , if we could shorten it by adding more procedures for things we use a lot for let's say a fishing script. Make a procedure which fishes the fish and each type. This would shorten a lot of scripts by a lot, and everyone would work on it, so it would work efficiently.

Does anyone get what i'm saying? :P

Well, post comments :)

Na… This differs from people to people… I my self like to write my own functions so i know HOW they work and when they fail i can fix them. But of course… New scripters would surely like this. But then again SRL Membership… You wouldnt be able to show what u know about scripting and srl when people use functions that arent made by them, but by a pro scripter (dev). But if u have alot of functions that can be added to srl. Go to SRL Development topic and post ur functions!

I don't agree. Compare SCAR to other programming languages, a SCAR script is a lot shorter, but this varies from different types of programming languages.

Also, if we're going to continue with this, then what would be the point of fishing procedure, because all a user needs to do (pretty much) for a fishing script would be something like:

program Fish;

procedure PlayerSetup;
begin
  ... ... ...
end;

begin
  repeat
    FishTheFish;
    AntiRandoms(Fish);  //Will do anti-randoms for that skill.
    FindNormalRandoms;
  Until(...);
end.

So i vote a no to this opinion.

Look, with the fishing that's not what i meant, but like the "smaller" things, we could add em. Would save a lot of time + coding. And were's your procedure FishTheFish o.O

I totally understand what your saying… but writing your own procedures/functions is what makes your script different from everyone else's. I think how SRL is now is pretty good… It allows for originality but also helps you out with there already being things such as anti randoms.

Yeah i know, but it can be better :) And it doesn't have to be like fishing procedures, just cancel how i said that before. It could be the smaller things instead… And i'm starting to want to join the MSI thing o.O

Wasn't that the whole idea of this idea? FindTheFish was supposed to be inside SRL, like you suggested. And can you please name some minor things that might be useful?

yea… nothing seems to come to mind when you say "minor things"… because i think SRL has most or all the minor things covered.

I thought you meant …. dw :P

And with the minor things, i can't think of em off the top of my head… but i'm pretty sure there are small things. But if there ain't, we could go back to the other idea :) And MSI Seems dead :(

MSI isn't dead, although not many people are working on it atm. I'll start putting more and more stuff in there when school gets out. Maybe you can be MSI's minister of propaganda? lol :p

Well, the skill includes could use a lot more attention. Maybe just add stuff that doesn't get changed a lot in Runescape like FindFishingSpots:array of TPoint; or FindFire:TPoint;, etc.

Hey! That's one of the goals of MSI! Maybe you should start a thread in there about that *cough* *cough* *MSI needs supporters* *cough*.

This isn't horribly unrelated propaganda, I have no idea what you're talking about… ;)

But isn't MSI things more like Fish; leaving only walking and banking to people, or even just dropping? :)

I believe the point of this is that it should be easier to script, but not take away the hardness, although I think a good amount of the people here are being too elitist since they're already a member and would be angered if suddenly the learning curve for SCAR/SRL that they went through was lowered considerably.

Nah.. ppl at SRL don't like this, like when I suggest the KYAB implementation they said "oh noez! we likez to make our own complicated scripts all the time!"

i wouldnt mind it honestly, but i know it wouldnt happen, because a lot of people dont like the idea.

How about we let the Junior Members decide then? It seems the biggest obstacle for it being implemented is the random Members that love spending hours on complicated stuff that only 25 people here know.

Ok, but when i started this thread, i didn't mean for it to become TOO easy to script. I just meant like small things, like walking to places etc etc


Anyways, Let's see how this goes

-Ashur

Honestly, I think it is fine as it is.



And walking to places is a big thing.

Yeah ,it is… After some thinking, i think we should close this thread lol.


If a mod or admin is viewing this, could they close it please :)

Do you have something against me? All your posts seem negative, not in a good way.

If you don't like me, alright that's cool.

Wait. What are you talking about.

I just said that you can close it yourself by the way i had provided.
