i feel dumb for having to ask but idk what everyone is talking about with this new web walking thing can someone enlighten me?

Your runescape character can travel anywhere from any starting position

Everyone's talking about it because for script developers, they only need to add in a few lines of code to seamlessly integrate it into their scripts.

The OSBot client devs did the majority if not all of the work for webwalking.

you feel dumb?

i dont even know what webwalking is.. if this makes you feel better.

As a user, just imagine it as: Scripters do not have to hard code paths in their scripts anymore to traverse from point A to point B.

Scripters can just say one line, walk to(some spot)

and the web walking handles finding the path from point A to point B.

 

That is really all you need to know if your not interested in the details. :P

that actually sounds awesome for scripter and for anyone who is learning scripting seems like they made it easier for u guys

Could you go more into detail for someone who is somewhat interested in coding for Java?

A web is essentially two main concepts. 

 

1) Graph theory fundamentals

2) Pathfinding

 

If you know and understand those two concepts, you can understand the concept of a web walker. 

Basically the "web" is just a weighted graph, and the path is then generated using pathfinding (A* specifically)

 

From that you have a path from A to B. 

I dont know your level of knowledge on either of those topics, but start with graph theory fundamentals.
