SRL Archive - News and General

Hey guys,

I am new to scripting and i am rather confused. Their are soo many handy tutorials here that i am not sure what methods to use:/

Firstly, i think the default template recommended for newbies needs to be updated as it seems to be out of date.

And i was really hoping i could find some answers.



Walking:
Out of all of the walking/navigation styles, Which one is most accurate/best to use?

I found that using the Path Creator was easy but after it walks to the location the first time, after it is in a loop it doesn't walk the same path again?

I think that ObjDtm is really accurate… These arew the only two i have found simple tutorials on and their the only ones i have used.


Paint Tutorial:
Whats the best/easiest paint tutorial to follow for beginners?


Proggy:
Whats the best/easiest proggy tutorial to follow for beginners?


Items:
Best way to locate a tree, gate, door, item on ground, item in inventory etc


Antiban:
Easy way to learn antiban

Thanks thats really all i have to ask atm. I know theirs threads for all this stuff. But theirs sooo many threads to learn from. How does one know which one is better:/

Waiting for an answer too because those are FANTASTIC questions :P

Walking:
sps/objdtm is easiest to learn and fairly accurate, if you are walking back a path you need invert the TPA.
TPA walking is the best but takes some effort.

I think Flight made a paint tut. I don't find it necessary though, just go SmartGraphics.simba and read through the procedures.

There are no 'best' tutorials (who are we to judge?) so just find and read each of them until you understand.

Obj finding with (A)TPA is best. Bitmap is decent for inv obj.

Go through antiban.simba for starters.

Personally imo the best way to "learn antiban" is to think how to make the script as human as possible, even making it have little "accidents" :P and then making it recover from them.

Cheers for the input.

Since this post i have found some really handy tutorials.

All those tutorials helped me out a LOT. Their all i think you really need for your first script. It would be really kool if their could be a post with a ored from 1-10 or however many needed that basically links to every tutorial for simba. People can think "how do i walk in rs". They search this forum using the search bar and it will not really help them because they need to actually specify the type of walking. Where as now even when i use the bar up top for "walking" this comes up.

-CRASH.

Thanks for posting those, hopefully someone will also find them useful :). I'd also like to add that both NKN and Abu Jwaka have great progress report tutorials. Start with NKN's and if you don't understand it all or want to learn more advanced methods like xp bar tracking go to Abu's. Both really solid tuts.
