SRL Archive - Discussions and Debates

Alright so, not gonna lie this is a little embarrassing to admit but I am having a tough time writing another script :). I guess a lot of his to do with the new things that I haven't dealt with because I haven't scripted with SRL before.

I'm sure a few people are familiar with my very first script "Flawless Fletcher" that was made about 4 years ago. It used Squig (GO SQUIG!) haha. Anyways, I've never really been able to grasp the multiple player setup etc. I'd also like to ask a few questions here.

The main goal of this thread is to find a simple, beatable task that will be up to par with SRL and their standards as well as being able to actually be USED by people.

QUESTIONS:
1. Does reflection require SMART or can it use a normal client?
2. Is SMART just used for running (multiple) clients in the background?
3. Is it basically necessary for every script to require multiplayer?


Now it's up to you guys. Please note I'm not completely incompetent, I do little things here and there with SCAR and I still have retained most of the information I had learned when I scripted before but not all of it. Plus a lot of the functions have changed, so that'll be different.

Ah! Also in addition to the script suggestion, could you possibly outline some of the functions needed? I'm completely in the dark on how things such as NPC's or objects (banks, furnaces) etc are found nowadays. "Back in the day" (haha!) it was FindObj or FindColorSpiral ;) so that'd be a good bit of help.

Next stop: tutorials.

Thanks in advance!

1. Reflection has to have smart
2. Its possible to run multiple smarts, but its not really set up to do so, Scar can do all autoing functions in smart so you can do other stuff on the pc while you auto.
3. No, but its greatly appreciated.

Welcome back. (Saw some posts by you)

Edit; Great reflection tutorial. best 1 i know :p Link

Actually I have previously read that haha!

I'm just not sure if I want to use reflection because it's such a pain to test when the client has to reload EVERY TIME!

with srl modding(I don't have a link atm) you can have it stay up.

Oh, interesting. However, I think I should do a little bit of color finding goodness because it's more challenging :P

Depending on the script. Reflection can be very challenging. Try a multi-hunter -.0 + supporting multiple traps…

Are you requesting this based on your own personal wants? :P

Maybe that's easy - but it doesn't sound like it, heh.

Abyssal! Long time no see. :)

Zasz and I are working on one ;D (Well, I shouldn't include myself. I'm just fixing small bugs/adding small things. It's his script.

No, its a script im working on lol its mega tricky. *Looks at signature*

Heh. Maybe I'll take a gander into the first script section and see what others are churning out.

Things are going well, I'd say!
The community has grown a lot. I think you'll find a lot of people you knew have left. The oldies that are still here have matured a lot, and as you've most likely noticed there are also a lot of new promising (young) members. :)

Try a farmer ;D I was thinking about making one (color for Junior members, only one patch per run, etc., and then reflection for members + multiple runs and stuff but I don't know when I'll get a chance). That'd be cool :]

Yeah I have noticed that people like Bebe, Squig (well he was gone a while ago), or Kane - they're all gone. I wonder if they're ever on MSN.

Yeah there's for sure new members all over :).
It'll be cool getting to know all of them.

(PS: your signature says you are WT's son? Is this for reals? I never knew that :P)

Nice to see you, I remember you from that BitmapMask tutorial, you have such a cool voice :sasmokin:

Bebe sometimes pops in and posts. And yes, Wizzup? is WTs son, and Wizzup? is also married to Bebe.

Hey Abyssal! Well you probs don't remember me but i remember you :)

Welcome and cookies for you!

Hey Abyssal, I remember you! :)
Probs don't remember me.
I'd love to get to know you :)
I say Color first Reflection Second IMO ;)

Heh, welcome back.

Perhaps tut island, first script section and reading through the include are your best options :p

Now-a-days the most used method of finding something is using TPointArrays and splitting them. There is a great tutorial on this by timer in the intermediate section
(TPointArray = array of TPoint)

Bank finding you would mostly used OpenBankFast or OpenBankQuiet (check /core/Bank.scar)

Kane and Squig aren't around much anymore. Bebe visits SRL on regular basis.
Yea, I am WT-Fakawi's son. :)

Haha, that's so cool, Wizzup.

Oh, good, I hope I can reconnect with Bebe! It's been years!

Oh dear, my BitmapMask tutorial? Haha! Thanks for the compliment. I'm sure my voice has deepened a bit since then ;).

Thanks guys! I'll add y'all on MSN and hopefully we can chat a little.

Do you want Squig and Kane here now? I can do that easily :D

Hey, Abby!

keyword TRICKY :O And its the support of handling multiple traps that makes it tricky…
