  1. Best of luck with the new job Alek. Thanks for all the work you put into making OSBot awesome. You're a legend!
  2. I'm seeing this with a Rogue's Den cooker that I made. It was working prior to the update recently. I see many other posts about this on other threads within the last 21 hours. Will be watching for a fix as it would appear this is a problem with the bot.
  3. Finding this months later and really wish there were a github with repos or a sticky. If a would-be programmer is lazy and does not learn enough fundamentals about the language or CS to become competent, that is their choice. Others would benefit tremendously from the freedom to explore good code. Learning Java (or any language) and learning from open source programs are not mutually exclusive. All of the developers I know learn from open source projects. The idea that you should find a single decent example and never need any others is somewhat bizarre. The suggestion that learning from multiple good examples could actually be detrimental is downright ludicrous. The fact is that this forum is littered with a hodge-podge of snippets. They range in quality from absolute gem to counter-productive. They are almost exclusively devoid of context or adequate explanation. Many are out of date. Tons of them are repeats. Not an insignificant subset are hidden between, "go read the API" and "learn java" comments (perhaps warranted). An open source library would cut down on useless posts. It would save many an OPs time. It would save the developers who answer those OPs time (God bless them). It would save the people flaming the OPs time. It would naturally select out bad code, and lead those in search to better quality, more up-to-date examples. Many of the free scripts are broken. Some of them just need small patches, and in fact would not be broken at this very moment if I or anyone else interested were able to fork, patch and submit a PR for them. I understand some authors may want to keep their free script private. But for those intending to give the code away, why not make a repo where the community can help keep it updated and learn from it? @Explv, in my opinion, did newcomers a big favor by open sourcing his Tutorial Island Script. How appropriate that it should be the tutorial island script and it is a good place for noobs to begin! We need more repos like his, in my opinion. I believe his tutorial island script hangs right after making dough for the baker. I will try to get around to forking and patching it. This is an option for me because the code is on github. Thank you to everyone who participates in this community, especially to those who maintain OSBot itself, or spent their time helping others on the forum, or contributed scripts. You have provided me and many others with an awesome incentive to branch out into Java, and have a ton of fun. You are awesome. TLDR; Open source repos is an all-around Good Thing for any programming community. Period. Thanks to every member of this community!
