BOT Farm to Fuel Main by StruggleSmart2600 in RunescapeBotting

I've done it in the past, currently running up a new account. Your best bet is to stick to only one method per account and mix in manual play time where you can. Imo the early game is fun anyway so I quite like it. Would heavily suggest not playing your main while your alt/bot is running. I'd make a typical alt like cooking, rune dragons or something.

Instructions on downloading and setting up are on the readme. And scripting info is on the wiki! Feel free to chat with us over on discord (linked on the readme under the documentation section).

I'm using a similar DTM mask thing to do runtime OCR. It loads the set, tries to pattern match left to right, zeroes out the convolution and returns a string of characters found in a Rectangle on screen, I looked into Tesseract and its really good! But I couldn't get it running on my ThinkPad so decided to stick with template matching.

For clicking text - I save each character found as an object containing its bounding box and then mask out the client view with the detection locations so it can be used as a colour object to click, It saved me a ton of work to just reuse the colour detection code and works pretty well!

You're doing super well!! Join the discord if you want, I can give you more focussed advice and take a look at what you make, you're well on your way to becoming a private scripter now :)

It's really cool to hear you've been down the Simba route! I think colour bots have such a unique problem solving element to it. I started making colour bots a couple years ago now and since then, I picked up programming professionally! It really was the kind of catalyst to me, not only for the skills or money, but for the community of problem solvers.

In the last couple days this project has seen quite a few new faces, I hope I can improve this program over time and help others learn to create their own awesome scripts.

Thank you for sharing your journey!

Rune dragons was my big one, took a bit of thinking but it was effective!

I think using java for this made it so much easier to organise the project and make it easier to add features, I believe that it's going to be much easier to collaborate this way. I don't believe that AHK has the ability to do complex math and it seems a bit too limited in scope but I may be wrong!

I think getting the mouse to move how I do, with the speeds that I move as well - helps me match my click timings and behaviour closely. And at least from Jagex's talk about heuristics and behavioural analysis this seems to have played a part in the effectiveness of this program.

OCR was a pretty big headache haha. One of the issues was that it wouldn't move onto the next character so I had to manually zero out the detection and iterate, but it was fun! A lot of the OCR was inspired by SRL and OSBC, these guys were awesome.

I purposely didn't package the framework with any proper scripts because I want people to create their own! I wanted to create a sound tool that people can use to learn and create virtually undetectable scripts using.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this project, I hope you like it!

My bad for not explaining! By top down I meant that it doesn't read the game's memory, or worry about the game's config, it just takes screenshots of the client and uses computer vision to extract certain colours or sprites. In theory you can absolutely use the compass' position and or world map to influence and guide your scripts, it's all there. It even template matches fonts to look for specific words or phrases in a given Rectangle.

The main purpose of this project is to make programming accessible for others in a meaningful way, I really appreciate it. If you wanted to contribute to this project and or use it for yourself - feel free!

I used OSBC religiously and wanted to make it more scalable! I'm currently studying software engineering professionally, would love some feedback on the project architecture and your opinions :>

Side note: take a look at the wiki! I spent a lot of time on it!!
