Dumping some history.

Im going to dump some of my runescape history into this thread. If anyone wants to really get to know me, please hit me up with a pm. I don't feel comfortable giving out details in a non-secured part of a forum.

I originally started playing runescape back in 2003. I loved classic and was a contributor in the "item dupe" glitch.

I played from January 03 till the trade limit fiasco hit. It pissed me off enough to quit until free trade came back. I took another break because life happens, and now im back again.

Some time around march of 2003 I got tired of fighting for resources in mining, thats when I found autorune. I must have gained 10 mining levels in 1 day! I was so excited! Then the first of many "massive bans" happened. A grand total of about 50 players were banned, including me!

I wouldnt let a small thing like losing a full set of phats and multiple santa hats stop me (total value ~30m at the time). I toyed around with multiple other botting tools and was never really happy. Everything paled in comparison to autorune. A small miracle happened in September of 2003 AutoRune was back, and better than ever! I started wondering how AutoRune was made and what I could do to help with it.

I had just gained the confidence of Kaitnieks and he directed me to tons of online "how to program" tutorials. I was in love. I spent 2 months learning how to program, and came up with my first functionality that could be included in AutoRune. It was a clever little piece of code that would let you add X quantity of an item to a trade.

Kaitnieks and a few of the other guys in the group gave me a nice pat on the back and after a quick code review it was golden. K included my code in the November 5th update. Almost 5,000 people downloaded the client with my code in it in 2 days.

Some time near midnight November 6th-7th a player found a hole… by putting an item in the trade screen using Autorune and setting the quantity to 0 something amazing would happen. Autorune would tell runescape to trade 0 party hats to another player, runescape would autocorrect the 0 to a 1 AFTER it was on the server, thus the item was never removed from your inventory but it was traded to another player.

November 9th I lost my 2nd account.

Not giving up, I sent an email to Jagex from my original account saying im sorry, I will never bot again, etc. The wiped my mining level and my cash but left me 1 santa hat because the mod felt I had truely learned my lesson. I have never botted on this account again and probably never will. Just got my 10 year cape and I still have no 99s.

Runescape 2 came out and I kept playing for a few years and started tinkering with SCAR, but I had lost some of my motivation. I kept studying programming and eventually joined the military. I have played on and off since then dabbling in different bots.

With 2 kids and a wife, I find my self needing a break and developing scripts is relaxing to me. Since I have a few years of advanced Python and C/C++ driver development under my belt, I know I can make an impact on this community.

My head hurst and I need a smoke, If anyone has any questions or suggestions please post.

Thanks. I just need to find a page that lists all the SRL functions and a brief description of each one. Then I should be able to create my first real simba script.

Im thinking a clan citadel script for capping. Easy program flow and not overly complicated.

Thats pretty cool. I wish I would've played back then, I'd be hoarding phats like crazy.

The prices were outrageous even then. I wish I could remeber the password or email addy for my old mule account. I still have a load of one purple, 2 mask sets, and some santas sitting on it.

It had a retardedly long password I saved on my desktop in a txt.

One or two things may be out of date but searching will fix errors like that. You can also look in your Simba Includes folder for everything, but the link is more user friendly.

Gl on your script :)
