Swizzbeat

Just for this I'll be the catcher tonight.

I put this idea into effect a few months ago, where it slowly died out mainly due to the fact that most of the people who belonged to it have now quit/are MIA. Hopefully this time around it can become bigger (last time on some days I'd wake up to 1k+ messages from the group, just to give people an idea of how big it got) and there can be a place that scripters can go, besides the chat box, to get help with issues their having. I'd like this group to mainly focus on scripting, however it should also be a place where beginners and experienced Java programmers alike can learn a thing or two from their peers. Who knows, maybe some top notch scripting groups will be formed here If you'd like to join please send a message to OSSwizzbeat on Skype saying something along the lines of "please add me to the OSBot scripting chat". Don't take it personally if I don't accept your contact details, as I like to keep my contact list clean. MESSAGES SENT TO ME WITHOUT A REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THE GROUP WILL BE IGNORED AS I WILL HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU ARE ADDING ME

Those look pretty simple. Maybe create one designed for a particular script and add images, colors, etc.

An auto buyer can do this :p

Every time I see you post you act like you're some Java wizard that knows absolutely everything. I'm not saying you're not knowledgeable, but stop trying to act like a hardass on an internet forum.

Great tutorial, should help out a lot of beginners! I think it would be great if you expanded upon this to include information on overloading/overriding methods.

Yes, as long as you have a needed script that you're not just putting up so you can get a rank.

Unfortunately the only way here is to have a script on the SDN.

I don't think any scripter has been offended, just a difference of opinion is causing an issue.

Omg you legend, I'll add that to my siggy once I figure out how I'm going to display my scripts now that were only allowed up to 3 images in signatures

While I do feel like @Sigma is being a total ass about the whole thing and coming off as a complete dick, I agree with @Pain that his points are valid. Let's be honest, probably the only scripters here that could build any type of business grade application are the developers, @Alek, the people in AT Team, and @Pandemic. That's it. I do think @Sigma needs to stop calling out just OSBot scripters, as this same lack of knowledge applies to almost every scripter on every client (including *).

Looks awesome! I'm releasing my miner very shortly, great to see more competition

Support let's rape him.

import org.osbot.script.rs2.map.Position; import org.osbot.script.rs2.model.Entity; import java.awt.*; /** * Created with IntelliJ IDEA * User: Anthony * Date: 3/23/2014 */ public class PolygonArea { private Polygon polygon; public PolygonArea(Position... positions) { polygon = new Polygon(retrieveXPoints(positions), retrieveYPoints(positions), positions.length); } public boolean contains(Entity entity) { return polygon.contains(entity.getX(), entity.getY()); } public boolean contains(Position position) { return polygon.contains(position.getX(), position.getY()); } private int[] retrieveXPoints(Position[] positions) { int[] xPoints = new int[positions.length]; for (int i = 0; i < positions.length; i++) xPoints[i] = positions[i].getX(); return xPoints; } private int[] retrieveYPoints(Position[] positions) { int[] yPoints = new int[positions.length]; for (int i = 0; i < positions.length; i++) yPoints[i] = positions[i].getY(); return yPoints; } } Probably could be improved as well as have had more methods implemented/overridden but here's a basic class for creating a polygon area instead of being stuck with just a simple square.

I have zero desire to write scripts for *, the only reason I did was because a friend needed it. Sorry I don't want to sit there and scan the API for every little tiny thing I need. Why are you making it sound like I said OSBot's API documentation was terrible? The only thing I said was that people never provide reasons why it isn't up to their standards (which you just have thank you very much). It sounds as though you think you can do better, so why don't you? Also, validate is a completely valid name for a method that validates something. English evidently isn't your first language:

Signature/Avatar/Bot Paint/Script Icon for me Do I have to choose?

Have you ever even used OSBot's API? People love to bash on it but I don't see them posting any reasons why it's terrible. If a certain method isn't working then make your own, it's very easy with the generic methods such as grabbing the items in your inventory, getting the mouse destination of a game entity, etc.Also, how does RuneScapes code pertain to any of this? You sound like a very intelligent kid, and if I remember correctly you've posted some brilliant code on these forums, but posts like these destroy your credability and make you look like a child. There's no reason to use derogatory language to try to make yourself sound cool considering most of the people on this thread are just trying to have a discussion. Oh and at anyone who says * is better, it's not. I've used their API and it's just as bad.

If I may make one last comment here, I think the majority of people are confusing scripting and programming actually are and how they relate. Scripting (in the context of creating bot scripts) can be done with MINIMAL Java knowledge and someone with a month of Java experience can make a fully functional flawless script. Yes the code may be terrible, however in my opinion if it works it works. Programming on the other hand involves not only a flawless application, but also designed upon a framework with scalability and proper conventions, design patterns, etc. With that being said yes I do think scripters should have a much richer knowledge of how to program, but it shouldn't be a requirement for putting a premium script out there. My very first script I ever wrote (about a month into learning Java as well) is now the most sold premium script on OSBot and has been performing without any bugs for 4+ months now without a single update. Considering it was made on nested if/else statements I think that is evidence enough that scripting and programming are two entirely different things.

When I get hit by a bus, die and cannot update my scripts, I will be sure to remember this.

lol @ this ********a

Agreed, the current staff team thinks these forums are their life.

Sex.
