SRL Archive - Outdated Tutorials

Ok, this is a guide on how to setup scar with all of the options.. Reflection.. OpenDevSVN.. Subversion etc

I might add screenshots, depending on demand

I am going to be using Tortoise SVN because it is a lot better.
ok lets start.

Downloading Scar

First: Go to Freddy1990.com
Then: click Scar Free Download
Next: Scroll down and download the Normal Version
Click run.
Install it normally like you would another program.
Open Scar then File > Download SRL

Setting up Tortoise SVN OpenDevSVN

Go to: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
And download what you need.
Then install it normally.
Now go to your Scar folder > Includes
Delete everything in Includes
Make a new folder called SRL
Right Click on SRL (inside your includes folder)
and click: Checkout
A box should come up, there is a field saying something like: Url Repository.
Put in this field: http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl-opendev/
Then click OK.

Setting up Tortoise SVN SRLRepositorySVN

Do the same as above but…
In the Url Repository field put:
http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl/

Getting Reflection
Go into Scar *.** > Includes > Srl > Srl
Then create a folder : Reflection
Right click it > Checkout
Then in the Url of Repository field put:
http://scardevreflection.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

SRL Dev Rev THROUGH Scar!
OK first you need scar 3.12 or above.
Next you need to download Subversion:
Subversion]
Install it.
Now go to your scar folder and do:
Right click>
New>
Notepad/word document>
Name it: SVN.ini
Press enter.
Now open up SVN.ini
and copy and paste this:

[SVN]
Link=http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl-opendev/

Save it.
Go into Scar>
Tools>
Options>
SRL Download>
Subversion Repository>
Now click Checkout.
Now whenever you want to update the Dev Rev
just go
File>
Checkout
Done!

Getting DevSVN when you got error before
ok this is if you got errors while trying the other method.
make a folder on your desktop called SRL.
right click it and go checkout.
then put in the dev link (look above)
click ok.
then right click the SRL folder and go repository log.
copy all that is on the left into your SRL folder in scar
which should be empty.

Ok Your done :)

If this helped you. Help me by making some scripts and helping the community :)
If I have missed anything just say ;)
This is the 2nd of my tutorials by the way :p

After following this guide you should end up with

Scar 3.**\Includes\SRL\SRL\Core-Misc-Reflection-Skill

Hope this helped

T~M

Nobody like :(
Thats a shame :'(
Sorry

T~M

Don't ask for rep and nice.

Sorry, i was just reading other peoples so i though i should.
Sorry.
Glad you liked it though :)

T~M

IMO, rep begging is bad, I almost NEVER, ask for rep or give it out, depends on what situation.
Even if you have 20000 rep and your attitude is shit, I won't like you, you know ;).

OK good point. I will delete from the post ;)

T~M

That's a nice attitude ;).

Rep++.

Thank you for the rep :)
I hope this guide has helped you :)

T~M

Nah, if I actually needed this would be pretty lame, since I am SRL member.

No i know, but I was trying to be nice :)

No I know, but I was being nice :)

Fix'd

Now stop spamming and let people read this.

Note: there is also a SRL wiki which explains this.

T~M

+rep

YAY! this helped someone! :D
My goal is complete.
But more would be better :p
Cheers

T~M

people just dont like this tut because they probobly already know all this stuff =\ o well, still a good tut for newbs, or me =p

how do i Download the DevSVN
I dont get this and I read it carefully.
So i go to my computers then go to SCAR 3.20d then includes and then i right click SRL and i don't see the option checkout?

The right click and check out doesn't work for me (mabie vista's fault) but i found a way around it. Great guide anyways.

Cheers ;)

naryasha do you have tortoise svn?

T~M

i didn't before but now i downloaded it and still cant find the checkout thingy

Dude… Thanks.
+ Rep

naryasha do you have the right version. do you have x86 or x64 (x86=32bit x64=64bit i think)

T~M

The Man, might add that you SVN Check Out once and that they better remove the SRL folder and create a new one would be easier, if they want the Dev SVN.

OK Hermen done ;)
T~M

very useful, helped me re-install scar cause i'm sorta getting back into scripting :p

nice to know rubix

Error Can't make directory 'C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\Includes\SRL\.svn':Access
Error is denied.
Finished!

I don't know how to fix this…

it may be that the svn was down then, try again, if still not, i will update the guide in a bit.

T~M

I always get the CreateTPAFromBMP error. ALWAYS. Help?

Move your plugins.

Hey I came here from another thread you said to go to…. everything worked but do I have to move plugins?


I moved the plugins, didnt do anything because they were already in there. I got this error:

Runtime Error] : Exception: Access violation at address 697C14D3 in module 'Embedded_SMART.dll'. Read of address 0000033C in line 48 in script C:\SCAR 3.20\includes\SRL/SRL/Misc/Smart.scar

Line 48: result:= SmartGetColor(x, y);

Yes, just go
Includes>SRL>Move to plugins folder>Copy everything in there
Scar3.20>Plugins>paste
Hope this helps ;)

Line 96: [Error] (17541:14): Unknown identifier 'Mime_AnalyzeAnimation' in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\includes\SRL/SRL/Core/AntiRandoms/Mime.scar

this is the error I am getting

when I do the includes thing for reflection in and stuff I get:

Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SCAR
Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SCAR
Finished!:

Help please

This works for me yet I am still getting errors when trying to use powermining scripts.

I have trouble understanding how this all works.

I followed this guide and all and compiled the script and ran it and it either gets an error or it runs around and my guy doesn't mine he just runs around lol.

is the script outdated?

T~M

Excellent tutorial. Got me reflection in no time! :D

Rep++

Glad it helped :)

Try restarting, redownloading SRL, and going to an earlier revision.

If you've downloaded Reflection, it has its own plugin that you need to move. ;)

[[Note: This is caused by the use of a pointer that has been reset to memory location 0. This is bad. :p]]

when i click checkout for setting up tourtice i get this error:
Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SCAR 3.20\Includes\SRL\.svn':

is says because access is denied. (im on an administrator account in vista 64x)

Make it on your desktop then move it.

so make the slr file on the desktop and check out there? then move it in?

edit: nvm i got it. thanks

hmmm… ok whenever i try to run a script i get this:
Line 214: [Error] (214:1): Unknown identifier 'HowManyPlayers' in script C:\Program Files (x86)\SCAR 3.20\includes\srl\srl\misc\users.scar

. i checked and the file is there but it has a red exclamation point on the icon.

I get the same thing as putnam11 access is denied

Right click the desktop, Checkout SVN.. use the link (in the first post) and name the folder SRL. Then move it to C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\includes\ (Will be Program Files(x86) for Windows Vista 64bit OS). Then you should be able to use SCAR with SRL scripts. For your problem, alexrocket2, try right clicking your SRL folder, and do SVN Update. I haven't seen that error in ages so I don't recall how to fix it. If SVN update doesn't work, then delete SRL and redo it. :]

I have 32 bit Operating System… I keep getting

Command: Checkout from http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl-opendev/, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\Includes\SRL\.svn': Access
Error: is denied.
Finished!:

go tools > options > firewall (there is 2) put them on allow all > close scar.
look at the end of the tut I have updated if you get errors.

T~M

i did all this but i still get an error? :S i get this
Include file C:\Users\basse\Documents\SCAR 3.20\includes\SRL\SRL.scar does not exist.
Include file C:\Users\basse\Documents\SCAR 3.20\includes\SRL\SRL\skill\WoodCutting.scar does not exist.

Include file C:\Users\basse\Documents\SCAR 3.20\includes\srl\srl\misc\NewAutocolor.scar does not exist.
Failed when compiling


what do i do?

You didn't do it right, and if you did, then you have the folder in the wrong spot.

I did what you said THE MAN but they are already set that way

add my msn. [email]destiful@hotmail.co.uk[/email]
i will talk on there. otherwise we are just spamming this thread up.

Umm all the "Unable to creat blah blah blah" error's solutions is… Run as Administrator!!!

thank you for this i book marked it, right now the freddy site is down =[

First of all, thank you for this tutorial! I really need it!

Sorry, I'm confused by the wording. Maybe I'm just stupid.

Confusion #1:
When you say to delete contents of the Includes folder, I deleted the contents of the first, larger includes folder. I just wanted to verify that that is correct, since there was also another folder called Includes within that main Includes folder.

Confusion #2:
It says "Do the same as above but… In the Url Repository field put:"
What? I've already CheckedOut the SLR folder. It won't let me do it again with a new URL. The only SVN options I have for it are Update and Commit. And some other settings options.


HELP. I haven't used Scar since it was simple!

#1 Open the main includes folder and Delete everything inside of it. You should have 1 main includes folder that is empty.

#2 Either checkout with the open Dev url or the SRL url. There is a thread on here with the difference between the two explained in it.

Thank you cripsta! I guess I haven't lurked enough yet. I haven't heard of them before today :/

Everytime i press File to download SRL i get this error:Cannot open file "C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\Includes\SRL\.svn\Entries".The system cannot find the file specified. I Dont know what to do

"Setting up Tortoise SVN SRLRepositorySVN

Do the same as above but…
In the Url Repository field put:
http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl/"

this could be more specific… You can't checkout the same folder twice. help?


EDIT: OH. I was assuming this was another step, not another option. THANKS! great guide! =)

I don't get it. On the part that says

"Setting up Tortoise SVN SRLRepositorySVN

In the Url Repository field put:
http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl/"


There is no option i can find to checkout

i try to do that checkout thing and i always get
Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.20\Includes\SRL\.svn': Access is denied.

Read the post above you.
That is a different option (SRL Repository SVN) instead of (SRL Dev SVN)

From: V Macro V

OK try my new method at the bottom of the guide ;)

Updated for people who want to update the Dev Rev through scar.
SRL Dev Rev THROUGH Scar!

Finally got this sorted, god its alot more complex than it was a few years back :P
Thanks alot ++rep

I am a little confused by this part:
Setting up Tortoise SVN SRLRepositorySVN

Do the same as above but…
In the Url Repository field put:
http://www.villavu.com/repositories/srl/

By "do the same as above" do you mean to delete everything in the includes folder AGAIN and then make the SRL folder, do the checkout and then type in that new repository?

I'm so sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I am really new to all of this.

That is for the SRL repository SVN.
If you have done a step before then you are done.

BTW for people who may want to know, I am updating my guide with a video for each section.
Hope you appreciate it may take some time.

Okay, for some reason when I download SCAR, it won't open. It says something like:

"Unable to Execute file:
C:\programfiles\scar3.22\scar.exe
Createprocess failed; code 2.
the system cannot find the file specified."

Thanks for the tutorial mate, going to try and set it up asap.
