Updated original picture. Project is coming along great and most of it is complete. I've done some minor GUI changes, nothing major. Hopefully I can get this project up and running by the end of the month.

Please don't spread rumors such as the user being banned. Ericthecmh is a great scripter and the script itself was having some troubles; once it has been fixed it will be back on the SDN.

w7Tuner Language: C# Features: -Kill processes -Kill services -Kill startup programs -Kill tasks -Delete temp files -Delete dump files -Delete log files -Delete thumbnails ..and many more advanced features! w7Tuner Crypter Language: C++ A simple tool to encrypt the update files which users download for the main program. Background: This software is in a really early stage currently, however I've been making great strides on its core. Unlike other "tuning" software, w7Tuner is the only application that targets other 3rd party applications. By modifying settings which will go unnoticed, it's typical to save hundreds of megabytes of RAM on the first run, along with gigabytes of hard drive space. The update feature is quite useful and compact. w7Tuner connects with my website on program startup, checks for a newer version, and gives the user the option to update if any new updates exist. This software doesn't need to be installed and will never be a part of system start-up or scheduled tasks. I found it a bit odd how other tuning software did this, when all that really does is hog more computer resources. Things to do: -Finish making GUI -Make website -Finish premium unlocker -Beta testing

Actually no, there are people ten times worse than you

Some of the smaller stuff I just can't deal with all the time. When the same person abuses me by doing a price change six times, goes back and forth between free and premium, changing the 180x180 multiple times, and quits the community and comes back in 1-2 days, all for a single script... that's when you become my lowest possible priority. The script writers who have better scripts and do things right the first time (or at least put forth effort), will generally get a better experience with me. Help me and I will help you. I have no problem doing this job, just please be a little patient and understand I have a somewhat busy life.

Friday I was at work for 12-13 hours, last night I went out drinking to celebrate finishing my finals, today I am going through SDN Upload requests. Edit: It's also not as simple as just giving someone the access. That person has to get trained, we have to worry about how trustworthy that person is, we have the new SDN system which Zach made, we need to scope out and find someone who is competent with java to review scripts, etc. I'm all for having another person as a manager, but I don't think there is anyone in the community I could really trust besides a few select people who would NOT want to do this.

This is something Maldesto and I can handle, the Developers don't need to take their time away. Personally, I think we should just get a whole new layout. I'll talk this over with Maldesto about this though, great idea.

I already have 4 other scripts to maintain, feel free to run competitor-free, Nitrousek -Alek

@Mikasa, kDruids in Taverly is a great training spot and is comparable to kWarriors. A lot of people use it as a "money making" script because it drops herbs, however warriors drop the same herbs at about the same rate. Despite this, I plan on adding some sort of looting. If I make it completely free, I'm sure many scripters who have theirs priced at over $5 would be very disgruntled. There will probably be some revision soon and I will make an announcement either today or tomorrow.

@Nitrousek - That's why I removed kUnicorns and kGoats from my website and the SDN (it's stated above in case you only skimmed through )

Figured I would post a little background on my scripts, with the particular theme of my donations (a hot topic). First I would like to start with some history: May 2013 - While at a competitor botting client where I was a scripter, there was no method of distributing (no SDN) besides sending the class files. Eventually a few people made something called a "script loader", however the fees to use this third party software was outrageous and you lost complete control of your script. From here I decided to make my own authentication system for my first premium script, kCatherbyCooker. The authentication system was bare bones and keys/serials were hand made, emails were sent manually. June 2013 - I had left the competitor bot and joined OSBot. There was a lack of scripts here and it was apparent that the community was in desperate need of scripts of significant value. I tried to quickly learn the VASTLY different API and utilized various snippets to include @Brainfree's behemoth called "Splinewalking". The script that came out of this was kMiner, with the first location being in Varrock. I knew this project was going to be big so I implemented a "Live Stat" system which tracked total ores mined, exp gained, etc. The users that started to use the script was skyrocketing and I decided to add more and more free areas. Everyone was having a huge success and enjoying the free AIO mining script. I didn't want to flip on all my customers and start demanding money, however the time I invested and the quality of the script deserved some sort of recognition. This was the turning point. I confronted Kati and various other developers about adding additional areas that were donator only areas, however I would retain the free areas. What was convincing was that the "free" and "donator" aspect were contained within the same script, meaning I wouldn't neglect the free version. I got the "go ahead" with the stipulation that I made it clear on my website that the funds were to be obtained only by me and not for the development of OSBot. From here and still to this day, all funds are used to maintain my website, purchase legal versions of software, and pay for incurred expenses as part of scripting. A proggy from kMiner: Present - Eventually I had to shut down kMiner because the project was entirely too time consuming. The supporting donators I had were rewarded by having continued access to the script, which went on to live for an additional 4 months without breaking from lack of updates. In summary, the script gained over 4 billion exp with an estimated 3.7 billion exp coming from free users only. I still wanted to continue scripting but didn't want to jump into another AIO. From here I decided to create combat scripts, a section which was lacking at the time. My combat scripts followed the same principles as kMiner, having a script entirely functional with some extra perks for donators. Most my combat scripts are based around combat experience as the core element, with looting as a perk. I've had great success with kWarriors: and also from kOgres: However I did make a mistake with kGoats and kUnicorns. These were two scripts that had a core of money making with combat exp as being an additional perk. However the problem with these scripts, was that the core of the script was only available to donators (looting). After multiple reviews and complaints from other script developers, these scripts have been removed from my website and the SDN. I am sorry for circumventing the system, and I hope that the community doesn't think less of me because of what happened. As it stands, it appears that a few scripters still have an objection with me. These scripters however are in direct competition with me and it seems that my donation prices are much lower than their premiums. Although I will not name them out of respect, I feel that their script prices are heavily inflated and is largely backed by their desire to make money (not a bad thing, their scripts are of high quality and are deserving). I will keep trucking along and seeking to make new, quality scripts that users on a budget can enjoy while providing those generous donators a token of my appreciation. There has been some great stuff I have been working on and my authentication system just keeps getting better. As it stands, the system is fully automated and the minor hiccups are now easily tracked and addressed. Thanks for your time and I hope this clarifies many of your questions. Respectfully and with much love, Alek

For those who cba. TL;DR: Scammed someone so my aunt died.

Why do you keep saying "declined"? Your SDN Upload Request has never been in the declined section and you never had to make a re-application. I've been trying to be helpful on your application, guiding you through the process.

Just read the product reviews or the topic... I stopped kMiner months ago and tried to kill it multiple times but people insisted it still worked.

I think posts under 40 words shouldn't count either. We have trolls like Gh0st who make posts like "lol", just to raise it to 3,000+.

This is a great idea. Support.

Moving to spam, this doesn't belong in Development.

The first rant you had was directed towards me, now you are making a rant directed toward another scripter. I was kind enough to not lock your thread against me and Maldesto was nice enough to explain to you the rules. Since you didn't read it the first time, I'm re-linking you to the rules. http://osbot.org/forum/topic/14781-rules/ In regards to the broken script(s), please report it under SDN Scripts > Report broken (here): http://osbot.org/forum/forum/146-report-broken/

I've been doing this on multiple botting clients since the release of the Old School. I'm a scripter first, Script Manager second. Also, you can still use the script, however some advanced features require a nominal donation. I've asked Kati and the previous admins in the past and they have had no problem with this.

#1 is much more custom and less templatey. It's a nice design which fits the intended purpose.

My authentication system is something I created from scratch using PHP/MySQL/Java. I used this same auth system previously on other botting clients and it worked well. The price for my scripts is generally $4/lifetime per account, which I feel is fairly priced. It's also a little bit easier to purchase an auth for a friend and sending him/her that auth. Support for clients regarding refunds, account activation problems, etc. is overwhelming easier to manage because I host everything.

Maldesto is correct. Either: 1. The script never had a discount 2. Discounts only apply to primary groups 3. Maybe we cannot include seconday groups I will also not be adding discounts to primary groups of anything other than Sponsor/VIP. I don't think Moderators, Admins, Script Writers, Chatbox Mods, or Script Managers (me) should get discounts. This will be looked into today. Thanks for the heads up.

@Hashplant - I'm going through scripts up to two months ago. They deserve at least the chance to recover from such a tragic setback. Your script(s) will be reviewed and added in due time. Please be patient.

Gladiator, I'm not getting paid either. And this is the last time I'm going to tell you that I'm not a Moderator/Administrator. I work for the scripters, developers, and Maldesto. I do not work for VIPs, Sponsors, GFX artists, Moderators, Verified Transactors, etc., although sometimes I may lend out my helping hand.
