SRL Archive - Bot Information and Spottings

1) The Basics.

When you create your RuneScape account you are asked where you live. Have you ever thought that they might use that to check some autoing business ? I'll explain further.

Never EVER auto with a script, unless its been tested, people have given proggies and such.

However, be gentle and get some dummy accounts to test scripts on, this might get you the SRL Tester cup and you will be recognized in the community.

[16th August Update]

If an update in RS which affect the SRL library (or whatever bot you use actually) was to happen you should not stop using the account(s) you macro on.

Keep playing on them, doing what you usualy do macroing while still varying what you are doing.

It is of course, suspicious if after an update which breaks some main functions in SRL (the flag update for example) some players stop playing until the functions are fixed.

2) When should you Auto ?

This is one of the main things in this tutorial/guide. When should you auto ?

The answer is : when you would play normally ! With S.M.A.R.T it is possible to do that whilst doing other things :).

Do not regularly auto at night, or when you're in school (since jagex asks for age which might [again] play a role in their Auto detection system). You can auto until late, like modify a script to stop after a certain time or so, that would be more "human looking" than if you autoed a night straight.

The breaks / sleeps incorporated in most of the scripts are not enough for overnight autoing.

Also, sometimes, randoms in SRL fail. This plays a VERY important role in Jagex's autoing detection system. When you are in school or sleeping, the random handler might keep clicking or looking for an object ! Whilst, if you are there and regularly checking the progress of your auto, you can stop this.

I often modify scripts to play a sound when a random is found, that helps me to know when a random is a found, and then, I look if it successfully solves it. If not, I pause the script and solve it myself.

3) How should you auto ?

You should auto as humanly as possible, meaning respecting the time (NO ONE PLAYS 10 HOURS STRAIGHT ! [except maybe during the week-ends]), taking regular breaks by sleeping methods, have good anti-ban, quite fast MouseSpeed…etc.

Do not auto the same thing all the time, it is not realistic to everyday for a week, auto lets say, flax picking, a real player would get bored ! And do something else, like minigames.

You have to play on your account too !

Try To always auto with 3 or more characters with regular and frequent switches, this will decrease the changes of you getting a random, thus reducing the chances of you failing it, thus reducing the chances of you getting banned.

You must NOT neglect ANYTHING while autoing unless you do not care about your character.


4) Effective antiban.

Uneffective antiban is a main reason of why accounts get banned.
If you are going to script, you gotta know where/when to use your antiban,how,and maybe, make your own antiban as I personally am quite unsatisfied with SRL's own antiban, but that's just personal (devs gonna headshot me…).

To find out where/when to use your own antiban, record yourself playing normally and find out when you do movements with your mouse, change windows, browse youtube… etc, this will help alot for human-likeness.

Antiban when walking can be good, however, what can also make a factor in bans, is when you stopped walking, and the antiban is still going on.

To prevent this to happen you should experiment diverse stuff with FFlag and such to make the antiban stop when it gets close the the flag.

When playing, you often move your mouse out of the RS Client to do other stuff, like typing something in MSN, checking other stuff out and such, this could be simulated as antiban (I'm making one to chat in MSN with a bot) and would, I believe be very effective.

SRL's own antiban only does things INSIDE the client, which is one of the main reasons of why I think its not good.

I'm still working on the antiban part.

This is still under construction, please suggest things.

Is using a script that takes a total to a 1 hour break per 3-4 hours good for overnight/ school autoing. (split up).

Be careful though, note the things I said about the location of where you live you gave when you signed up and your age… They would know you should be in school.

Oh ! He's maybe sick…

Sick 15 days straight ? :O

This is all common knowledge for most people.

Never EVER auto with a script, unless its been tested, people have given proggies and such.

This isn't exactly true because you should always test a script yourself regardless of other people progress reports and how satisfied they are with the script. Always test a script yourself because, for me atleast, certain scripts just don't work the way I want them to and even if one person thinks the script is amazing etc. it might not be the best for you.
Don't just go "Oh *User* likes it so I might like it too"

However, be gentle and get some dummy accounts to test scripts on, this might get you the SRL Tester cup and you will be recognized in the community.

That made me laugh.

I would have rather seen something more in-depth and detailed. Good basic strategy anyway. :)

Make it so like if you use mainly for school autoing, to make an account in +(5-9) hour from you timezone… So if like you say they check times, you should be done with school or something at that timezone.

I said that people should have dummy accounts ready for script testing.

People aren't that stupid, to look at one guy's post and say "WOOT LETS AUTO", they would read further comments and if most of them are good, they'd try the script out :)..

Well seriously, I might edit that out, it kinda looks stupid now that I'm reading it but its true.

Still in construction as I said.


NOTE THAT MOST OF THE THINGS SPECIFIED IN THIS GUIDE ARE MISTAKES I MADE WHEN I WAS A TOTAL NEWCOMER.

I have neglected 3 autoers. all banned xD.

Yagex loves mea tm lol. Unbaned my previous main (15m wc xp =D), got 99 wc, cook and fish ona an other acc no bann at all. :p

Very nice guide, can't wait till you finish it all :-)

Nice guide but still I had a 32 hour proggy with sleeping every 8 minutes and didn't get banned :p

Great guide, its what's needed for the little folk! :)

18 hours straight!?!?!?!?!

Mhmm. Or longer. And after that I watch tv for a few hours. I'm just not someone who likes/needs to sleep ;D And I can level really fast. :p

(I usually play FPS games like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory/Left 4 Dead too.. ^^)

Thanks.

Oh and Bebe, I forgot to add, when I see the amount of people Overnighting, I think that this is not common knowledge, or that they do not really care about their accounts.

Thanks to all who have repped me and commented and suggested things for this tutorial, I am continuing it.

Thanks.

Sorry for double post :

Added antiban part, still under construction…

C'mon man, I do care about my accounts, but I still overnight. I know the risks and stuff but I've never been banned with overnighting, just with a few silly scripts that didn't even run 30 mins xD
Loot at my tank, 100% botted and 0 bans/mutes.

I'm sure you do care, however I find you very negligent of the risks… Well safe scripts used too so :p.

Sorry for double post :

Added a little note that you should auto with 3+ players and not solo.

My randoms always fail =P should I be concerned? I haven't been banned yet so yeah.

Read the "Why nobody gets banned" thread in this same section.

Good guide. Not gonna lie, I overnight all the time. Gotten 99 Woodcutting and 85 Mining. Probably not the best idea, but I haven't been banned. Maybe Jagex loves me. :p I don't know. Anyway, reading through what you said made me laugh a few times because I definitely don't do half that stuff. Maybe I should care more, who knows.

Anyway good guide. :)

Added a little noobish note in Basic section.

Nice guide, can't wait till your Finished..

I like how you mentioned that it matters what time of the day you bot.
I never really thought Jagex would notice if your account is playing when you should be sleeping.
But it does matter!
I think this is how one of my good accounts got banned ><".

I read something like this on rscheata forums, I should have posted it here.. it was really indepth.

Good guide, but as title says most of it is common sense. But it is great for nubs lol

Thanks for this :)

thank you for this very useful guide.

learning to auto correctly is often taken for granted as some player just want gold fast, this is very informative and useful

Yeah I thought of it since all guides I've read didn't talk about it :).

I recently picked up scripting / autoing again. Going to build this up, but first, the 30-39 man army on the raising ! :)

Wow very detailed guide. Learned alot. This guide may save a account or two of mine

I don't think they whatch location you give on signup but more reasonable would be to get it from IP. It shouldn't matter that much because peoples can live on night like if they got no work or special work.

If they are watching time, as they propably do, they should detect things like sleeping etc.
