I have been writing my own simple fishing script because of this... Thank a lot! Will post the source once completed.

Really helpful to get started.Thank you

Apologies guys, it seems I got unfollowed from the thread. If you get stuck feel free to post here and I should get a notification from now on

 

cheers!

Is there a way to test your coding as you write it? In this tutorial you write the whole script, export it and add it to the client. I've always coded (never rs related) testing everything I write in small increments, as I code it.

For sure. For more complex scripts, you would write it a bit at a time, and test each bit by exporting the unfinished project. Ofcourse the script must compile (i.e no errors), but yes you can. In this case I wrote everything without even testing it because it's simple enough. In an Ideal world I would have tested the script but I was away from home while writing this tutorial. But for most scripts, you get the backbone done in stages, then add the bells and whistles eg special attack stuff, potions, food etc for combat scripts, or marks of grace for rooftop scripts etc.

Are you sure you've exported it as the correct file type? Also perhaps clear your local scripts folder and have JUST this script in there and see if that happens. It can sometimes be a little fiddly. You can then move your other scripts back in once it pops up

I've been struggling with this for hours too. I followed all the instructions, and apart from running eclipse on a USB drive(still exported to my scripts) and renaming the "OSBot 2.4.68" to just "OSBot" and my script won't show up. I then tried to use your code and do everything as you did and it still didn't show up, so I downloaded other scripts, placed them in and I could see them. Any idea what the issue is?

[ch4d]

to make the script show up make sure you export is as a jar.

 

after you have the jar file. 

 

Go into Drive->Username->OsBot->Scripts

 

That is where you put the .jar file for the client to pick it up and use it. After putting it in there I would restart client and then refresh your script page inside the client and it should show up. That is how i got mine to show up.

Try as ch4d suggested below.

Additionally, perhaps try clearing everything in your local scripts folder and exporting again. Sometimes this folder can be quite buggy

1. Make sure you have the @ScriptManifest annotation above your class that extends Script. It won't show up otherwise.
2. Make sure you have no compiler errors when you export the script.
3. Make sure the script is actually exported to the .jar file (open up the .jar file and check it is inside)
4. Make sure the script.jar is inside the C:\Users\Username\OSBot\Scripts directory
5. If you have done all of the above, backup your scripts to another directory, delete the OSBot folder, restart the client, add your script to the newly created Scripts directory, refresh the script list and see if it shows up.
6. If you have tried all of these, pm a scripter and maybe they can assist you over teamviewer.
