Simba for OSX


Link: http://arkeo.chrishobbs.ca/files/Simba.zip

I've made a wrapper for simba to run as a native app on OSX.
Note that this is not a native app but merely runs like one so that everything is bundled together and you won't have to deal with wine installs and configurations.
Pretty much everything will work the same as if you were running it on windows.
The only the DTM Editor and Color Pickers require an extra step (see below)

Super Simple Setup
Step 1 - Download the zip file
Step 2 - Extract the zip file
Step 3 - Move Simba.app into your Applications folder

See I told you it was simple!


Feature Status
Working | Buggy/Under Testing | Not working

• Core Funtions
• SMART
• Updater
• Plugins
• Color Picker

DTM Editor Steps
When you open up the DTM Editor you will notice the little window where you make your DTMs will be black. To solve this, simple take the Client Selector (Green Crosshairs) and drag that over to the SMART Client. Then on the DTM Editor window, select the "Image" menu and click "Load Image From Client". You will now see the Runescape image in the DTM Editor!

Color Picker Steps
I have included a simple color picking utility with this OSX version as a temporary fix until a better fix comes out in coming Simba builds. In the scripts folder you will find a script called ColorPicker.simba. Run that and every time you press F5 it will print out the color and coords that your mouse is pointing at, just like the color picker! (Shocking!) To kill this script just press F6. Also, since simba is threaded, you can still work in other tabs and even run and test your script while the colorpicker script is also running and it will not interfere! :)

Known Bugs
-Color Picker - (Fix coming in future Simba builds)
-Only Works in SMART not any external environment

Nkn gave his away, get with it noob! ;)<3
edit: omgomgomogomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg back to sin? I love you.

Looks awesome. Well done on the release! Lots of happy people

Has anyone actually tested it yet? :p

Buy me a Mac and i'll gladly test it for you, free of charge!

My school CS lab has iMacs, I'll ask the admin if we could get it :p

Ill try to test it discreetly on my brothers mac if you'd like ;)

Very Very nice BTW.

I dont know why but the download is taking ages. :S
It broke at 93% last time. Will try again now but I just get like 100kb/s.

I found an issue with it. SMART will not load (Fixed that part, not uploaded yet) and also the wrapper is isolating it from the screen so it may only work in SMART (Testing)

what a beastly simba icon<3

I use a Mac, I'll test this tonight! Does color picking work? Color picking doesn't work with wine.

I'll test it in a VMbox and let you know how it goings.

don't personally have a mac but i'm sure many people will appreciate this nice work!

That doesn't look like it runs natively? :S

I've made a wrapper for simba to run as a native app on OSX.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things, usually by employing the words "like" or "as"

:)

Meaning instead of dealing with wine installs and such, its a app bundle and can be run like a native OSX app and easily distributed. So if you double click a simba file it will open in simba and not in TextEdit.

Oh gawd, if a native Simba app were to release… :wow:

Just an update, I've worked out most of the bugs (see first post for updated info). I'm going to work on it tomorrow and try and shrink the app bundle size as much as possible tomorrow.

does your bundle include a windows java? I got older OS X and apple does their own dumb java or whatever, I also got a snowleopard version which should work, I'll tested it out but I have to mod the imac for better cooling because it gets too hot (so I won't be using it for botting :P )

also can't find a download link idk if I'm too tired or what

The app is completely self contained. X11 and Java files are both included inside the app bundle.

alright sounds cool, still don't know where the download is =[ I saw you added this to your sig got all excited but was just the thread lol

I will probably be able to post it today. I want to try and slim it down some more.

Nice work, Hobbit! Bout time you did something useful :p

Posted link in first post. Ive tested and its all good to go (Aside from things listed in post)
Tested a script for a few hours without issue.

Enjoy!

Also, it is packaged with Java 6 not 7 so you dont have to worry about the recent news :)

Ah got it, will try it out

nice server you got there, downloaded at about 3MB/s

Running it right now, seems to be working fairly well. Isn't really a native OSX app though still uses X11/Wine

Ahhh I see

Love you so much Hobbit.

I am currently trying to select a client with Simba. When i try to it seems that my whole screen goes red and selects the desktop.

As said in the first post, due to the nature of the wrapper it only works with SMART for the moment. So the only window you can select as the client target is the SMART window as it is inside the wrapper with Simba.

This is great! Everything (except for color picker hehe) working perfectly! Great tribute for enlarging the community.
But in some way it seems that the OSX version needs lots of RAM. It is using more then if I am loading via Wine or a VM Ware.

Just noticed this lovely addition to simba sitting here. I will install and try it out as soon as I can. This is what I've been waiting for for some time!!

So glad i found this. downloading now.

works beautifully.
whatever i was messing up trying to put this on my mac earlier you did right with this. big ups Hobbit.

much love for this

Heres a hint get another download link this one is taking to long for how big the file is its taking me about 16 minutes.

I CAN'T GET IT TO RUN SMART8.0 it does not even open the smart window anymore… When I updated SMART to 8.0 do u know how to fix

How would you get this to work for 2007scape scripts?

From: Surfster
How would you get this to work for 2007scape scripts?

Right-click on the wrapper, click Show Package Contents. Then double-click on the drive_c alias, then go into the Simba folder.
Replace/add whatever you need (like the fonts and includes) into there and you should be fine.

I personally use the SRL-OSR include on GitHub, but it isn't finished yet and requires one to change scripts that use the 07Include. I suggest you just use the 07Include.

I dont understand it doesnt say the same things on it. can u make a printscreen/video showing most steps for Mac please?

Hey there Hobbit. I'm in the process of trying to test this Simba for OSX. I have everything loaded and such in their respected folders. However, after the compile, that's it. It doesn't end or draw an error. It just doesn't do anything. I'm really striving to get this working.

hey hobbit. I am just stumbling upon this thread, and I would really like to get this onto my computer and start running it! however… when i click the link to get to the .zip file, i get "404-not found." how can i fix this?

i get a 404 error when i click on the link…it might be broken :/

I know this is a huge grave dig, but is there any chance of this being put back up?
