SRL Archive - OSR Intermediate Scripting Tutorials

Looks really professional and comprehensive! I'll be sure to print this and read it whenever i'm free. Thank you so much for the awesome work!

Wow thanks! Maybe now I will bother learning them :)

Just looked through the full tutorial, impressive! I was planning on possibly adding a form to my Great Orb Project script and with this tutorial I feel obligatory to add one haha. On the other hand I was just looking into plugins and made my first one yesterday.. Luckily I got holiday after my examweek is finished to work on this.. :) Thanks for the tutorial, or better said e-book!

Great Job Daniel. I never really got around to completing mine as life kept getting in the way.

I actually downloaded it, nice job :)

Very very nice, will download soon!

Trusted download…? JK :P

Of course, lol. *mwahahaha*

Thanks guys :) Enjoy :)

Very very comprehensive. I "like" to see the following topics as I've never seen them in any tutorials (on this site):

Parent-Child controls.
Swapping the Parents of a control.
Multi-Page Forms (Perhaps with a button or TabControl)
Painting Components
Dynamically Spawning/Creating components.
Non-Modal Dialogs.

Great book, I'm going to print it out in my friends house since I don't have ink.

Looks very comprehensive!
I've never been a huge fan of forms, though I have fiddled around with them. They just seem like an awful lot of code for a pretty place to put your username and password in.

PS - I now know it was you on IRC ;)

This is cool, can't wait to extend my form skills. They're such a blast and it's good to see them explained more in-depth more so now, than previously on this site. :)

This is very very good, I would also like to know how to add tabs :)

thanks :) + rep

I'll try to add most of that in the second edition in a couple of weeks (after I finish my exams). At the moment, it is a very good introductory guide to forms in Simba (its purpose).

1) I briefly went into that.
2) Kind of obvious how to do that :p

Learned to load a image from file as well as some fundamentals that I didn't have much knowledge on. Exploring the Lazarus compiler helped me find possible (to an extent in pascal script) full lists of what I can do exactly with each component on a form ~ might be a useful reference to include one in the guide for pascal script specifics?

Nonetheless, thanks for the great guide Daniel!

Cheers,
Lj!

Hey im just wondering, is the method for creating forms similar in regular crt/wincrt compiler based pascal?

Hey Daniel.

Nice job mate, I have gone through this front to back. Their is one thing i would like to point out though, on page 11 you used this:

lblHelloWord:  TLabel;

I believe it should have been this:

lblHelloWorld:  TLabel;

Missing an "L" their XD. Not that it should matter as you did say NOT to COPY and PASTE instead TYPE IT OUT and RENAME it to something that SUITS ME.

But yeah i found it weird that in the tutorial it was HelloWord and in the code snippet at the bottom it was HelloWorld lol.

Cheers mate, hopefully this will help me finally make a form.!

Same lol :p

Reading now, seems like a lot of work to go through though. Maybe useful if I make a really complicated script, as this isn't really needed for most :p

I've just finished reading this. It's great and easy to understand!
Though will you be extending the tutorial to elaborate on how to run the form in parallel to the script? I changed .ShowModal to .Show but Simba crashed when i run it…
Where would i able to learn about using .Show properly? Any existing scripts that you would recommend to get an idea of it?

thank you!

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! :D
Will finally be learning forms now - about time too!

Looks amazing, im going to start reading it right away!

THANKS, I love this thread you're awesome!!
+rep :D

Ill take a while to look this through Seems very interesting, Well Done :)

Thanks

Does anyone have this downloaded ?

A 33 Page ebook on forms?! :surprised:

That's way too much work to no longer be shared!

@Daniel If anyone still has this thing kicking around I would love to take a read through and if it's alright post it in the awesome resources section on my site http://mysterymuffin.com/other-awesome-resources/ for people to find if the link goes down again.

Does anyone know where can I still get this?
