Here's something new I found out about SCAR :)

I've always only used GetClientCanvas for copying from, but did you know that you can also use it as a destination for a bitmap?

Target your desktop, and run this script:

program New;

var
  Bitmap: Integer;
  W, H: Integer;

begin
  Bitmap := CreateBitmapMaskFromText('Hello, World!', UpChars);
  GetBitmapSize(Bitmap, W, H);
  CopyCanvas(GetBitmapCanvas(Bitmap), GetClientCanvas, 0, 0, W, H, 0, 0, W, H);
end.

Not sure if you already know this or not. Just figured I'd show you :)

This is cool :D :D :D
Great for onscreen progress reports ;)

edit: Try this code :p

program New;

begin
  GetClientCanvas.Font.color := clAqua;
  Getclientcanvas.Font.Name := 'Arial';
  repeat
  GetClientCanvas.TextOut(10, 10, 'Hello World!!!!!');
  until(isfkeydown(12));
end.

Ooh, I like that :)

i was actually thinking this a few days ago (im not lying), but I didn't think it was gonna work because runescape refreshes every few ms. some of it doesn't tho.

program New;
{.include SRL/SRL.scar}

begin
  SetupSRL;
  Getclientcanvas.Font.Name := 'Arial';
  repeat
    GetClientCanvas.TextOut(100, 438, 'Running for ' + ScriptTime2(2));
    wait(250);
  until(isfkeydown(12));
end.

It seems that some parts of the client don't constantly refresh

i also knew about this for quite a while, but that repainting issue was what got in the way of anything
but now that i think of it, it could be done that you have another Scar which constants draws onto it, and use SendInterScarMessage
also bear in mind this would be seen by FindColor and stuff

Would it be possible for them to detect it?

The only place I can think of that won't interfere with anything is the chat-input line

well it also works right above the chatbox too. (theres other places but are not wide enough)

I was also wondering if Jagex would detect it.

Hmm…
