SRL Archive - Outdated Tutorials

Note: This is a work in progress, I just wanted to get it started and out there as soon as possible.



I am not against noobs, I don't think this community should private. I want there to be more members to help development. I just want the members to be better. Also, many apps are a waste of time, pretty much automatic no. This can be avoided.

This guide will contain general tips. Do not post exactly what got you accepted or rejected.

DO NOT try to apply with a low post count. I usually don't care about post count, and hate forums that do. I am not saying make a bunch of useless posts either. Just don't try to apply as soon as you get here. Let us get to know you first, or it's pretty much an automatic no. Note from yohojo: this may slide if everything else is good.

DO write an SRL script. Don't write something else and say you will learn SRL after being accepted.

NEW DO write a script that demonstrates you know standards, player switching, and anti-randoms. If you have an awesome script but it's p2p and no switching, write a simple power chopper and submit both. Same goes for a script that doesn't get randoms Just make sure you show you know all these basics.

DO learn as much as you can first.

DON'T rush it. This ties in with the above 3.

DON'T write a script just for the sake of getting accepted.

DON'T beg, be needy, campaign for votes, or be too persistent to the point of annoyance.

DO wait a while before trying again if you get rejected.

DON'T hold grudges to people that vote no. It's for your own good.

DO remember to save the bookmark. Often members voting on apps have questions for the applicants. It also helps you to see your progress.

DO contribute, help, and learn as much as possible before becoming a member. Don't save it all for later.

DO get to know how things work around here.

DON'T copy scripts. First of all we will catch you. Second it will probably hurt your chances of being accepted next time, even if you do write your own script. It's not worth it, it wastes your time and ours.

EDIT: DON'T COPY SCRIPTS! I said it would hurt your chances before, but now, if you plagiarize, myself and others will NEVER let you in. You will be branded a leecher, and shunned. Take some time to put in the effort and write your own stuff.

DO make good posts. As you will see, there is a certain ambience about this community, make sure you know what this is. Don't excessively spam/cuss/bad mout devs/etc, this is common sense.

DON'T bother even applying if you just care about getting scripts.

DO learn to script. Driger's Tutorial.exe and Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package are good places to start.
–General DO: Search first, ask questions later.

DO think twice before applying. Am I really ready? Don't waste your time or ours. Remember what some wise man said, 'Don't enter a fight unless you know you will win'.

It's midnight, if I think of any more I'll add. I may add bold and other niceities when I'm bored. Feel free to post your do's and don't's. As I said before don't post exactly what got you rejected or accepted, just general stuff.

Prety nice
NEEDED VERY BADLY =)
Id just change the post count one.
Yes i don't like voting for people with low post count but if they have a killer script i will actually say yes.
I think you should get the views of everyone else who posts here also and then a mod should sticky it or something and make all applicants read it before applying =p.
Nice Job.

Thanks.

I was debating the low post count. I have seen a lot of people no for low post count, plus low post count is usually accompained by other factors so I left it in. Of course these are just guidelines, it's not like there something you makes you unable to click the apply button if you less than 10 posts. Let's say it's an indicator, you will have a lower chance of getting accepted with a lower post count, and a higher chance of wasting everyone's time. I'll leave it in until I see a good number of people that were accepted with a low post count.

Hmm, I'm not sure how I would vote on killer script and low post count, as it's not just about how good the script is, but also attitude and stuff, which is shown in posts.

Yea, I said

Feel free to post your do's and don't's.

so I hope for this to grow.

Lol, I bet even if there was a check box "I have read the do's and don't's" forcing them to read there would still be some apps wasting our time, but hopefully this will but a dent in it.

stickyfied.

Yea i just applied… and it sent me to…
http://www.villu-reborn.com/newthread.php
So i wasn't sure what to copy. My computer was done loading anything, so i clicked back and resubmitted with a thing at the bottom saying sorry for double posting. The you (Boreas) PMed me asking to delete one, but i don't have links to either of them.

Masq took care of it.

nice guide i really needed it

I'm a member, somehow. I've done all the don'ts and none of the do's >_>

I'm trying to learn Scar again though.

You may have joined before it went private, and then when it became pubic again, you got automatic membership. You may want to read a thread called SRL Members, Why? by yohojo in the members section.


Anyone have anything to add to the guide?

I have. To end confusion official rules will follow…

P.S.: Dont we love being admins Jansen :)

DO learn to script. Driger's Tutorial.exe and Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package are good places to start.
–General DO: Search first, ask questions later.

I can't find Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package :( Can you post a link, please?

http://www.moparisthebest.com/smf/index.php/topic,6723.0.html

Thanks :)

ok ty, ill try to get informed :(h):

Do learn the concepts of Pascal first to better help yourself understand how SCAR and SRL work. Maybe?

back on the topic of low post count…look at mine i got like 30 posts…but i've been here longer then some people who got like 500 posts….just cause people like me dont talk doesn't mean we aren't there or paying attention…i've read most of the posts on the forum. Another wise saying "Sometimes its better to be seen than herd";)

True but paying attention isn't the same as contributing. SRL Members are granted access to more forums, so in return they contribute to the community. Granted post count isn't an exact measure of contributing, but what is in the posts gives a good idea. I think mopar said it well on his TOS.

what would you say a good post count to have be4 you apply is?

Well it depends on what is in the posts. Certainly 5-10 is too little to get know someone. Just as long as you are not a stranger that just walked in if you know what I mean.

I think this will be very usefull to me later on. Thank you for taking the time for writing this.

Np, thanks for reading.

Got a question,
I applied for membershipt over 2 weeks ago, its been sitting in there with 3 yes and 0 no.
Just wondering how long one of these votes go for?? :D

Your poll is closed, and that auto closes in 1 week I believe. Someone with 'The Power' has to look at it, which hasn't happened yet. I know Fakawi has looked at other apps after yours, I don't why he didn't look at yours at the same time.

So the votes mean nothing unless someone with 'The power' votes on it. Then should I make another request or wait a while, I dont know :confused:

Well the votes don't control the timing of when you get accepted or denied. They are a big indicator on whether you will be accepted. Since I have been a member, I have only seen 1 case where the votes didn't reflect the outcome, and that was a special case.

I think you will get in, so don't make another one. Either wait a bit more, or perhaps pm WT-Fakawi, since it appears he missed yours and it has been a while.

Note to everyone else: please don't pm people and bother them unless it is a case like this.

This was very helpful to me, im making my app but it wont let me attatch….

Put it in code/scar tags. It makes evaluating apps faster if we can see the script right away.

kk, i did that. Sorry if there are duplicates….i got a few errors and had to resubmit

Thanks so much!! Most is common sense, but now Im sure that when Im ready, I'll really be ready.

Thanks for the Tip.


I will be applying as soon as I am ready. It's always best not to rush anything as long as you have the time to do your absolute best!


Things I need to complete before applying:


*Finish Learning SCAR to a good extension.

*Complete my first SRL script and make a good high quality script.

*Start being an active member and good contributor of these forums!


Thanks~!

It's always best not to rush anything as long as you have the time to do your absolute best!

Good attitude!

tyvm tvm much needed badly i also dont think post count is very impotrant =)

The actual number of posts is not, but their content is. We need to get to know you, maturity level, intelligence, scripting ability, helpfulness, sense of humor, everything is shown in posts.

Well this was very useful. I figure seince im here i might as well ask…any idea what happend to sythe.org?

I don't know, I believe there's a thread about it somewhere.

Hey thanks, it helped me.

Good job, Boreas. I hope we can get some more people contributing, and not a bunch of "noobs" applying. :)

Thanks. I think I see a little less useless apps now, but there are still people who manage to miss the stickys lol.

So basically I've got no chance at becoming a member because there's no way i can make a RS script I've read countless tutorials and I am still pretty sure i couldn't make a RS script. i understand the tutorials but I don't think i could do one for Runescape :( any suggestions?
Yes i am kind of new to SRL forums and if i ever do apply it won't be for a while but i have seen many scripts and still don't get how they work. suggestions greatly appreciated.:(

The greatest journey starts with a single program new;….

It doesn't happen overnight. I think everyone was at the point where they could 'hello world' but reading a script was impossible. Bit by bit you will learn more and you'll be reading scripts like a book eventually. Look at part 1 of my FAQ (link in sig), get everything there, and look in the Massive SCAR Learning Package, in a folder called games. I started off writing scripts for those. When you are comfortable with techniques (color finding, mouse moving etc) you can move on to RS scripts. Then there are several tuts on how to write auto talkers, powerminers etc.

I think with scripting, being naturally good at math and logic etc does help a bit. But only a bit. Scripters are not born, they are made. I think anyone can learn to script, even with no previous programming experience (SCAR is my only full language).

I got debuged ess miner now hi work good , not 3 times, now hi work for me 24H per day if some one want to download esse miner msg me ….

ok thx but i don't know if you can still get Massive SCAR Learning Package anywhere all links i saw were dead. who wrote it? sorry but yeah i am uber n00b :) so yeah o well i'll do my best to learn this crazy thingy.
thx again.

yup the links on FAQ #1 are both dead….oh well. BTW if anyone for some really weird reason wanted to help me make a script and go through it with me 1 on 1 PM me rofl or email at [email]rkroxpunk@hotmail.com[/email]

hakeris… huh???

rk try this http://villu-reborn.com/showthread.php?t=6115
if that doesn't work ask someone else to upload, because I'm not doing it again lol

lmfao……don't work either but don't worry i'll get off my ass and figure out myself you've helped enough noobies like me by the looks of things and aren't getting much back in return so don't worry……..ty anyway.

Nice guide ;) Although when I applied yesterday it was my first post, I should've posted a few more times :o

thanks this will help me i already applyed but i didn't get accepted so i'll try to work harder on my SRL scripts and work a few days on it and stuff so it will be a awesome script i'm working on a tut island scritp now it's on my other computer that got crashed so i got to start over
thanks boreas(h)

The post count is primarily to get to know applicants. You had posts on other sites and darky knew you.

thanks boreas(h)

Np. You can still do the tut island if you want, but make sure you demonstrate you know player switching and antirandoms, like with a power chopper/miner etc.

Omg I didn't Bookmark the page where I applied… How do I get there? And I need some help with the script I'm making. Something in my script is wrong (Runtime Error, right when I get to login… ummmm. And if the applications are only viewable by SRL Members, Can Someone get me the link?

http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5854
http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/scripting-help-f140.html

Thanks Boreas for making this, I have been wondering how to become a member, and I'm thinking of subscribing pretty soon. I'll be ready with all the DO's and hopefully none of the DONT'S lol.

EDIT: YES!!!! I'm a Lesser Demon!! finally, lol. I hated that title chicken :P

Thanks for this.
Im gonna submit an application in the not to distant future.
But Im not sure if any of the scripts I have made so far are complicated enough.. They are rather simple, but get the job done.
But they still have multiplayer/antirandom/antiban and SRL.

Is it worth trying anyway?

Release it in the free scripts section, and if members post good job etc then you got a chance.

Nice, wish I saw this page the first time I sent in my application … =)

I reccomend showing a notice such as this on the actual application form if you are having issues with applicants. Thanks though :)

Yea I've been wishing that for a while lol.

would you be able to apply with a powerminer? i'm actually getting not too bad at scripting but god no matter how accurately i follow a radialwalking tut i can never get it to work perfectly

Yea powerminer with multiplayer, antirandoms, standards, and original functions (like a rock finding procedure that isn't just findobj) will do it.

peasy

heres a great question: whats the point of a search button that gives you results of 10+ pages and doesnt tell you which one to look at? honestly.

huh?

Alright. I know some of the standards and logic. I know the idea behind player-switching, and should be able to write something that uses it. And to learn SRL, I should read the SRL includes? AntiRandoms I think I know at least, I've read a tutorial on them.

Eventually, it'll all come together, and I can become an SRL Member :P. It'll take some determination though.

Oh, and does anybody know some of those downloadable tutorials? They were good for my families cottage, where we don't have internet. Like SCAR Tutorial.exe, used that last year. Is there anymore?
EDIT: Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package I noticed in the first post. I'll try it out soon, I need to go now though :P

Yea, definitely read through SRL so you make use of the functions.

There's another downloadable one. Check section 1 of my FAQ, red 'new'

That's where I found it from yesterday :)

I'm on my mom's cpu, she'd kill me if I put anything on here. I just built a gaming rig, or a cheap one, today. I'll put it on that..

well.. I am pretty sure that i meet most of the requirements, if not all, But i just am not sure,, I dont wanna rush cause i dont wanna get rejected, and im not sure how good the script has to work..? the one i have in my siggy would probably be the one that i would use, but im not sure if it is good enough. I sure as heck dont wanna get rejected, thats just the way i am. Could somebody tell me if they think i am ready for it?

In terms of members are they required to vote? cause on my last two only twenty people voted.

No. 20 is a lot

Well there you go, Ive read through this but i think the main problem i keep getting knocked back is my script so im writing a new one.

Thanks Boreas for this tut, this comes in handy. (bookmarked :p )

can u submit a script that was made by you and sum1else?

or can u just put both peoples names to be members…

or can u just not do it?

Make on by yourself, and give credits (and get permission) to all functions you borrowed. Make sure most of them are yours, we want to see your scripting ability.

Well im currently working on a few scripts im going to choose the best and use it to try to get in i know i have a low post count but i will try :)

I'm not really sure that I'm ready to apply. For instance, I'm working on a script for outside of Runescape. And as of now, I only have Clickmouse, Wait's,MoveMouseSmooth, loops in there. Eventually as I move on and learn more, I'll add bitmaps, and anything else that I learn to it :). It's around 100 or so lines at the moment. Would it be good enough even if I don't have randoms, multi-player? (Stuped Spam is helping me out quite a lot with it :) with standards, and errors that I can't find out whats wrong with it, also with teaching me about loops :))

All the other Do's I think I'm pretty good with, except I'm not sure if I'm well known around this forum yet :).

-Dunceiam

you have 550 posts and you arnt known? Even some people know me and i only have 350 or something :p

Well, most of those posts are in Draynor Netter (Dankness) or threads in the "Waste of time" forum. So only really 3/4's of my posts are important. The rest are just random posts :).

-Dunceiam

Thanks for the information, lets me know when im ready to apply…

Thanks for them links too..

You have enough posts so that we can see your character, maturity, etc etc. You don't need to be famous.

You need anti randoms and multiplayer at the very least.

ive developed my own anti-ban but ive simply used findfastrandoms and findnormal randoms is this shunned upon?

No. Whatever you use, use it well.

So, scripts outside of RS shouldn't be used for your application? Considering that you don't need randoms outside of RS.:p

-Dunceiam

Short answer, Yes that's correct.

SCAR can be used for things other than RS, but SRL was designed for RS, and most (if not all) of the threads in member section pertain to RS.

Non RS apps have to be extremely good to get in. Free standing apps (programs you make just using SCAR's forms, such as Kaitniek's Bejeweled) have a better chance than scripts designed for other games that voters aren't familiar with.

Nice guide thanks, ill be applying soon :)

hey ..i have a question: should i post my script beforehand and post it in the member form thing after, or should i just put it in the form?

Yes posting a script before is a great way to get feedback.

hey thx dude so i'm goingt to learn how to write a skript now thx so much b8ter

Ill start writing scripts then =D

Very helpful.

i just need to learn scripting now 0o
Already got some relatively simple/original script ideas.

There's a few typos in there.. bugging me.

(0'0)

does not knowing ne other languages kill ur chances at all? when u say scar script u mean was creates for scar right

SCAR is my first (and really only) fully fluent language.

k ty…i would have failed if i had to know another language

Just out of interest, how low is a low post count? I made some scripts I consider decent and original with my own functions, but I have a very low post count, and no Radial Walk or banking.

Thank you. This really helped me out. Once i really start understanding scripting, I will make some scripts and later apply :). Right now, i am learning HTML (Almost done lol, its not really that hard, and its fun.)

Thanks a heap for this guide! I will apply as soon as I have learnt more.
Thanks again.

Tazzie

thanks a bunch, i needed a guide like this

ty for tut ;) i wanna apply soon im working on a varrock powerminer…still got a few bugs to work out i got just about everything from jads tut except banking (guess thats because its a powerminer lol). I wanna make it the best i can before i apply.:D

you need like 95 % of teh sript isself but standard things like srl and antiban you may use from others if i looked the aply forum thingy good

Add link to Driger's Tut.exe and the Script Massive helper package. ;)

Thank you very much Boreas! I'm downloading Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package right now, and I'm actually reading Driger's Tutorial.exe ATM! I'm getting to know SCAR a little more, and I can't wait to become an awesome scripter! :D

I'm assuming knowing (atleast a little of) another language will help with becoming a member?? {I'm learning a little bit Java ATM also…}

Thanks again.

Languages that are closer to pascal help more, but it can't hurt.

Yeah, I can understand that. :p

I just need to learn Java for non SRL related things, just wondering if it helped with a membership at all.

i probly should have read that before i aplied lol.

From: nose_smasher

It won't really help with your app, but it makes learning another language easier, you already know what variable means etc.

nice guide

nice really needed might apply for srl member soon

Thanks this guide has helped me out a lot. I have bee looking through the other tutorials for a while now so I think I'm ready to make my first script =).

yea awesome nice guide lines

u know how u said dont copy scripts rite? when we i apply for members am i allowed to get a little part of a script just say like that anti randoms of a person and credit them? im just askin cuz many membs take other script parts and credit them..

A little bit is fine if your credit (next to each procedure you use).

looks like i have a bit of work to do.

i might aply soon
when i know more about scripting
(working on a powerchopper atm)

I really do not think the post count is working well. I will reply to this, however it seems by having a post requirement, you will end up with rubbish than good topics. Quality is always preferred over quantity, well I guess unless your scripting a boring task in runescape, however, you still need a quality script to perform the actions.

I should note that this guide is about becoming an SRL Member, not a Junior SRL Member. SRL Members get a lot more than Junior SRL Members, and so every app from JSRL->SRL is looked over manually, by many people. When someone applies for SRL Member, all of their posts are read. If it is found that they spammed their way into JSRL, they won't get into SRL (and will probably be demoted from JSRL).

Why isn't there a pay option to becoming a member?

This site concentrated on learning rather than anything else.

If you learn more, you will be rewarded with more.

If you would like to pay for SRL member status, Donate $10000000000000000 to the SRL site and i will gladly make you one. :D

Hey, all my posts got reset, so should i get my post count back up before i try applying.
Thanks,
Korn

Ok i will work on that then.

Now i know =).

Thanks ill keep this in mind since i just joined.

Thank you very much this helps me a lot and I will do more posting before i enter. Also the advice on more help on scripting is very helpful to.

Thanks also im going to be a master scripter one day:D
'

But still I can't understand how to be a member??? Im not the best in english, know only basic words.

this is a good tut thanks for this :)

thanks

How would you say whats a good post - bad post?

Okay this is problay answerd a few times but i have to go in 10 minutes. So plz help me out here.

What kind of language is used in scar scripting?

I can do some nice webdesign with php, html and etc is it something like that? for example vbscript c++ that kind of stuff

second are there some good books which you can use to get even better?

Im gettin my own room 2 computers and a lot of free time so (in 1 week). And maybe this komes in handy in the future

Just dont flame on me im being a "serious noob":D

ty

well, atleast now i know what to aim for

Nice tut, however i don't really need to be reading it, i need to grasp a better understanding of script development b4 i worry bout bein a member

What are the benefits of becomming a SRL-member?

ok now im simply not an ultra noob (ty Boreas)
and the ummm applying im not quite getting how u apply?

Thanks for the heads up before I apply. I really want to get better at scripting and eventually make a script I would use all the time.

been here quite a while just need 1 more post for junior member :P used to use sky's smelter smelted at leased 10k steel with it im also working on a multi superheater if there isnt a decent one already on.

I would like to be a member to get the Cow Killer / Hide Banker, is their anyway I can get it? If not then thanks for even answering me.

DON'T rush it. This ties in with the above 3.

it doesn't really matter, but i think its 4 now
i hate Capitalizing and apostrophes…

Nice guide!

Ty, that was so helpfull for me.

great tut, but do u know any good guides for scripting for scar 3.12 the ones i found are still using 3.11

it would definately help to have an official rulebook that everyone has to read before becoming a member….

It's still valid for future version.

ya probably should have in future i've seen that style alots in other forum

Thanks for the guide ill keep it in mind!

thanks dudes

just one question, for future reference….how do you apply?

I've looked all over and can't find it but i'm still a noob when it comes to even forums…i've been too them just never got advanced at them.

EDIT: Nvm after my probationary period or whatever i see it now thx anyway!

Nice to see you guys are so open to new people. When AR was going you had to really fight your way into the community, if you ever found it in the first place. I might even start hanging around here some, even though its Shit Compared to… :P

nice guide :D
just as i was wondering what should i do. thanks

Why I'm not junior member? :confused:
I have +10 posts and joined 10-7

From: nerdy
Why I'm not junior member? :confused:
I have +10 posts and joined 10-7

Check and see if you can see the Jr. Member sections (ex. Srl Junior Member scripts). If not then one sec I'll check to see if your posts were helpful and not just spam.

EDIT: Yup, most were spam. When you say 'good script' or something like that, prove it. Post some proggies, some things you like about it, some ideas to make it better etc.

That's probably the reason you're not Jr. Member yet.

thanks im guna work on practising a bit more i'll apply once i get a bit better at scripting and maybe get a bit more active on these forums first

what is considerd low post count and also what is leecher im only started all this 2 days ago im really new thx for help guys

how do i try to apply and where do i try to do that??

Ill have a go at writing a script soonish.

thanks

i think my post count is pretty good plus im active cause i submit like 10 posts a day

it sure helps me to follow the rules :)

well nice gudie i needed this thx :)

we can only hope to aspire

Alot of This is common sence lol.

This is more harder than i thought T_T, the Massive SCAR Learning Package v2 is a bit hard to get but is explain it all… I feel like reading again my Visual Basic 2005 again :p

I see what you mean about the post count i try to answer my questions on my own before i post them so my post count is fairly low but i have been on here for a while.

I thought this was a tut on how to sign up for the site..i thought isnt it sort of useless to make a tut you can't see until you DO log in?

im going to read this VERY closely **pulls out notebook**

nice guide, im sort of new and it really helped me know what to do and what not to do, thanks

Need to keep those in mind…

hi im new but im trying to get excepted. i read that if u wrote pretty good scripts u probably get excepted,But would if u have no clue how to write 1??? what can u do to get axcepted :cartman: then?

You can LEARN… using the tut mentioned in the actual article (if you actually read it). Then probably mention that in your application and they will be more lenient in ripping apart your script ;) .

Another thing: I'm currently learning from tuts and other scripts. I am going to start working on my first script soon. I was just wondering, when I'm finished, do i post it in the "Free For All Scripts" section? Or where?

im no member but i do have a dont to add: dont become a member to get all the benifites or member-only scripts

become a member to help others and help the community with your skills (member only scripts are just a perk to keep you happy):)

I'll add this too my favourites, i only feel 5% ready to submit as a member

still a lil newbie chicken

Heh. Suppose I should try and get my SRL member status back, since it was strangely removed from my account >_>. Not that I'm complaining, I never really contributed anything here and simply being here at the beginning shouldn't entitle me to anything.

thanx i realy think this will help me

i know this is nooby, and i HAVE looked. by the way this is for later… how/where do you "submit an application"?
thanks
pizzownage

please pm me or post here

thanks for letting us no

i think this will help me later on
thank you!

Thanks this just inspired me to learn alot more about scripting A+++ :D

could sum1 tell me how to get my i.d. thing so i can do scripts?

this will help many newcomers so great job

could sum1 tell me how to get my i.d. thing so i can do scripts?

Just register yourself at http://www.stats.srl-forums.com/

this will help clear things up

thanks for this its really answered some questions for me

thank you for this tut

thank big help

This gives me some direction of what I should expect to do. Give credit, learn, question and contribute will be my start.

This is useful for me right now.

Okay now i certainly see why there would be an application process here and it is actually a rather good idea allowing current members to decide on the new ones. Yet, one problem i have been having is that for the past few days i have been downloading scar, didn't work, uninstalling, re-downloading scar, worked, read some tutorials, got SRL finally, got the includes done, did more tuts, finally got scar all set up. Then the script problem started… honest to god i think this may be one of the only sites (or good sites) for scripts on the internet. Now i am a dedicated bot user so i will keep at it till i make it work, but i think much of the community that would thrive here is turned away due to the difficulty to actually make SCAR work. On one hand this is good, turns away the people you don't need, but on the other hand, people who get frustrated who could have been great scripters some day may be turned away due to the lack of ease in actually getting SCAR to work for the first time.

I have been thinking about how to make this easier for some people. Perhaps a buddy system where new members are given a member to watch over them, get to know them, send them a PM once in a while and help with learning all about SCAR. This may seem tedious to some members but i think it would really help the community here giving it a more personal feel for new members.

It's just food for thought :)

Nice post though, i'm doing my best to get all the DO's and not the DON'Ts lol

i need an instructor pl0x

hey could someone tell me how 2 get my srl ID No.

hey could someone tell me how 2 get my srl ID No.

All I can access at this moment is Free for all Scripts, I originally came to this board to get some good scripts for runescape and for private use only, I was told that this forum had the best scripts.

I can understand the code a bit since I took 2 years of programming in school .vbnet and java.

I remember reading something about being able to see the banker/gatherer scripts after 1 week, but I don't see them. Do i need to write a script to see that section?

Nice guide, i think i'm going to apply next week.

nice thanks

thanks for posting this thread =]

thanks, this was useful :)

it's not exactly hard once you know the basic of it read beginer totorials

Thanks, I was wondering how many posts you needed, because i became a member a while ago, but i never got to posting because i quit runescape shortly after becomming a member.. but just rejoined back into it :D


edit: oops >.> ment to post this on how to become a srl jr member thread =P

ill read what you posted here though right now :D

thanks, I think i'll use these in the future…

I will try this!

yeah :P my script is coming underway atm its in beta testing and such this was obviously the first place i reffered to for the things i would need its awesome :)

Thanks Boreas :) This thread was really helpful, but wow there's a lot to do. I have a question: I see a lot of peoples "monsters" as things like Chicken to King Black Dragon, and i saw one that was a "lesser Demon", how do i raise from being a chicken, to something better? :D

thanks for this post ive been learning to script over the last few days as my friend said the scripts are better once you become a membe so i think ill raise my post count now befor applying so that i dont wast peoples time.

sorry i havent read the whole 10 pages lol, but did it say anywhere what a good ammout of posts is to apply?

Its HARD!

Im 14, cant really get a lot. Gonna take coding at highschool i think

Also.

DON'T apply with reflection unless its fully backed with colors <_< which is basically making two scripts.

K thx, I was wondering about it

I am a SRL member woot.

nice guide DUDE… =]

Question:

The script that I want to apply with is 1000+ lines :p can I jus attach it or do I really need to rap it in SCAR tags and post it in the form?

Attach, SCAR tags have auto scrolling.

From: Boreas
Attach, SCAR tags have auto scrolling.

I know, I applied already ;)

Cleared some stuff up. Was planning to make my own script, will definatly do it faster now.

Fayasmm

Good stuff!
I have quit playing Runescape for a while now, but decided to get involved again just to learn how to make scripts. The part that fascinates me is the scripting and the smart people behind it, not so much the playing. Its a mystery that i must solve…Ive just learned what needed to be done to really make a difference.
So thanks a lot!!! Give me a few months and you will hear from me again…

Ananda

Thanks!
puts things into perspective i guess, this along with the other guides on how to get into members..adding upto be quite important info, i know i have a low post count, so my chances arent as likely to get in, but i will try and submit my script (over half complete :D) when i get some more posts, and uhhm do i need to show more than 1 script, or would bt script i made be good enough if it shows sufficient and maybe more qualities needed in a script?

you only have to submit one script, but if it doesn't show everything that's needed, make another simpler script (or advance script, doesn't matter really, advance would be better I would think) that shows that you can actually do the parts that your missing.

thx for the tut. I really want to be a member now and learning scar/srl. seems like a lot of fun. :P
thanks for the effort in to you tut

Thank you for this guide. I was wondering how to become a member. I figured you just applied after 10 posts and a week. I was wrong though so thanks. Im reading lots of tuts because i want to make a range ogre killing script, then i will probably apply. Does anyone know any good tuts for this purpose?

That's what I did with some script I made after reading a few guides. I submitted it outdated. >_< Way to fail eh.
I felt so dumb for that… currently working on something good. ^_^

good point learned alot from this thank you…

great, but im just wondering, how long do the memb app poles usualy go for before they are either accepted/rejected?

depends on the number of votes and how they are distributed.

From: bionicle1800
great, but im just wondering, how long do the memb app poles usualy go for before they are either accepted/rejected?

Usually two weeks, but can change depending on the application.

How many posts is considered a decent amount before applying?

That doesn't matter, as long as you have sufficient scripting skills ;)

You actually don't have to post at all (although it would be weird). As long as you make your own leet script, (leet enough to become srl member), you can apply.

NEVER COPY SCRIPTS! We have like 100+ guys looking after plagiarized scripts, so don't even try. Because you won't be able to apply again after you've applied with a plagiarized script.

Also, please don't apply with 0 post count and no script, it gets really annoying

From: cycrosism
Also, please don't apply with 0 post count and no script, it gets really annoying

the fact that hes got 93 posts kind of makes that impossible…just putting that out there :p

very helpful i will take a look at those scripting tuts.

What sort of factors are reliant today for applying?

I am pretty confident the same factors that were required to join back when ever you are referring to are the same as they are now.

The post seems like it gets updated when something is needing change.

Hello

Could a moderator/vip member please promote me to an srl member?
I haven't released any scripts yet, but I'm currently doing a bachelor degree in software engineering, so I'll be able to release some pretty nice scripts for you guys once I get up to speed with srl.

Thanks

From: Boreas
DO write an SRL script. Don't write something else and say you will learn SRL after being accepted.

Point # 2 ^


Please read the thread I link you to, there is a reason I referred you here.
A lot of us are doing/have done various degrees in various fields, doesn't change the fact you need to apply with a script. :)

Please read some tuts and make a script and apply. There is no way to get into members otherwise.

Well this is unfortunate haha, I don't really have any interest in learning to script or any of that. If this is a botting community you could profit a lot more off selling srl memberships, but there is no way your going to do that. This is almost like becoming a player/forum mod on any site, its hard to do and really not worth the time. Honestly, I would be happy to help with any and all bugs I have with scripts, but in no way do I have the time to write/code (whatever the lingo is) one of my own.
But, some high post count forum camper will tell me, it isn't about making money and the primary purpose of this forum isn't runescape botting. Just saying :/

Hi, I'm a high-post-count-forum-camper. Money in relation to everything turns anything corrupt. This is much like politics. We have an 'Innocent' community here and we do what we have to so that we can maintain it. Powerbot and the like are and always will be corrupted cesspools due to that fact.

I believe I got in to SRL members on attitude alone. You don't always need an advanced script to get in.

Hi.. so im interested in Programming.. and im thinking mabe i should start learning by doing these things.. Im really excited to do this. buts its very late tonight.. so ill start tomorrow..

Oh alright, thanks.

I know its been 18 days since last post, and I do not wish to encourage grave digging and yes I have used the search function before asking.

Im curious as to where to find this Driger's Tutorial.exe? Can someone please pm me a link because i'd really love to learn scripting at my own pace and in my free time throughout this semester of college!

P.S if anyone would offer help a all pm's are accepted and appreciated :)

Thankyou!

Thanks helped alot bro, hopefully i will become member.

I find it a little contradictory that you have to be able to write a good script to be an SRL Member.

I understand the rank itself and the way you obtain it. But wouldn't it make more sense for it to be a "Scripter" rank rather than "Member"?

I might have interest into learning to make scripts, but the day I will release as script is far from now. So the thing I don't understand is; You need to be good at writing scripts to have access to more scripts?

Now don't get me wrong, I love the idea of exclusivity and sharing. But I find it a bit contradictory that you need to be able write scripts to have access to those scripts. Wouldn't learning to be able to write good enough scripts defeat the purpose of trying to find better scripts in the first place?

Also, the post count. I don't have much to say about that but I can say that even if I do learn to script and be able to write script that aren't too bad, I would never spam here. You can clearly see when a new member is posting just to post something and raise his post count, and that's not adding anything either to the community or to the thread they reply in. But they're encouraged to do so. I've been in the botting community for quite some time, with Scar when there was no such thing as s.m.a.r.t. and you had to manually pick every color needed by the script. Then with Rsbots until now. I don't know if I'll ever invest enough time here, but maybe.

I'm not asking you to change how things work or to make me a member myself (even changing restrictions I still barely have posted here). I don't mean to be aggressive if that's what it sounded like, I'm just curious. The concept doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

The rank of Member is not solely for "being able to access better scripts", it is for reputation. As a Member, I know I can trust other Members. Many important threads are created in the Members(and above) sections regarding the welfare of SRL and future updates to the include as well as the site. Many Members contribute to the updating of SRL and fixing bugs, that is the reason for the "scripting ability" requirement.


We do not require just the ability to script, one must also be a friendly/helpful person and have the general good of the community as their interest. As for the post-count, that is where it comes in. Higher post-count to us, means that you are an active person in the community and contribute quality material. Several members like to check the content of an applicants posts to determine if they are "spammy" or "helpful", a helpful person will more than likely have a better shot at achieving the rank.

Yes, that makes sense. I wouldn't say Member scripts should be less restricted or that the member rank should be easier to achieve. I wouldn't be able to find a compromise myself. But it would be nice if there was another way for users to contribute other than writing scripts.

You can contribute by being a helpful person. In rare cases, people have been granted Member status without a script for just being an all-around good person. The reason we keep scripts in our section is that they are almost always easily-abused. We, as a community, do not support the mass amounts of raping and pillaging that other Bots have done to Runescape, and we would prefer to keep our impact to a minimum.

There are about ten scripts in members that work well. Pat has made two of them :rolleyes:
Memebers status is more about rank than scripting ability. The reason for the lack of scripts, is that any member could make any script they wanted to, so many have bulging private files!

Maybe I should start trying to make my own then. That's going to take some time though, haha.

Thanks, this was usefull !

Although, technically.. you don't need to know how to script to become SRL member.

Do you have to learn how to make a script to become a member? Because ill love to become a member but to be honest I really suck at scripting and always have. But i like to think i can help people out another way some how. Please let me know if its a "must" to make a script before getting accepted.

Yes, you MUST make a script to become a SRL Member.

Alright no problems i will try and learn in the future, but for now ill just continue helping in any way i can.

Thank you.

It wont take that long. About a week ago I started looking into writing scripts. I watched a few of Yohojo's Tutorials and I can write a basic script that chops logs and some what banks them. My current project is to make a Shilo Village Fisher.Who knows maybe in the next month I will be the top script writer. But thats a lot of work, there are many amazing "Scripters" here.

Is multiplayer and walking necessary in an application script?
Because i'm thinking of applying in a week or two, and my script is just a herb cleaner; it has antiban/antirandom/stats, but not multiplayer and walking. I suppose I could write two scripts, though.

Multiplayer isn't required, but walking is very important. You will most likely not succeed with a herb cleaner. Make sure your script shows good understanding of the SRL include and shows you're capable of using TPAs, ATPAs, DDTMs and bitmaps to navigate yourself through the world of runescape.

So I should make something like a woodcutter/banker instead? Would that work?

People, please refer to this post for a more in-depth guide on becoming an SRL member which will most likely answer the question you want to ask. :)

Whats the gain if I become a member? I always thought I'm already an official forum member until I see this thread…

There's no point if you're coming to Members for scripts.

Not sure if you are talking about the voting. It's a 14 day vote period. Generally it is okay to update your application with more scripts if someone is expecting you to do so in order for them to decide their vote. However, please avoid putting up scripts that are unfinished/ wont compile. Be professional about what you choose to present to the fellow members. For example I would expect to see work which qualities are consistent in general. Just don't throw some random things that you know won't get you through, and you should be fine.

If your application is unsuccessful, the staff will close the application and let you know after how many weeks you can reapply. Usually it is 4, but sometimes a different timeline may be prescribed and you should follow whatever is said.

I would not even consider putting up scripts that cant compile/ unfinished. I only asked simply because the script I submitted is continually getting better and better by applying new techniques I learned. Thank you for reply to my questions.

Just bookmarked. Will help me.

nice. but i dont think getting to know a scripter is the best way to go about it
if the scripter is good, then it should be a go.
