SRL Archive - OSR Help

Hi Guys,
Just a quick one. What function should i use to detect the presence of the blue onscreen private chat text?
I want to make a procedure that plays a quick sound whenever someone messages me in OSRS.
Thanks

if (CountColor(BlueChatColor, MCX1, MCY1, MCX2, MCY2) > 0) then
  WriteLn('Weeeeoooooooweeeeeeeeeeoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!');

Is there a way of retrieving the message?

I don't play 07 so I haven't tested, but you should be able to use

WriteLn('The Private Chat is: ' + GetTextAtExWrap(MSX1, MSY1, MSX2, MSY2,0,5,2, BlueChatColor, 0, SmallChars07));

Note that I have taken the GetTextAtExWrap from GetChatBoxText by ZephyrsFury. Things I've changed:

The area that it looks for text I changed from the line in the chatbox to the whole mainscreen (Because that's where it is I think)
BlueChatColor, replace this with the color of your text (use the color picker tool)

No problem, let me know if it works or not :)

Well, it kind of worked lol This is what it should have read:

The Private Chat is: Snow man has logged in. Snow man has logged out.

And this is what i got:

The Private Chat is: S Tnows ka hnS a lsTnows k oa h gn geda ls io ngg de ?out

Don't know if smallchars are the correct fonts, make an array of all fonts and put them in a for to do loop.

Well im guessing you mean just make an array that loops through the procedure using different chars in turn. The problem i have is trying to find the different char types as typing in chars only brings up the chars that start with 'Char' not any function that includes 'char' in it.

No such luck with those either :(

If it is the chat above the chatbox for Pm's , it might be a different font then everything else, in which case you would have to make your own font set, or just use pixel count or Something along that nature.

Have you tried switching the chat to display inside the chatbox? (idk if that option is there for 07 scape like it was in rs2)

if you can, then it should be same font
