SRL Archive - Help

I've been reading some tutorials about how to get it, but some of them explains different. In other words, I just wanna clear some things up hah.

Reflection?
Can I use reflection, or?

Bitmaps?
Do I have to use these? Some say that it's required?

Posts?
How many? average?

Rep?
Not sure, but I thought I saw something about reputation?

And last question, does the script itself got to be something useful? or could it be a "Nose picking & bogey eater"?


Hope this doesn't count as asking, or stupid questions :(

Im not sure but from what i have read

Reflection can be used but has to be complex as its easy to fall into just using it with out fail safes

Bitmaps, i think so.

Posts no idea

Rep, does not really matter its whats in your posts that matter

Not usefull but show you know the SRL include and use it well

However im not sure and not a member :p

You have to demonstrate you know how to use color.

You have to show you know how to use Bitmaps or DTMs/DDTMs.

Posts: Be active, or else people will vote no.

Rep: I don't think it matters, but don't take my word for it.

Yes, the script (afaik) must pertain to runescape and do something useful.

Reflection is fine, as long as you don't use it for everything. Some SRL Members don't like reflection at all, and will vote no when they see the {$i Reflection/Reflection.simba} line, but most will look at the script as a whole.
Bitmaps is not required, but using them shows that you know how to use them and that's always a plus.
I've seen people get SRL Membership with as little as 20 posts, and I've also seen people get SRL Membership with 700 posts, so postcount doesn't really count in this case, I'd say.
A good reputation is always good (Not talking about reputation count or how many rep balls you got). Make some friends, be friendly and show interest towards making this a better place, and people will start to like you. Lots of members have gotten SRL Membership by just being so friendly that other SRL Members have voted yes simply based on attitude and without even looking at the script. :)
The script can be anything, really. People who vote aren't really looking at how useful it is, they are looking at how you code, how your logic is and so on. I rarely test the script or try to make it compile before voting.

No questions are bad/stupid by the way ;) Posting only makes you seem like a person who cares and who wants to learn ;)

Good luck, and remember if you get stuck; Don't hesitate asking! :)

I know a bit delphi, and this looks just like it?
Is it the same?

Delphi and PascalScript are indeed very alike. There's some small differences, but if you know one of them, you pretty much know the other too

DTM/DDTM/TPA/Walking/Multiplayer in a script, and I'd say you are pretty much set ;)

There is also a script/app on the forum somewhere[can't remember who made it], but it assesses your script and gives you an idea if your script is ready for members. Not to mention, before you apply post your script on the forum somewhere and ask for feedback, and this should almost guarantee you the SRL membership :)

Then I only need to learn the include?
I got two hours freely, do you think that'll be enough to apply for SRL Members?
With a finished script? :O

I doubt that would be good enough, but based on your past experiences I'm not sure :P

Make a script and ask a SRL Member or post about it if he could personally review it for you if you're unsure if it's good enough or not.

When I first applied for SRL Membership, I used quite a lot of time to make a script I was satisfied about.

A good script is about 700 lines, but I have seen people getting SRL member with less, though.

The script that got me in was roughly 1200 lines, if I remember correctly… I think that's 2-3 years ago or so…

Probably not a script that will get you into Members. It's better to release the Script and get other to help you with making it better. If your members quality after having released a script. Trust me when I say someone will tell you. Myself as well as others have told newer members that they should apply when we felt they were ready.

E: The script that got me in was 0 lines. It was my pure Awesomeness.

You should not create a script just to earn members.

You should create a script because:
1) You want to automate that task in Runescape,
and
2) You want to help out other people to automate it on SRL.

If you try to write a script with the sole intentions of making it for SRL Members application, you will have no motivation and it will be a terrible chore.
