We need Ideas for a members competition.

I want to to have similar circumstances as the other competition.

What I mean it open ended requirements on skill so that users can create a script on just about anything.

The prize like the JM competition will be competition cup and 5 million RSGP.

We also need this competition to be harder that the JM one. Maybe a quest one with requirement to have a bunch of walking without SPS and Object DTMs.

The tentative Timeline on this one starting is when the JM closes. IE while we plan this one the JM one will finish. We judge the JM one while the Member one is running. Basically running JM and members on alternate months. We will announce the New competitions on the first of every month then release them on the 5th. I'd like to have the results for the previous one released with the announcement for the next one. That will leave us 5 days short of a month to grade each Competition.

lol No Ideas Come on people we need to brain storm this thing we got less than 3 weeks to make a solid competition for this.

Why don't we use these competitions (members+) to promote the development of SRL6? For instance, we want new mouse functions, that can be a competition. We want one banking function to replace the lot of bank.simba in it's current state, that can be a competition. Not to mention the fact that doing so also adds a a bit of a extra reward to the winner, assuming it's of high enough quality to be implemented in SRL.

I like NCDS's idea. Have competitions that will benefit the community. If you want ideas, you know how to reach me :p You know I barely come on here.

We did brainstorm this in another thread.. That's where the "make something for SRL"-idea is from :p Read the other thread as-well!

Ah but zyt3x we need specifics. "Make something for SRL6" isn't really specific. Giving a list of things / criteria to meet while doing that would be. They could just make a skill.simba for SRL6 and have filled the requirement.

-Banking Functions.
—For this we need to mouse functions setup. Which might be done in

-Mouse Functions
—Do you want the members doing this as we now have flight among the devs who imo does the best mouse functions.

What else is really really broke in SRL5 that needs doing?

Well, Flight pretty much just fiddles with a few arguments in Benland's wind mouse algo to get a different effect.


Also, I vote to keep it rather generic and non-super-specific (e.g. skill-specific).

Mhm. What I've been doing is giving modifications to Ben's WindMouse the gives different effects among the movement. Not a whole lot of the original I change, just add-to. It's a good reason why I like to keep my mouse procedures optional to the user, no forcing of usage.

I'm for the idea of creating SRL-related content. What I'd like to see is original ideas, completely new ideas being brought to the table. What we have already works well and there's not that much room for improvement, but brand new ideas should be welcomed and encouraged.

-My 2 cents-

Examples? :p (we'll need one).

Let start a basic outline of what we want to see from this competition.

First I'd like to see walking from the members like I did from the juniors in that competition. Meaning No SPS and No ObjectDTMs.

How do we make them walk my Idea was for them for add in Banking to what ever script they were doing. With us wanting to see what they can do as far as banking functions go I believe that this one should also have that requirement. We can also add in that they must create there own banking function that will work for all F2P banks. We can modify it for all banks later if we find one suitable.

I had the primary objective of the last one really open only stating that they needed to use two skills in their script. This allowed the pretty much free reign over the things they could do. I'd like it to be an open ended objective again as we get more variety with the scripts and the scripters are more likely to continue supporting them.


So we have.

  1. Walking required( restricted no SPS or ObjectDTMs)
  2. Banking required( Must create own banking function that works with all F2p Banks)
  3. Open ended requirement allowing creativity.(still need to come up with one.)
  4. No Pre-existing scripts allowed.( It must be a new script.)

That's pretty much all I have gotten so far. Anything else we can add because this isn't much.

On New SRL content Ideas We are giving them pretty much free reign on the Banking functions to create them how they see fit and might get a few new reliable ways of opening a bank.

Probably next year some time when we get SRL-6 Roled out we can host a competition for Lape.

One thing to note, it cannot be too complex or people will simply not do it (Regardless of the prize)

BraK

That's true which is why I don't really make hard restrictions.

The walking restriction is something that most people should be expecting already. Considering I did it to the JMs. Along with the other requirements. The only thing new so far is them creating their own Banking functions and not using the ones built into SRL.

As for the primary requirement for the competition I haven't gotten one yet but like I said I want it to be as open ended as possible to allow them to do a large variety of scripts. Might restrict fighting scripts in this one.

Honestly those requirements are fine with me. That leaves everyone open to their own creativity, and there's no need to worry about it being similar to the JM comp, as these will obviously be different people competing.

So have you stopped the competitions?


On topic since everyone agrees with those requirements we'll go ahead with them as is.



  1. Walking required( restricted no SPS or ObjectDTMs)
  2. Banking required( Must create own banking function that works with all F2p Banks)
  3. No Pre-existing scripts allowed.( It must be a new script.)

I'm planning to do one more, with much simpler questions, but if few people do them, then I will be stopping them for good.

So what will this competition be about? :p

BraK

2012-11-03 21:13:26

exactly what I stated it to be in my last post. It'll be really open and up to the scripter to impress.

Sounds good, this will bring in a high varietyof high quality scripts.
