We don't have one.
I know if we all put our heads and knowledge together we can make it happen.

This is one great and amazing tool that SRL is missing and would be a huge asset to everyone!

I don't know jack squat about how to go about making it or anything, but we are a scripting COMMUNITY, let's get our heads together and make it happen.

DISCUSS.

Would be nice to write it so it doesn't need to be updated (i.e. not based on gathering tiles, but getting the client information so the walker updates automatically when RS updates).

I was thinking if the Minimap flag disapears after you click a tile it will solve the nearest obstacle eg. Door, Ladder .

Teleports would be cool… so if you want to go to melzar's maze, if you have the runes in your inventory it will teleport to falador then go to the maze, not walk from varrock.

Please don't go around the world gathering thousands of tiles that you'll use to "find a path" through the world. It's a waste of both time and resources. Instead, consider modeling the world with a graph (with key points and spots for interacting with objects and teleporting) and using an area's collision map to walk through that area.

Anyone know how the guys at http://www.rsbots.net/ go about making their web walker?
Any way we can ask them for the sauce if it's closed?

Method is right.

I'm going to write a bytecode search for the 'groundblocks' array. Then we can easily rip the Dijkstra algorithm right out of the client, and come up with a short distance pathfinder. Zappacky wrote a great world walker back in 06/07 for ARGA, I'll have a look…

I thought we had like 3 web walkers? Isn't there a thread called web development or something?

i think YoHoJo wants to develop one that walks any where in Runescape. Eg. StrongHold to bank or Fist Of Guthix to Varrock ?

Any type of web walker should be able to do that.

iirc Powerbot has web walking now, so we could look at their code.
