How do I start making RS scripts?

[cownap]

My goal is to create my own scripts to run on the Tribot 07' Runescape Client. I definitely have the time to dedicate to do this. I just don't know where to start.

- What do I need to learn first to begin?
- What programs (if any) do I need to download?
- How do you begin writing a Runescape 07' script?

I'm making some pretty decent progress using JRuby (Ruby + Java). If you don't have any prior programming experience I'd recommend it. Java on it's own it probably more than enough to build a decent bot - but Ruby on top of it makes it a lot more intuitive and easy to write.

Also worth checking out the Sikuli Script IDE (link here). You can use this tool alone pretty effectively for basic tasks in-game by supplying it with a series of screenshots. For instance if you supply it with an image of some item on the screen it will locate that item in-game when you run the script and click on it. It does it in a very human-like way as well, it doesn't always click on a specific pixel, human-like mouse movements, etc.

If you're a real keener, Sikuli has an extensible API that you can load into your own java application if you want to add additional feateares to it to counter anti-bot protection, e.g., more randomness, random event protection, logout after a period of time, etc. The benefit of using Sikuli in addition to your own Java application is that you don't have to write a complicated screen/pixel scanning algorithm for finding shit on your own. You can also run it in JRuby if you feel the need.

Oh by the way, here's a video of Sikuli in action for a simple runescape bot:

The user has other Sikuli Script botting examples on his channel.

Thanks will look into JRuby.

Also Sikuli looks very easy to someone with no language knowledge, is it really as easy as it looks? Are the scripts not advanced?
