I'm starting my script in CLI with -allow norandoms and when onStart is called, my script first tries to get a good starting state by checking if we're currently in a bank with: Banks.GRAND_EXCHANGE.contains(script.myPlayer()) This is immediately causing a NullPointer Exception at "org.osbot.rs07.api.map.area.contains(jk:91)" I originally thought perhaps OSBot hadn't fully initialized by the time onStart was called, so I added a 20 second sleep just to debug the problem. However, this did nothing and the crash still occurred 20 seconds later. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

hmmmm.. Very tempted to have mine ask "fishing levels?" every few seconds now. If we're going down, might as well go down with a bang.

Thanks a lot man! Morning Update: https://imgur.com/a/QjcOZ All bots still running. One of the fresh accounts got 40 fishing properly, sold gear to get a lobster pot, and made it to karamja to start fishing. The other one was stuck at the GE this morning, so that's definitely something I need to look into. I'm also getting a few log-outs after an EventExecuter timed out. It logs back in and continues fine, but still that's another thing I need to look into. The current plan as of now is to spend some time cleaning and optimizing the code. I have a feeling some of the weird bugs I'm seeing are due to timing issues and inconsistencies. I also want to look more into conditional sleeps as those seem to be the way to go for some of the stuff I'm doing. Once that's done, I plan to scale up on a VPS to around 10 bots. Hopefully this will be done before tomorrow so I can get some run time before bans start coming on Monday.

https://imgur.com/a/O4Ckl Have 3 characters fishing lobsters and just fired up 2 more. Will leave these going until I encounter a problem. I'll hopefully post follow up pictures tomorrow with longer progress stats ;)

That got past the error! I see "Starting local script with name: testScript" now, but then it still doesn't start any script once OSBot is fully started. I'll keep toying with it but if you have any more insight, I'm all ears. Thanks!

Let's say I have a local script called testScript.jar. How would I run that with CLI? I've tried both of the following and always end up with "Script settings are incorrect, unable to load automatically!" java -jar OSBot.jar -login username:password -world 383 -bot bot_name:bot_pass:bot_pin -mem 1024 -script testScript.jar --allow norandoms,lowcpu java -jar OSBot.jar -login username:password -world 383 -bot bot_name:bot_pass:bot_pin -mem 1024 -script testScript --allow norandoms,lowcpu Note that I don't need to pass any parameters in.

Big progress! My Fisher now is completely automated. I haven't been able to truly test it 100% as I haven't had an account run for longer than 24 hours to get rid of the F2P trade restrictions (to test mule features fully). However, I can create an account, type the credentials into osbot and leave it to: -finish tutorial island -sell items to afford to buy required fishing gear -fish until 40 fishing -fish lobsters until I tell it to mule I'll hopefully get some long runtimes and progress this weekend and take some pictures. This is a big stepping stone as it not only is essentially "gold farm ready", but it really reassured me that I should be good to go developing any more complex scripts in the future. At this point I'm going to need to do some more logistical planning to figure out if I want to just suicide bot f2p at a larger scale (more dev ops/ban management related work), or write something for a P2P method and spend less time fighting mass bans. I'd love some input if there's anyone out there still reading this Also, I finally set a money goal. For now it's a meager 10 mill fully automated as a short term and the long term is 100m. Just wanted to keep my goals very realistic at this stage as I'm sure I'll run into more problems with bans and system management as I scale up.

Glad to see more new scripters making progress threads. Good luck man! I'm doing something very similar so if you ever want someone to chat/bounce ideas off of, let me know.

Update: Fishing script v1 is done. As is the process of cleaning up the faulty architecture around script states that I mentioned before. It still will need work before I can really gold farm on it as currently it won't automatically move on to lobsters as it won't have the required lobster pot. I figure I'll either have it automatically run to the GE and sell off all loot and buy a lobster pot, or I'll take this an excuse to automate some of the muling process to have a mule give them lobster pots once they reach fishing level 40. I also am currently fishing in Al Kharid and I want to find some creative solution to deal with the scorpion that roams around there; currently I simply run away if it attacks me.

So I've moved on to working on a new script to fish in f2p to hopefully avoid some of the issues with competition that I saw with mining. Ideally it will be done very quickly, but there's some architecture flaws in my tutorial island script that are really annoying the dev side of me. They aren't causing any real problems, especially since I don't plan on releasing any of these early scripts, so my eyes will be the only ones seeing them. But still, odds are I'm going to get tired of looking at them and I'll need to remake some stuff to get it to an acceptable standard. For those of you script writers who care: The original RQ Tutorial island solver used a state interface class, and each new script/task would introduce a new child of that class. The actual state data was kept in a string. I hated using and comparing strings for state data, so I switched to enums, but that essentially breaks the whole parent-child relationship (and purpose of having a state interface in the first place) as child classes can't add new enum values to their parents. Also, I've been brainstorming some simple ways to communicate between bots. Might not be useful, but it would at least be a cool feature with some potential use cases. I'm thinking something like keeping bots spread out across worlds and notify each other if certain alert conditions are met (e.g. JMod seen in certain world, so other bots are notified to avoid that world for a set time). Probably won't work on this for a bit, so I added it to the long term goals for now.

Update: Clay miner is "sorta" done. It's working as well as it can, but there is a big problem that I didn't foresee (see bottom) Features: Toggles run energy if I have above a certain threshold (random so it's not always toggling at same value) Hops world if there are too many other players competing at clay Uses correct pick axes for level Banks -> Mines -> repeats HOWEVER. The big problem is that there are just too many F2P clay mining bots. I had no idea how many there actually were, and I'm not able to get any clay as my mining level is too low. Looking around they all seem to be using rune pick axes, so I'm thinking I'll need to have it power mine somewhere else to get some levels before actually trying to get clay. If anyone has any input here, I'd appreciate it. I might just toss this script and find something else in F2P to bot. That'll set back my time frame for working on mule scripts, but it seems better than pushing forward with Clay when it's already saturated with bots.

Haha that's because I started with a roughly working copy thanks to lisabe96. There were definitely some bugs and some unrealistic actions it took that I had to fix, but the core code was there already. It's always easier to add on and fix an existing code base than to start from scratch ;) They clay miner is 100% my code and I'm trying to do it only using the API documentation as a resource (vs looking back at the tutorial island stuff or other open source scripts). Anyways, the clay miner should be done tonight. Just working out some kinks that I missed on version 1 that could lead to it getting stuck.

Thanks Apa! I don't know how I missed that. I have a working prototype currently, but I'll definitely go back and look through Explv's code to see what I might be able to improve on.

Introduction Hi all. I'm new here, so I figured I'd give a bit of background about myself. I'm a software engineer by trade (graduated with a CS degree several years ago and work full-time as a software engineer) and used to play a ton of Runescape. In the past, I've tried to get into script development, but always got sidetracked and gave up without producing anything. This time, I'm hoping to see it through by setting some short and long term goals to keep me motivated. I have experience in Java, although it's been a few years since I've used it; however, the OSBot devs did a great job with the API so I don't think it'll be too long till I'm making progress. Short Term Goals Develop script that can do tutorial island (DONE) This should give me a lot of practice as it's doing a large variety of tasks In order to not jump into this entirely blind, I've been looking at some open source tutorial island scripts as well (shout out to @lisabe96's RQ Tutorial Island Completer) This may end up being trashed if the ban rate is too high, but either way the scripting experience will be valuable. Write script to mine clay (DONE - With caveat. See Week 1 updates for more info) Build infrastructure to facilitate combining scripts well, and combine tutorial island + clay miner (DONE) This will aid in the future as I hope to have bots complete prerequisites, and then automatically jump to gold farming once those are finished Build script to automatically mule F2P Fishing Script (V1 Done, still a WIP to improve it to a gold-farm ready script) 10 mill automatically farmed and muled MySQL Server for managing bots and facilitating communication between them (see update for 9/25 for more info) Long Term Goals Automatic account replacement as they're banned Alerts (via email, twitter, or text message) when something seems off Profit in the black (should be a relatively quick one to complete as I won't be paying too much on servers at the start) Communication between bots (so I don't end up with to many on the same world, or to alert others should something go wrong (e.g. JMod in a certain world) 100m profit Progress 9/18: 9/19: 9/22: 9/23 9/24 9/25 9/28

Used Stealth quester on Sunday, perma-banned monday morning. I AFK trained fishing+cooking most of the rest of the weekend, but that was all done manually without bots.

I just didn't expect to get banned for using stealth quester to finish a quest. There's guys like this who are trying to bot to max stats, and yet I get banned instantly for using a script for maybe 15 minutes max. Just trying to find the weak link so it doesn't keep happening. I fully expect to get banned in the long run, just not so fast for so little. Seems the most likely answer at this point. Guess I'll stop making accounts on the same IP.

I had a main banned a week or so ago for macro major and ended up making a new account to just AFK train on while doing other things. The only thing I've botted on this account was stealth quester, and yesterday was the first time I used it (botted 3 quests then went back to AFK training manually). Logging in this morning and I'm perma banned again. Just trying to figure out what's going on. Is my IP/email flagged? (Both accounts were made on the same IP and same email) I can't think of any other reason other than A: Got reported for AFK training and jagex banned without looking into it B: Somehow triggered detection system with stealth quester
