SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

Desided to devote a thread to this one. After all, it is the reason why our scripts didnt survive a single logout/in.
This is not good. It means we will need to come with some kind of plan for 100% solid colorfinders.This will be a challenge.

Think about it.

We will need to concentrate on shape detection I thiink. First find the shape/edge and then sample colors. Maybe even sample a 2 bits bitmap of the entire minimap and use bens edge detection to determine where the colors are.

All our energy into ColorFinding, if we want to survive this.

What about just using more tolerance? =( or is that no longer an option either?

or just make the script keep on running even if it doesn't find a color ;)

I've recently completed my Guildminer (Just today) which uses auto color detection, but if it cant find the color, it will attempt to carry on the script anyway, and so far it is working magnificantly :) . as for login and logout, maybe we should reset all colors at logout so the scripts are forced to autopick all colors again?

So, let me get this straight?

We have to get the Color for an item every time we log in? So, we would have to do something like this?

[PHP]begin
if(NextPlayer) and
Players[CurrentPlayer].Loc:='Bank' then
begin
FindVarrockWestColors;
end;
begin
if(NextPlayer) and
Players[CurrentPlayer].Loc:='Mine' then
begin
WalkToBank; {Using Laggy Bitmap, or Dtm FUnctions, will be fixed once player is in bank, and colors can be found.}
end;
end;
end;[/PHP]

Interesting bit of code Chuck, I never knew NextPlayer could be used like that.

I think the colors only change the first time you log out and in. So maybe we are lucky after all…

I'll do a test. Colorpicking a fish icon, logging out move colorpicker to exact coord, and repeat, I'll post results!

Sorry Fakawi, I think they just tried to trick us, the first time you log in it is really dark, all the next times you login it's lighter.

This was a test I used with the road colour manually…

program New;
var
 tcol : Integer;
begin
  tcol :=GetColor(646, 104);
  Writeln(IntToStr(tcol));

end.

Fish Icon, I said I was going to do it. What happened there Chuck? :p

its even worse. Colors change at each …loading please wait… screen. Confirm please…

Not everyone, sometimes it just randomly changes…

I was picking the raod colour while running a script, and helping it walk back, and forth..

Already tested that Fakawi…

It's true, the colors randomly* change, SRL will need some major overhauling now..

*=Not sure if its completely random…

yup.

Thus ends our quest.

Couldnt you make a small function that runs like every 5 seconds… and it will check for black screen, Then autocoloring function will run. Just an idea :D

Not sure if this would work, but from my understand it should.

For every loading screen, the script would no where they were, and have a bitmap set for each place were the loading screens apply.

Then they would use colorfinding at each loading screen?

May be a bit farfetched, but I am just trying..

not a big problem in my opinion but you should ask pplsuqbawlz if anything big arises he's your man on this subject.

depending on how much the color changes per loading screen just re-pick the color at the login and use tolerance, or you can just use a solid dtm/bmp/color tolerance each time.

the best way to get a good color is to take about 50 samples of a color and screen them together and get a perfect color and tolerance.

Our new engine will be based around the …loading please wait… screen.

i honestly believe that it should be fixed script side :rolleyes:

From: ioklio
sounds good! :). hopefully everything goes well. Im still trying to figure out the player switching thinggy so colors are one of my last worrys. lol.

Currently, because of the Runescape update, logging in doesn't work anymore. Learn PlayerArrays, a couple [..when we get a solution and totally fixing a bunch of stuff in SRL] later.

From: WT-Fakawi
Our new engine will be based around the …loading please wait… screen.

Fakawi, please do not detect the screen by finding the text "Loading please wait" on the screen. I suggest that if it finds the color 0 on the minimap at anytime (the colour of the blackness that you see before you hit the loading screen,) this will be better detection for the Loading screen.

Just my suggestion..

Edit: Most colorfinding can be done using tolerances now, such as these two MapWalkers.
