Tutorial Island Runner... Basic but long?

Of course, repeating tutorial island for a Bot Army can be hard. So, many scripters, including me, has tried to script a Tutorial Island Runner. The sad thing is, it will take hours and hours.
Hence, I am working on a project to bring all 1337 scripterz together & complete a Tut Runner.
For example, there will be 5 scripters working on the project :
1st scripter ) Complete till Underground area
2nd scripter ) Do till Bank
3rd scripter ) Complete till monks
4th scripter ) Finish Magic
5th scripter ) Fix Bugs…

Please post if you support.

Personally I dont care about a tut runner. It only takes 5 mins to run a Players through Tutorial Island, thus you can do 12 an hour, with dual login 24 an hour. So I guess I wont be joining in :)

iv done tutorial island 30 times, didnt hurt me
just do it once, and never worry about it again

There is already a pretty good Tut runner in the members section.

I've made the most recent edits to it, including a MaxStats option. If you just want to run straight through it doesn't take long at all. But if you want to max out your fishing/mining/smithing/cooking/wc at level 3 then it takes a little more time. I figure that you can level a lot faster on Tut island than in the real game. Woodcutting always takes ~7 swings to get logs. Fishing always takes ~2 attempts to get shrimps. Mining always takes ~7 swings to get ore. If you're out on the mainland it might take 4-5 times longer to do the same things, which adds up. So I added that feature to the tut island runner and let it do that extra 10-15 minutes of work for me, which saves maybe 30 minutes to an hour of extra work on the mainland down the line.

If you want to help on the SRL members' version feel free to contribute.

Since you think it's no use, why dont u help me run 100 players through tut?

If I thought it was no use, I wouldn't have spent all the time I did updating the members' version.

Having all the 'elite' scripters join in to write up a new tut island runner is pointless, since the member's version is already good. Putting more effort into that would give much, much better results than starting over from scratch.

And there is no good reason to have 100 newbie players unless you plan on autoing like a moron. Most people here don't support making throwaway characters and autoing on them non-stop until they are banned. That just makes everyone's scripts more detectable. Start with 5-10 chars and treat them with respect. Then go from there.

Hey RSCDB, I'm in. There might be one already out there, bt it would be fun to make one and even to make a team… I got a website up and running, all i need to do is make a team and we can start.

I'm all for team scripting, but only in specific situations, this isn't one of them. Scripting styles are too different. Even if you assign 1 guide per person or something, each section still has to be tied together with a common thread.

Do 2 per day while doing homework, you'll have plenty in a week. If you really need like 50, become a member and help tarajunky make the existing one better (there's also a couple other people working on tut runners).

well i personally like the idea for the purpose of learning
but why would it take more than one scripter??????
one should be sufficient
and yeah i am working on the project so when your done we can compare and critique each other and see how each can improve

Wish I had time to make scripts. Right now, what with filling out scholarships I'm trying to stay on task. Also I have been dedicating a lot of time to following the stock market. I am pretty interested in that.

I do not really care about rs. I think the scripting is fun. Hence I don't really play rs, except to script. I am considering trying to make one, learn the beginner stuff and work my way up, but then again it seems (from what I have heard) it is a long time consuming process.

Same here. RS is a dull, boring and mindless game with extremely sucky graphics. Heck, every good flash game could beat RS.

I script for fun, not for the sake of gaming. Even though I'm currently in the process of making a tut-runner (already past the cook :D), it's not one of my high-priority projects (making a statistics script rite now).

I don't play RS, therefore, I don't care about more players that have good skillz. Screw RS. Making pixelmoney is easy, even without scripting (well, to be honest, without macroers it wouldn't be).

But even so: I'm not going to join with other people to make a tut-runner unless it is solely for the purpose of giving ideas on failsafes, etc. and not code, because otherwise scripting differences will get in the way.

why would you want an army of bots anyway?

Just do it manually , the time it takes to get a fully working tut runner , you could of done tut island on all of your accounts 5 times over.
