Ok, so I also have a script for grabbing the Wine of Zamorak at the chaos temple north of Falador in Runescape.

Here is the script, currently v1.23.

It will not run with the current production RSBot, v2.52. Here is a link to the current beta, v2.53. You may also go to GitHub where Paris keeps the source, and you can compile the bot from that.

Either way you will have a beta version of the bot. I don’t add anything to the bot (that upstream hasn’t merged) so it is a safe copy, but if it really matters to you t ogt

Currently, the script will walk to the temple from Falador, wait for wines to appear and tele-grab them. It will also teleport to Falador and walk to the bank, and deposit the wines grabbed, get a number of law runes (building to hold 100 in inventory) so you don’t need to pack 1000’s of expensive law s with you, in the event you get killed by the monks.

If you’re holding an edible item (or a number of a single food) in inventory, the script will eat them as needed, and will expect that you have more of that item in the bank and will exit if you don’t. It will not pull more water runes from the bank, so if it runs out it will exit. The waters are needed to teleport to Falador, so this is a good way to limit the bot’s running time.

If you get attacked, the script will teleport out if your HP falls below 50%/the level you select in the GUI. It will eat available food until that point.

If you set the options in the GUI, the script will hop worlds (thanks to jtryba on PowerBot for the worldHop method!) and rest while walking back to the temple. It will also check for updates from here if you let it.

I’ve left this post here for those that may wish to improve on my previous work.

So…I play runescape, and I discovered the wonder program RSBot. It’s written in Java, as is RuneScape itself. It allows you to bot your character when doing repetitive tasks, like cutting trees, killing cows, mining essence, etc.

Here is a script I’m maintaining for killing cows.

I’m no longer providing a .jar, because the script is now in Powerbot’s SDN.

Script is autoupdating. It will only look for updates when you tell it to do so from the GUI at the start. If there’s an update available, it will again ask you if you wish to download it.

You are always free to manually update, and the code is available for your inspection from the first link above. Just open it in a text-editor.

This link is for the latest version, 3.33, of the script. You need RSBot v.2.52+ to compile this script.

But I didn’t post this to start a fight, but to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, recall some (ok, 1?) post from Christmases past, and post my thoughts for this year.

First, last year I did a writeup on those very ambitious folks synchronizing lights and music for Christmas.

I just want us all to remember old fashioned Christmases past.

Merry Christmas!

I was blown the fsck away by the clip. The quality of both the story AND the CGI are amazing. If this is what can be done with Blender, Pixar and Disney best watch their backsides, lest they get cooked.

The hospital is owned by Dimensions Health Corporation.

The ID bracelet had a different name, appearing to be that of a woman and a birthdate that was 13 years prior to his own. In attempting to leave, the nurses called security, and the two guards that arrived literally beat him up, causing more injuries.

When superiors intervened, they seemed more interested in retrieving the erroneous ID bracelet. One woman, a possible administrator, is claimed to have offered a private room and the pain-killer of his choice. When Mr. Wheeler declined further treatment and declined to give up the ID bracelet, a guard charged him, injuring him further.

Personally, I’d have kept the bracelet too. It’s now proof that the hospital fucked up in the first place, then tried to hide the fact once they figured out the problem. Holding your customers illegally doesn’t work. Perhaps if the nurse that was first approached actually used her brains, this would have been avoided.

I wonder if this is the kind of “health care” envisioned by Obama and the Dems?

My laptop has a 500GB drive, partitioned out to boot however many OS’s I have on it at a given time (4 right now) as well as stashes for documents, etc shared between each OS, and my [...]]]> So, I’m here cleaning various partitions on my laptop. I decided that my 500GB drive needs some re-arranging.

My laptop has a 500GB drive, partitioned out to boot however many OS’s I have on it at a given time (4 right now) as well as stashes for documents, etc shared between each OS, and my home directory as used in Linux.

Our file server (Alyssa-Server) has over 2TB of drives, 2 250GB, a 640GB and a 1TB. The 250’s are mirroring each other, the 640 is for program installers, and the TB is for anime/movies. I may move my music there too.

So, since I have all this room just a Ethernet cable away, it makes sense to move the stuff I want to save off to the server (I have a share just for backups) to get it out of my way then bring it back in after I’m done massaging the partitions on Lazarus to make room to inflict even more Linux on her. (Girl laptop, guy name…read the post.)

However, in the process of moving back I nuked a directory by mistake. Oh shit, the server is running that on ext3, and EVERYONE knows that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to undelete on ext3.

Well, they better tell Carlo Wood his program is “unpossible” then. Mr. Wood (no relation) has written ext3grep, a program that makes recovering your nuked files possible.

It’s not for the weak. Let’s face it, playing with filesystems involves manly code, doing manly things, and it frequently likes to shoot users. I had to edit some source code, but it wasn’t bad.

My biggest issue was that no matter what I did, I couldn’t get ext3grep to ONLY recover files deleted after a certain date/time. I ended up editing the stage2 file (RTFM and you will know, Gwasshoppaw) to include only the directories I wanted back. It looks like someone has submitted a patch to exclude files not matching a given path.

It will take time to run. The partition I was playing with was 200GB large, and it took time to scan. However, once it’s done, it has stage files that it uses to work with.

You can download the source from the Google Group.

As a bonus, Gentoo types can “emerge ext3grep -av” though the ebuild is 1 revision behind; you may be better off just getting the source and compiling it without using Portage.

I attempted to understand, and I actually did learn something, and tried to relate some things from my past that happened to me, not because I’m black, but because I was a teen or a twenty-something, or more recently, because I’m a big guy. (6′6″, 425lbs)

So I get one response that told me I knew nothing of how it is, ironically after telling me to look up “Opression Olympics.”

Told me to look it up, then engaged in some.

The other said “You’re playin’ cause it’s april 1st, right?”

So, my pathetic attempt to understand and show that I have some possible idea was met with hostility and derision.

Yup. Pissed me off. I stopped short of telling them to “Fuck Off” there, because that would be impolite.

But if “Juan” and “A.Smith” are reading this, you’re now on my blog, and here I will give you a wholehearted “Fuck YOU!”

I get many of the same reactions to my presence that was bemoaned in the post and responses that “People of Color” do. (Last time I use that phrase in this post.)

The only difference I can see, when women cross the street to avoid me is that their fear of me because of my size might be justified. If I was of a bit less sturdy moral character, I could probably use my size to my benefit, and profit.

But you took my post, belittled my experience and told me I couldn’t understand. Like what happened to me was in “A galaxy Far Far Away” from your own because you’re black.

I’ve tried to get it, to reach out, and I’ve been rebuffed.

YOU don’t get it.

To make people understand your problems, they first have to identify with them. Then, having some inkling of what it is you face, they are more willing to acknowledge your problem and help you fix it.

I may not fully get it, I don’t get discriminated against for my skin color. But I’m the “Dumbass” because someone of my size can’t possible be a good computer tech, “they too dumb.”

Or I’m the bully because people my size are always the bad guy. “He’ll break you with his fingers.”

I must have been a football player, or I should be a wrestler or a bouncer.

Those last 3 aren’t as offensive, but they are tiresome.

So I sampled that blog, but I won’t be going back. Except to see if my profanity-free response to what got tossed at me gets put on, or moderated out.

Me, I need traffic. Post away.
