This is based off my Fast Fighter to help those who are completely new. It will show you how to pick colors off the client and be used in a script.

1. After pushing play SMART pops up, shortly after a form will as well looking like so:


Note #1: This is a paste feature I added to allow you to paste from the computers clip board. (more info below)

2. Close the form for now and log in next to the NPCs you will be fighting.

3. After I click on the Color Picker tool (pointed at below) the screen will freeze and you will be able to take your time picking a color on screen.

Note #2: This is what the color picking tool looks like moving it around. Notice I'm picking a color off the scorpion. Hint: Try to get the most unique color off the NPC you will be fighting, one that shouldn't be mistaking in your surroundings.


4. After picking 2 or 3 colors copy them from the debug box as show below. This will place it into the computers clip board.

5. Hit play once more to get the form back up.

6. Once the form is up hit that Paste button I mentioned on Note #1. You'll see the colors you copied earlier in the white space as show below. Copy the colors and enter them into the NPC Color boxes.

7. Notice my Color Tolerance is set to 8. Lower the better if you can, if the NPC starts to not be detected raise it little by little. Start at 1-2 tolerance and work your way up.

Great guide. How many colours do you suggest we need to create accurate clicking?

Great guide. How many colours do you suggest we need to create accurate clicking?

Hoesntly most script now-a-days don't require you to pick any colors at all, they are all autoclored, but a script such as the one used in the example fights ANY monster so it can't really autoclor which is why you must pick colors. As you can see in the images the script only allows you to pick 3 colors, so 3 in this case would be the answer.

It's really nice, it worked for 4 years and now you're updating it again

No shii. I already requested it like a month or more ago.

ok im a noob dont h8, but when i click to choose a color it doesnt go inside the rs window it just stays outside of the client

It freezes the screen, so you have to have RS visible when you click that icon.

great guide! also your fighting script is awesome!

Thanks alot!

No it actually is the opposite. The higher the tolerance the more things it will click on. The lower the tolerance less things will be clicked. The lower the tolerance the better but you need some tolerance because some monsters have different colors and you want to include them all in your color choices.

Help me, i just today started this bot and i dont know how to fix this error. Failed to press on npc, mouse cursor is moving but dont press left button then target is under cursor.

Best Guide for Newbies but what does STAT SRL mean and what about attacking style.

While I actually did put in a npc name and put in 3 different colors of 1 npc.

Any Help?

it wont let me click on the colour button? what do i have to do?

I'm running Mac OS X Lion. When I click the eye dropper for the color-picker the entire screen is filled with black, meaning that the only color I can choose is also black.

Is there an alternative method of acquiring the color code? Could I use an external color picker to find the color and some how convert the code to something simba can use?

Thanks.

Does anyone have the colours for Moss Giants?? When I click on the colour picker it wont let me use it on the in-game screen, only the simba window. Cheers

How do you get RS visible? Since my Simba screen will not minimize at all (arrows in corner do not appear either)

Press Ctrl + B in the simba window.. it'll resize.. Move it so that the rs screen is visible… choose your colours.

Name and colours were given, what am i doing wrong?

how do you get it to eat food?

Just tried this beginners tutorial out, I was happy to see I can program to an extent :3

Will attempt the "Tutorial for Intermediates" thread out soon! :-D

I can't get the proper colors for a chicken, can somebody help me with this?

Mines all working fine, but can u make the bot loot the target somehow?

ROFL also my bot keep attacking the milking cows in lummy, it gets stuck for about 10minutes then a killable cow walks past and he locks onto that.
>.< i couldn't stop laughing when i saw it

I have noticed most replies are about help.

I have ran this bot and it is running great killing goblins for me thanks!

Thanks, going to be hitting to 99's this month!

if you can't get the color picker to the rs screen, make sure your SIMBA is is not maximized, it is just a window you can move around.

can i use it in a private server?

Another good way would be to SS the mob with printscreen and pic the colour from it on paint.

man it just point on the monster and it did not clivk on it

please help

Hey this script pops up that box, i then close it and click the colour picker, but then when i put my cursor over the chaos druid, it does not show anything
any help please or team view

I just started using Simba, like literally 30 minutes ago. I'm using this script at the minute.. I'm going to leave it going for about 6 hours, I'll check back in the morning.

Getting 30k exp/hour at the minute.

To get more accurate colours and see where that colour affects you can use ACA although not actually made for this does work good i find.

I cant pick the color? everytime i click the colorpicker SMART minimizes How do I fix this?

thanks for the guide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have had no problem acquiring the form data but when I run the auto fighter it only kills 1 flesh crawler then spends the rest of the time clicking on the ground in the SS. I find that funny bc each color I select is majorly made up of brownish green (for the stripes on the flesh crawlers) and the floor in the SS on that level is beige. Tried with high and low npc color tolerances, same shit. Any ideas?

posted wrong at first lol. i see nothing, no pics link nothing.
