DC's AIO - How to script for OSBot

[DeckardCain]

Hello everyone;

 

I've been helping a few people out on Discord with their scripts and understanding the API and I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to make my own video series covering everything you need to know to get a script up and running in OSBot. Each episode will be streamed on YouTube, then edited down to only the essential information, uploaded as a video and embedded into this page under its heading.

 

The main topics will be listed below. People comment additional topic ideas at the bottom of this thread or you can PM / Discord me.

No videos on YouTube?

I personally hate video tutorials and actively avoid watching them. Scrolling through an organized wall of text lets me find what I need when I need it, rather than skipping through a video. Do you have transcripts or something you can attach to them, when you get around to it?

Good effort though, be glad to at least skip over the finished product.

There doesn't seem to be any videos on that channel. In any case, great initiative! I would love to watch those videos!

Yes, I've started this initiative two days ago. Currently almost have that stream all broken down and rendered out, so they should be hitting the channel soon. I will be posting the individual links on my original post, so if you get notifications enabled for that post you'll know when they come out (alternatively you can also sub to the channel).

Hmm... I hear you there... I was actually thinking of writing an OSBot Manual of sorts. If I see a demand for it / see that people are actually using these videos, then I will write one.
