POMS aims at providing a way for mutliple people to collaborate on scripts

so far we have

A pretty good essence miner
25% of a tutorial runner.

What I'm (we're) looking for is:

• Active scripters
• Script ideas (i.e. Tutorial Runner, Essence Miner ect.)
• Other productive comments, suggestions, and views.

Current contributors

• IceFire908
• J_Pizzle
• Tniffoc
• r!ch!e
• Camo Developer
• RAM
• The Man
• mixster
• YoHoJo
• Bobarkinator
• MylesMadness
• NaumanAkhlaQ
• Quickmarch
• Home
• Cut em2 it
• Sandstorm
• Bumblebee
• Dub
• [-jesus-]
• jimmy_mac
• Zyt3x
• Timer
• ProphesyOfWolf

Everyone will be treated as near equals in the project creations, this will almost be like a public encyclopedia (wikipedia), except there will be some overhang to make sure things aren't to chaotic.

So far it has been decided that people will join the team by invite, and the threshold for joining will be relativity lower than MSI or SRL, but the quality will be scrutinized and overlooked carefully by myself and other main contributors. Abusers will be kicked from the project immediately. All projects will be entirely color based for the time being.

A googlecode account will be needed by anyone who wishes to contribute.


http://code.google.com/p/srlpoms/

Will be the project home.

I need everyone's googlecode account name so I can send invites or whatever. PM or post 'em.

http://code.google.com/p/srlpoms/source/checkout for instructions.

UPDATE BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Create a folder named POMS and use one of the links for checkout.

im interested but it cold back fire and alot of accounts could be stollen if people arent carefull

Hidden code in the script is not possible, shared passwords will be non-existent/ separate&private. All individual user data will be stored with some sort of data file on the user's computer rather than in the script. Kinda like my runecrafter where no actual passwords or anything are stored in the script file itself.

I like this idea, I'm interested.

I'd like to be in. But I'll be mainly working in object finding and color manipulation if that's alright. Good idea.

E: I have a googlecode acct if that makes a difference to any of you.

As mentioned, this will be similar to a public wiki, no one will have particular roles other than a few people for overview.

Will probably be necessary from everyone soon, if they wish to contribute.

Well, I have a fairly universal fishing script that's in the making, I may release it after Draynor and Karamja banking are finished. I found a really neat way of finding a fishing spot even though it's a bit mathy. If it comes out really cool, i may submit it to this project, but, that's only if I decide to make it a public script. (and if there is a need for it).

Would probably be best if that script was maintained by you for the near future, because I am considering starting off with an essence miner first.

On another note, I'm also thinking of a project name. So far I have

POMS (Pronounced Poms) - Publicly Owned and Maintained Scripts.

Just PMS (pronounced pee-em-es) Publicly Maintained Scripts

Good idea, but its like MSI, and msi almost always fails.

From: NiCbaZ
Good idea, but its like MSI, and msi almost always fails.

MSI is a big undertaking… basically started as a collective of different functions/procedures that could be used universally for different scripts, however the main draw back was that in adding all these extra procedures to the MSI include, it slowed SCAR down (mili-seconds, IMHO, not that noticeably) ..I always liked the ideas of having these functions available, so that we didn't have 5 different ways to scratch your butt..however, I also understand, by not making these universally available, it forces people to take an active role in developing new and individual ways of doing something in their script….

NiCbaz, I think it IceFire is going a step above and beyond to help this community with this idea, please try to keep posts positive and optimistic…if not, please at least take the time to try and explain why you think it will fail.

~RAM

BTW, count me in…busy with a few other projects atm, but I'll help with what I can…I'd like to hear other Admin's input,but seems the next logical step is…sub-forums, add to MSI or create new…I browsed over MSI, but see it isn't to active ?….

I am up for it :)

Although not a very active scripter, I would be more than glad to help with going over code looking for (possible) memory leaks and the like as the project gets bigger.

From: NiCbaZ
Good idea, but its like MSI, and msi almost always fails.

MSI targets too much, this is focused on individual scripts with a specific purpose, so this should be a hundred times easier and more efficient.

@RAM, the difference isn't milliseconds, it's 3000-10,000 mili seconds, that and MSI is just to large, scripts run a lot slower…


I guess I am going start a googlecode for a folder containing the needed files soon and post it here.

If you haven't done so, it'd be a good idea to register at http://code.google.com

I've had this idea for awhile, but I don't think just anyone who wants to help should be able to contribute.
I actually have about four hosted here: http://www.villavu.com/repositories/merlijn/WizzupScripts/

But they are still outdated, so yeah.

Good idea, but should be strict to who is allowed to commit.

Agreed with who should be allowed to commit. Someone might break it ;[, or do an ugly commit! Besides being scared that too many people will be on the team and scripts will get brokes because of st00pids, this idea is amazing :D. Count me in!

The Man and YoHoJo have been confirmed.

I guess we can look into the roles everyone, but for now everyone is comitters.

Yay :)
Umm, well tell me what to do :)

[email]richjs69@gmail.com[/email]

[email]mixster05@gmail.com[/email] is for me, though I don't see myself commiting much as I will be more of a feedbacker I think.

[email]hamlett.jp89@gmail.com[/email]

When I get time (Not for awhile) I'll help with this. Do not sign me up though.

This a small MSI, which since they decided to move from an include to a big script has failed. Personally it would work better for maintaining scripts, not making them. So if wizzups ess miner broke, with his permission "poms" could fix it.

I plan on being like mixster, but if I feel inspired I might commit.

I thought about that, but I'm more interested to try and see what this many people collaborating would come up with (from scratch), at least for now.

I'm going to add an essence miner to start on here in a minute.

Edit:Sorry double post.

Essence Miner is now ready to be worked on.

Yeah, sorry, its not that i want it to fail, it would be great if it did all work out, but there have been many multi script with multi people that didn't work, i was just staing that.

Will be awesome if this works out.

Come on guys, start adding functions and random crap that is useful to the Miner, I'll sort them out later but for now just start committing.

Oh what the heck, [email]mylesmadness@gmail.com[/email]

MylesMadness has been confirmed.

List of things I can think of we need:

Aubury Finder
Magic shop finder (MM)
Midway bank/shop (MM)?
Essence Teleported Location finder (East/west ect.)
Walking to mine (MM)?
Essence Source finder
Portal Finder

Ice, ill get to it later/soon.
All my accts are at chickens DOH!
1/2 Arr at chickens 1/2 are at the GE! Ill start this weekend!

So far for a background picture I have this http://srlpoms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/BackgroundPOMSEM.bmp

I made a logo, I just threw it together.


~Camo

You were looking for a form background.


491x244

Camo: I like it, but I think you should make the text more readable.

Ok, I can do that. Also, my logo is the same dimensions. I'll move the text up and make it easier to read.

~Camo

I'm liking, camo's but yea the text could be different and/or moved up to a place where the buttons won't be on top of it, (see RCrB background) ummm yea everything needs to be 491x244

Here are three more.

1) I was going for a gradient look, it looks decent.

2) Same font, just a simple black and white color scheme. My personal favorite

3) Was going for a scripted look, it's decent

Tell me what you think.
~Camo

I like #2 but the color transition on the bottom where it goes from black to silver really fast makes it impossible to make a good label color.

So far we have this


I like the text for 2, but it could be a little bigger and a little lower.

Here are two more, they look identical but the text in one is a little lower.

1)

2)

~Camo

idk…


Looks like something is off… like the title is too high

ROFL! Wtf was the point of posting two if text is just a bit lower? :p
EDIT: I like r!ch!e's better (sorry camo)
And then put some RC related thing on the border like this:

Does anyone know if there's a way to make a file on the SVN that can't be updated by anyone (the players data file) because right now people run the script for the first time they get an error cuz that file doesn't exist (it is created after the first script run)?

I tried doing something like if (not (FileExists)) then CreateFile… but I couldn't find a 'CreateFile' command :-/

Why not upload a blank file ?

From: r!ch!e
Why not upload a blank file ?

Because then people might save their players to it and then commit it by mistake.

From: IceFire908

Then have it not save in that folder. Maybe in scar root

From: MylesMadness

That defeats the purpose.

That defeats the purpose.

It solves your problem, while not effecting just about everyone who will use this

From: MylesMadness
It solves your problem, while not effecting just about everyone who will use this

No, it doesn't solve anything.

The problem is a result of the file not existing the first time you run the script because it needs to load, the reason it can not be added to the SVN is because some one might accidentally commit their passwords. If the script saved the settings to a different location the file would still not exist the very first time you run the script…. this is a small problem because it only ever happens once to the same person unless they somehow delete that file. I was asking if anyone knew a way for a blank file to come packaged with the SVN that could not be committed, your 'solution' would only complicate things further.

Added TeleportAubury , FindEssSource, and MineEss

Very nice, so what else needs to be done? Find the portal, then teleport out?

~Camo

Area detection and walking from the spawn point to the nearest mine is a huge one. Probably should use FilterPointsPie or ScanMM for area detection, walking… idk..

Added my two functions and did a little standards work.

Edit: I was doing some research and found out that if you ignore a file and commit the whole folder, that file doesn't get committed. The only thing is that the user has to do it themselves. I'm going to play around with it a little more and see what I can find out. Looks like you can lock a file so no one can change it. I'm going to try it and see what happens.

Edit2: Nevermind, locking is temporarily disabled. I added my SettingsExist function, I didn't know where to put it exactly so it's just in there waiting to be called.

IceFire, if you could look into locking a file by Admin then the problem would be solved. They would be able to retrieve it from SVN, but wouldn't be able to update that file.

Thats the thing, I don't know how… and idk if that function you made will work either… I'll test it when I get home, btw the path you made was wrong it's ScriptPath + 'Filename.BAT'

    SymbolAccuracy := SymbolAccuracy - 0.1;

  SymbolAccuracy := SymbolAcc;
  If Not MouseFlag(S.x, S.y, 0, 0, 0) Then

That's because you didn't test it with a saved script that actually had a file path.

From: Camo Developer
It's commented out, no offense but it's kind of simple :/

~Camo

Well for now it's completely ok for anyone to add anything to the file, after we have enough information/outline/needed functions we'll start making everything more complex and intricate. I commented it out because it wasn't really code moreso an outline.

The reason I am saying this, is because I want to encourage as much activity in the script right now as possible to get a large amount of useful code we can compile into a nice piece of work.

isnt simple sometime s the best thing cause it wont fail and its the exact same thing as the findabury with diffrent colors so comment that out if ur gonna comment out the mining thing

From: J_Pizzle
ya i know but if u llook at the findesssource its a good code

'FindEssSource' wasn't commented out.


UPDATE:

Added a bunch of junk, and TBH guys, you really need to start submitting stuff that is thoroughly tested and tweaked.

FindEssSournce, TeleportAubury, TeleportOut, FindPortal, WalkToShop… all fail like 80% of the time.

It's good code, it just doesn't consistently work well…

Don't know if I'll be much help, [email]quickmarch95@gmail.com[/email]

I also think it would be a good idea for scripts to have their own folder, so POMs Ess Miner would be in folder POMs Ess Miner, etc.

When I tested the FindPortal(); and TeleportOut(); it worked 99% of the time. I'll tweak them more I guess. I really don't know why they aren't working like they were, sorry bout that.

~Camo

Quickmarch has been confirmed.

I'll look into that folder thing once another script is added.

~Camo

You have to compensate for moving portals, changing worlds, moving aubury/covered up by other players. A lot can go wrong… it seems like everything only works when the stars aline.

While you guys are developing I suggest adding couple different procedures that do the same thing. However do this sparingly if one just fails to much remove it or mark it as failing in the repository. Sucks for the creator I know but if you want a well working joint script you have to give criticism and be willing to take it.

1. You can test the effectiveness of each of them
2. backup failsafes
3. In the end create one that uses the best of each for a well working procedure

And what Icefire basically said - things move. Consider any possibilities that your function will fail at. The most dynamic function is the best.

WalkInVEB, CheckPick, InitPlayer, MineEssence, FindEssenceSource all seem to work very well.

Find portal doesn't work at all… Aubury is pretty bad too. WalkToShop, WalkToBank need to be written/rewritten. Then after some tweaking/finalizing, the first beta version should be up and running. :spot:

Update:

Should now complete round trip, not quite ready for Alpha though.

The old one was poorly written/ organized, and it didn't work well. Naum said he didn't even test it. Your welcome to add onto that one edit or what not, but the old one had to be scrapped… it was just to important chunk of the script that needed to just plain work better. Believe it or not, that chunk of code has about a 95% success rate.

More importantly the banker/bankbooth finder needs help. SRL's open bank is horrible for VEB.

What needs working on?

Teleport out has occasional problems, finding the banker/bankbooth (MS) is complete garbage. Other than that everything else could use minor improvements.

But co-ord clicking is very detectable and can easily get you lost. I thought finding the ladder points worked fine, and having blind clicking as a last resort.

The old function was bad, you are welcome to add onto this one. Just make sure it isn't impossible to read like the last one is and is tested before it is committed unlike the last one.

That function you see is essentially the same as wizzup?'s essence miner and starblasters.

IceFire Could you make a list: What is not working or needs more work. Thanks

Its not clicking exact coords… or even close to exact cords every time, its finding a symbol and then clicking, symbols are always in different spots, and rx ry make it even more random… :D

I think he's talking about this

Walk(RandomRange(647, 649), RandomRange(133, 135), RandomRange(0, 5));

ect..

Home, everything is working. Just OpenBank and 'teleportout' aren't working very well, OpenBank needs to be completely rewritten, SRL's functions just don't cut it. Btw I still need your googlecode account name so I can add you to the commiters list.

Testing now… I'll edit in a minute, also I need your www.code.google.com account name

Edit1: still testing, Home has been confirmed.

Edit2: Committed for rev59, still need to work on openbanknpc skipping booths though.

UPDATE Rev62: Essence miner banking still needs lots of help!

Reorganized POMS into folders, started development on a tutorial island runner.

Update to REV 63.

Fixed Portal finding and made huge speed improvement to it.
Re wrote Banking ( Testing please )
Tweaked Aubury finding.
Tweaked Minor stuff.

~Home

EDIT: Opinions needes about changing WalkToshop, my opinion is that we remove instant click to shop symbol, because it will be time consuming to wait Aubury to come visible in MS and sometime it will click out of the Minimap.

I didn't test much, and wrote it in about 2 hours. I am dead tired, and tried to hold up to what I said :) I haven't done anything in SCAR for months, so I thought this was my
opportunity :p please please please test. It should work without having to move the mouse and check uptext etc. Gawd I hate it when scripts do that.

Edit: With more testing, it does well at finding, but occationally doesnt. It will never get wrong points though.
so something like

repeat
if (FindAubury(x)) then
begin
mmouse(x.x, x.y + 7, 0, 0);
break;
end;
until false;

would do, but of course with more fail saves :)

Starting to test…is the loads variable, How many loads it does before switching player, or how many loads before terminating player ?

From: RAM
Starting to test…is the loads variable, How many loads it does before switching player, or how many loads before terminating player ?

Loads are per round, meaning switch player while leaving active. Essence to mine is the max essence on that account total to mine.

Press play, forum pops up, you choose all options in there. Fryoof, I thought you disappeared again RAM! :D, but you didn't, just turned into a leecher! :p lawl.

@ YaHooJoe…duh der da der :p…I think I figured that much out:p….and No, I'm just not going to waste my time on any more trivial bs in the future ;)…I just couldn't decipher in the code, if it switched after each player and that was the total loads or if it switched after doing that many loads….

I set each players load to 5 and total to 100 mil…..

When I checked on the script, it said it was still running, with active players, and the report stated…

Displayed progress report.
NextPlayer
SwitchToPlayer(PlayerNo: 2, Active: False);
Player is not Active…
NextPlayer

but after waiting 10 minutes, with it still doing nothing…

Checking players locations revealed…

Player 1….standing in front of ess mound in SE corner, with empty inventory…

Player 2….standing in front of bank booth.

player 3 ….trapped inside room with anvil (with a full inventory) to the west of rune store.

player 4…standing in front of bank booth with empty inventory and no trips made.

player 5……standing in front of bank booth with empty inventory and it appears 3 trips made, although only 1 is stated in report.

That's weird stuff man, I don't know how that happened. Everyone else's displaying correctly.

Loads=Loads to Do before switch
Total Ess= How many ess to mine total
I believe, I asked the same question on MSN
:D <3 RAM!

My first two runs of the script were good, but now it's just acting like RAMs. I remember Tim0Suprem0's ess miner used to get stuck in the sides of the ess mine and go into infinate loops :D

Im interested in helping. I think i signed up for google code, let me check.

Added, ill do all the thread editing when I'm not on mobile web later

What you guys think about start to work with another script? Because Essminer is pretty much excellent, and if there comes bugs and stuff, we can fix them, but the main work is done :)

Alright, I think it's time we work on the tutorial runner. The essence miner is done all but an autoresponder. Are there any working account creators around?


Update:

Alright we need to transfer this:

http://srlpoms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Tutorial%20Runner/POMS%20Tutorial%20Runner%20%5B%20Run%20me%20%5D.scar

into working code… don't forget to update the rev number in POMSEM when you commit!

Added a lot of features…How do I update the rev number when committing?

~Camo

Open the ess miner and change the const rev number

Edit: Hey guys, Camo and I got a pretty good pre-alpha base and 25% of the overall coding done so let's get crackin! :)

Also @quickmarch, is there a way you can make the auto updater update the entire POMS folder?

Also, nobody forget to update the rev number in the essence miner when you commit!

I would like to help on tut runner if I could, but I think i need to be added to the SVN or something don't I? (if its full/no more people should be in it then i'll just let it go

googlecode = [email]mark_willms@hotmail.com[/email]

Just give me your google code account name and you're in :)

Edit: Done

Don't forget update before commit and change the rev number in the essence miner.

I really want to get the tutorial runner done by the end of the week, it's up to the part right after you oil the rags… everything from using the rags with the wooden pillars to end needs to be written… it's pretty much just pure code.. all the game info is included at the bottom.

First, could I join? I've been searching for this thread for a while lol.

Second, if you'd like, we could add my Dummy Curser in to the whole thing. I actually made it in the hopes it would be added.

I was also thinking about making a perpetual clay softening script. It would buy dry clays, then soften in the ge if it has less then like 100, else it would walk to varrock east and soften there. Then it could sell it in the GE for market price or whatever and repeat :D.

I've added you to the SVN commiters, just remember to update before you commit and update the rev number in the main .INI file.

Hold off on adding new scripts, I'd prefer you talk to me on MSN or AIM before adding new root folders… but it will definitely be considered and added at some point or another.

So, my script has been added to the repository =D. I think that a check for if someone else is casting on it (maybe through chatbox? Could use TPA finding, too..) would be necessary. I wrote my TPA function to return an ATPA just so I could run that through another function which would check which ones were being cast upon.

Latest SRL automatically includes Smart if you use {$define SMART}.. I saw that the essence miner had something similar implemented, so you might want to change that ;).

In other news, I'm currently restructuring POMS a lot. If you want any say on this now is the time to post.

The main thing I want input on is the Advanced Settings GUI Form.

There will no longer be any commit-able data, all external INI files for the settings. The form will be accessed through the local includes and called when a new 'Advanced Settings' Button on the existing Forms is clicked.

It will need to include

• SRL Stats ID (TEdit)
• SRL Stats Password
• RC Master
• AntiBanChance
• TakeBreaksEvery
• TakeBreaks (Checkbox)
• Play Random Sound (CheckBox)
• Use SMART (CheckBox)
• SMART Stats (CheckBox)
• SMART TPA Debug (CheckBox)
• DebugTPA (Checkbox)
• Reset To Defaults (Button)
• BorderStyle := BSToolWindow;
• A cool background maybe?
• And anything else I may have forgotten

Post some good screen shots/ .dfms or suggestions of what you think would work well and look nice.

Edit:

is what I'm going to use so far.

I saw theres a Rune Mysteries Quest runner in the works… Dunno how you guys planned that but if you want Footballjds gave away his unfinished RM quest runner back in May 2009… I checked it out and it compiles at least lol.. I might look through it and actually read it lol.. But prolly not for another few days, if anyone wants to check it out heres the Link
