DreamBot Deprecated Removals on 10/31/22 [ACTION REQUIRED]

[Pandemic 2852]

Hello everyone,

As we've stated in the previous post, we're planning on the release of our new walker to coincide with a large removal of deprecated classes, methods, and fields from across our API.

Today we're setting the planned date of this release to be October 31, 2022. Any and all scripts currently using these deprecated methods will not work after this release. Scripters should make sure all deprecated uses are replaced by this date, I believe most things being removed have a replacement.

You can find everything that's being removed on our Javadocs, along with helpful information about what to replace it with. Most IDE's can also point out any uses of deprecated methods/classes.

Thanks,

The Dream Team

Fingers crossed that any impacted scripts aren't down for too long! Thanks for the update and the transparency

Did something happend to Widgets and WidgetChilds? my custom scripts all give me nullpointers even when nullchecking (they used to work all perfectly).

Exception has occurred while running! Please report error to developer if problem persists
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.dreambot.api.methods.widget.Widget.getChild(int)" because the return value of "org.dreambot.api.methods.widget.Widgets.getWidget(int)" is null.

Widget IDs do change from time to time, could be that

Sir you are not null checking.
