SRL Archive - Who Are You ? Who ? Who ?

Hello, I used to play and script for RS quite a lot in the past. Quit for few years but i'm back now, only to find the the SCAR community dead? :(
Anyway did some research and found Simba to be the new program replacing SCAR? Read some tutorials here, they are really good. Just happen that there is an ongoing competition here: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89414? Hope I can participate and refresh my memories on pascal scripting :)

Yea, majority of the people who used to use scar are still here, the big include (SRL) was what people followed instead of the program running it, because they/we preferred all open source, and the scar coder didn't want to do that.. thus simba was born… and the SRL include is for simba now, and doesn't really work with scar as far as I know (maybe some of it does)

welcome back

I recently came back myself. been a member for 5 years im giving 110% this time. no excuses :)
I gotta give you mad props footy since my return I've been seeing you around quite often lately.
Always something positive from you. Wish you were here when i first started back in '07.
I can tell you've earned that helper cup.
I'm not one to kiss ass I just tell it how it is. some people don't like me because of that.lol

lol thanks, and yes freddy.. I don't really know what went down so I didn't go into detail or anything, I just know he wanted his scar to stay closed source

Wow, I was curious why I seen people bad mouthing him on other threads.
It really wouldn't make sense for him to NOT use open source.
What benefit is derived from limiting development like that?
That's actually pretty sad he got greedy.
So many devoted members thinking outside the box.
why cut them off like that?
*shaking my head*

Since he was the only one who had access to the source code, the community would have to wait on him for bug fixes and updates. Simba's source is on Github and anyone can contribute bug fixes and updates :) He also used Delphi which made SCAR Windows-specific, while Simba is written in Lazarus/Object Pascal which runs on several platforms.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Any questions feel free to ask away!

Well, that's nice to know. I have a machine running Linux. I Was planning on using it, but wasn't sure if it would need to use wine to be able to run?
Thanks Benny I do have a few questions. I have Been searching for answers which I usually am able to Google. (for most of them but not all)

Welcome to Simba, hope you get back into scripting again!

Welcome to Simba, hope you get back into scripting again!

Same to you minus the again part, lol. You seem to be on quite often. Thats promising commitment.

Hi, welcome to the community. If you do enter the competition, good luck with the script!
