If you are reading because you found it yourself and thought, 'Hey, this might be useful…', then good job.
If you are reading this because someone (your referrer) posted a link, it means they were tired of saying the same thing over and over. If the link was followed by a number, then scroll down to that answer.
Read this.
And this.
#0 You asked, 'How can I be a Noob?', 'How can I stop being a Noob', 'Am I a Noob?', 'Why did he call me a Noob?', 'What's this talk about NoobPoints?', or you said something generally noobish
(Yea, I know, 0… but hey SIMBA counts from 0, so leave me alone! ;))
Bookmark this page, refer to it before asking a question.

#1 You either asked, 'How do I start to learn scripting?' or you asked a simple question that you could answer yourself, or you posted a crappy script and your referrer thinks you should go back to basics.
- Get Driger's tutorial.exe http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9VLU1PU0
- Press F1 in SCAR for help.
- Get Janilabo's Massive SCAR Learning Package Here
- Read through SRL and the manual.
- Read through tuts on this site. Like this one, and this one,and this one.
#2 You asked 'What do I do for my first/second script?' or you tried writing a harder script and your referrer thinks you should try something simpler.
It doesn't really matter what the script does, it's what techniques it uses. Clicking stuff in inventory is easy. Clicking stuff in bank is a little harder but still easy. Finding stuff on the ground is harder. Walking is harder. Therefore, something that just uses inventory, like an alcher is easy. Something that withdraws and deposits but stays at the bank, like a gem cutter, is a little harder. Something that looks on the ground, like a power miner, is harder. Something that does all this plus walking, like a cutter-banker, is even harder.
Also, modding existing scripts lets you focus on certain areas, and not be overwhelmed by the whole thing. Try using different methods of doing the same thing. See which method works the best in what situations.
#3 You are having trouble with SIMBA or SRL.

STRATEGICAL INFO #6 You asked about getting a script Look at this LIST, before asking in the REQUEST FORUM. Lot's of good stuff in there. Don't complain. It's free. Learn to script or buy one if you want something better. Don't beg for anything. If you can't get a particular script to work, post in that thread. Nobody is required to help you though. #7 You got a common error
