SRL Archive - Research & Development Lounge

I found a script I was dying to use but it hadnt been updated over 6 months. It was half broken, functional for a few hours but dies due to bad DTMs, out of date error checking, broken features, and a memory leak.

If I have created added features and preformed routine maintenance on the script and want to have them included in the main release, how should I go about it?

I have already sent a message to the creator.
How long should I wait before ganking the script? I would still give full credit to the original creator.
Would it hurt my reputation with the forums if 75% of the code was created by someone else?

I dont want to just post my updates in the thread due to the large amount of new/updated code.

Would it be better for me to just write a whole new script from scratch and give the original creator credit as being my inspiration?

Could you possibly post the script you are after?

Who's the author and what script? We've dealt with things like this in the past, and typically it's always good to get permission before posting a fixed script. Some don't care, but it's polite to try to get a response before posting.

If the user is inactive, you could maybe talk to a mod and see what they have to say. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though. Worst case they just close the thread/remove the script and you wait until you get permission.

Its the monkey knife fighter theiving trainer. eska is still active as far as I can tell, I just havent received a reply yet.

Ive added high-alching options for each type of scimmy. Fixed the InJail check and recovery methods. Cleared a few small memory leaks and fixed a few issues with freeing DTMs.

I have more features in development but they aren't bug free yet. Halfway through banking, 2/3's through depositing d scimmys using the new pets, and just starting on adding priority to monkeys that are trapped in an optimum spot.


Edit:

Found this in one of eska's other threads.

I will no longer support this script.

First, as you can see from my activity bar, I am no longer active on this forum. This is due to me quiting runescape after achieving 99 in all stats using script from SRL or script I made.
Second, it was made 'quick and dirty' (eg it use 'box' instead of actualy finding the table) and I never intended to keep it working for an extended period of time. The idea was to get this script ready in a few hours for the bonus xp weekend 6-7 months ago.

You should look into Ashaman88's oak larder script. It's much more stable and Ashaman88 still support it..

You can take my script and modify it as you see fit.

I can put a link in my thread to redirect user to you thread if you want.

Thanks eska.

It may be a few days before I create a thread for it. Im still getting the additions ready for public use.
