SRL Archive - News and General

Well, the other day as I was browsing through the members section, I saw all of these posts about people and their mining procedures. Since SRL Members is making such a "competition" of it, I thought why not make it official :D: thus I am hosting this competition.


Ok the rules are as follows.

• No Plugins (sorry all you C++ fans). You are of course allowed to use plugins in you functions (you are allowed to make your own), but you must have a reasonable amount of coding inside SCAR.
• No Copying other peoples functions. This is pretty much a given. The way to keep this rule is simple , do not show you functions to anyone. If any functions are the very close to the same (and i mean really close), those two will be disqualified b/c I don't know who's originally it was. All's fair in love and war as they say, so if you let others see your functions, expect your style to be copied.

Grading will be determined by the following:

Creativity (X / 25)
I want these procedures to be top of the line, cutting edge. I want you to use the most advanced techniques you know. I want to see things No one has ever done before. Use your mind!

Professional (X / 15)
by this i mean, don't make parameters specific. I want to see professionally created / designed procedures. Use variables for returning center points and different things and make it a function only if it needs to be boolean.

Technique (X / 30)
This will be based on the different techniques you use. I won't give any away here but its basically how you do what you do (this differs from creativity b/c that is just the creativeness. This is actually getting the job done

Standards (X / 15)
Follow correct standards. Comment procedures. I know these probably will not be in SRL(99% sure they wont :D), but i still want them to look neat. Even spacing between procedures, etc.

Requirements (X / 50)
I put so much emphasis on these because this is the reason of this whole competition. I here are the basics that will fill this category:

• Speed
• Finds rock (would be a good idea to find center, I can't tell you what else to return but remember, you don't get points counted off for returning more things :D)
• Failsafes
• DONT add randoms

Well, I know this is why most will be entering this competition so I am going to offer you two things:
1. Respect = Call it anything you like but if you win the competition, you will be known as one of the most talented scripters here because I know of some very talented scripters who are entering.
2. 600k - 1m runescape GP out of my pocket = I have no need for rs money so i decided to offer this up :D.



HSL Tutorial by Lorax
Any of the color tutorials by R0b0t1 in the Advanced Tuts section, go to this one in paticular.
Check here for all the newest mining procedures.

.

Well this example is very simple. When I say very, I mean very. It gives you an idea of what you function should. I tried to make it return some good details while not giving out any ideas. Try this on a mithril rock.

function FindRock(var cx, cy: integer; Color, Tol: integer; Hue,
 Sat: extended): boolean;
var
  cts, pMark: integer;
  cPoints: TPointArray;
begin
  pMark:= GetSystemTime;
  SetColorSpeed2Modifiers(Hue, Sat);
  cts:= GetColorToleranceSpeed;
  ColorToleranceSpeed(2);
  cx:= 260;
  cy:= 167;
  if not FindColorSpiralTolerance(cx, cy, Color, 10, 10, 506, 328,
   Tol) then exit;
  FindColorsSpiralTolerance(cx, cy, cPoints, Color, cx - 25, cy - 25,
    cx + 25, cy + 25, Tol);
  MiddleTPAEx(cPoints, cx, cy);
  ColorToleranceSpeed(cts);
  Writeln('FindRock time is '+IntToStr(GetSystemTime - pMark)+' msec');
  result:= true;
end;

FindRock time is 15msec
Rock Found at (287,201)

Ehh… jumping the gun are we? I thought we'd at least stick to the plan.

Sounds good though I may even make one :p Cause I'm kinda poor atm… :(

Haha, well not really jumping the gun. This is like a personally hosted comp :D. BTW when are changes going to be made. Anyways yeah hopefully you will enter :D.

Haha cool. What will you be judging on? Speed, accuracy or what? Maybe add some more information into the competition, its pretty vague. Like a maximum amount of functions/procedures, etc.

Looks good though ;) When is the due date?

Noob for not reading whole post…. Joking Hah. Um read top post no deadline yet. I will make a little more organized tomorrow. And just for right now, it will be judged on who's is the best

But what makes something the best? I mean you could have a super super fast procedure which moved the mouse over stuff with the rock color 100 times a second until it found the uptext. Or you could have a really accurate procedure, which only moved the mouse to the rock and clicked it, but got the rock every single time.

Everything you said in first post. Like i said, I will make it more clear this afternoon :D

Or you could have a really accurate procedure, which only moved the mouse to the rock and clicked it, but got the rock every single time.

Like mine? :D :D :D

I'll be parcipating too, I wanna see how claw kicks our asses :p

Naa lets not let him win!

I'm interested. Might make time to write a mining procedure… ;)

[withtiredabouttocollapsesound] oh my god [/withtiredabouttocollapsesound]

Ben gets 600-1m and respect if he wants lol, he just makes an uberl33t c++ hax which reads the rock positions from peoples minds! :eek:

I definetly want to see what ben makes ;)

Haha…mine would own all of yours. Simple FindColorSpiralTolerance :)

Hah ok time to get this post organized

You could have contacted me and i would have made it an official one you know… a lot of people are in a queue to help host a competition with their ow ideas :)

Actually, I know who you are talking about and it was kinda my idea in the first place. Anyways if you want to move this thread there, feel free. I was thinking of making it members only, but whatever you want to do(I'm not in charge :D)

Star, I think if you want, I'll send you the info for the comp I'm planning on running.

Pwnaz0r, when we were talking about it I thought you meant like next month or something, I was planning on still having the team scripting competition, I'll send SB the post I want him to make "Or whatever he wants to do". Just to get people thinking about it.

Ok ima talk to you on msn.

no AntiRandoms? hmm ok lol. when's the due date?

From: The Claw
no AntiRandoms? hmm ok lol. when's the due date?

I mean, its really just wasted time. And the due date, plan on it being thursday(since its only a few functions, 3 days should be enough time correct? its not like a whole script). I am leaving friday afternoon so yeah. It seems a little short on time but i think i might try to find a way extend this deadline a bit (maybe send them to someone else to grade?)

if no plugins or any java *caugh* ben….. then im in… :) (only SCAR) :)

From: SKy Scripter
if no plugins or any java *caugh* ben….. then im in… :) (only SCAR) :)

good lol. seems to be some good competition

if no plugins or any java *caugh* ben….. then im in… (only SCAR)

Duh, Im pretty sure ben gave a pretty good asskick to everyone with… Math.SCAR lol, he doesnt need plugins or java ;)

EDIT: nor food or sleep.

people dont join i am gonna win ;) so if no one is going to join i will :D

z3h im gonna take my guild miner procedure!

Where should i send my work? PM? EMail?

*puts his object finder into scar and uses accuracy *wins*

From: pwnaz0r

• No Plugins (sorry all you C++ fans). You are of course allowed to use plugins in you functions (you are allowed to make your own), but you must have a reasonable amount of coding inside SCAR.

By reasonable, do you mean at least one line :garfield:

 FindBlobs(GetClientCanvas.handle,0,0,w,h,tpa,len,8805210,50,40,250);

That will find any old mith rock, for any other rock, pick a random color off of it… For the new rocksI'd have to add in an upper tolerance as well as lower, but anyway… If its Thursday I'm not going to have time to write something in scar with school and other stuffs. :rolleyes:

By the way, its run time is 4.22ms in case you are shooting for something to beat :)

Yeah i thought benland100 would run away from me XD

Dude that's no fair..
We need to see that plugin, you better release it open-sourced.. or not release it at all ;)
do it for mopar!

Hah, I think he should just release it period. Anyways Ben, I guess i have no right to hold that against you, since C++ is you thing. Make sure to make it accurate though. I have been talking with some members (so many devs entering thought i would see what the members are doing) and they seem really good ideas. I have even showed 2 a few things(didnt help in their procedures though, just taught some things). If your a member and you want a base start, pm me on msn - [email]pwnaz0r@hotmail.com[/email]. Developers dont complain, you kick my arse anyways so i dont want to hear it :D.


Lorax, I really hope you enter :D.

Ben, I love you…

Sounds like an awesome plugin. If you decide to release it then that would be awesome but if not I can live life.

Added dead line timer. Scroll down until you see alternate time

@Lorax, I know its unfair, you guys can't even get the colors as fast as I can do the whole thing. In reality, Scar's FindColors method is 4 times slower that it could be if arrays were not used dynamically :sasmokin:

From: pwnaz0r
Make sure to make it accurate though.

After about 5 min of tweaking tolerances, this is basically what my results are: Note that average times are the total time it takes to run 100 times, divided by 100, so its pretty accurate (time wise).

Empty Rocks: FindBlobs(GetClientCanvas.handle,0,0,w,h,tpa,len,5526618,15,40,50);
Average Time: 4.22ms

Iron Rocks: FindBlobs(GetClientCanvas.handle,0,0,w,h,tpa,len,2634838,10,40,100);
Average Time: 3.91ms


Mith Rocks: FindBlobs(GetClientCanvas.handle,0,0,w,h,tpa,len,8805210,50,40,250);
Average Time: 4.06ms

Just recognizes pixels next to each other pl0x?


I guess I'll enter… For the heck of it.

Please say that guy was repeating "Need Iron" and that just wasn't that fast. I'm so glad you showed us pictures and didn't release the plugin :)…

Showoff.

From: Santa_Clause
Showoff.

I reserve the right, thank you. Plus, its a fact that a hand-written optimized method will be faster than a generic method, not to mention Delphi's policy on pointers and memory management. Furthermore, this is a competition for the best rock finding procedure is it not? I assume this is an appropriate place to show off your best work, unless my idea of a competition needs to be drastically redefined. Translation: Bight me :p

@Bob, Notice how everything is in the same place, it was an image, not the RS screen ;) However, if I wasn't doing average time, all three tests would have taken just over 12ms, so it could have easily been done that fast.

Ok, I feel a little better now. But I might come to your house to tonight with a floppy/blank cd. Just be asleep before 1 a.m. ;)

*drools*…. At everything. lol. Its like gladiators, and BenLand is Maximus Benlandius the 100th.

omfg

seriously, thats all i can say :eek:

and here i am, proud of my 300ms, 100% accurate finding…….

I still reckon it isn't fair to be able to have plugins :p

From: Santa_Clause

Why not? Because you don't know how to make one yourself? Its not like I'm bending space-time so that the rocks align themselves over a point, and then bend it back so that the points follow the rocks, or anything like that. Wizzup wrote a plugin so that his array sorting methods would be faster; I wrote a plugin so that my object finding would be faster. :)

He's lying. Thats exactly what he's doing. I think he should be disqualified!

Ben can do anything because he doesn't exist in the bounds of time and space, and he's god.

hmm. Ben you have to release the source of your code, you just have to..
but If i entered I would be able to do all the same things you could do.. a rock doesn't have to many things to it.. (a new rock): has a rock color and some rock around it, it's quite simple.. I would use WizzyPlugin aswell..
Still Ben I would like to see how you do that memory management and such, since I am suprised of how well it works..

give this one a shot ben - try to find all the rocks there without finding any part of the ground as well:

Claw if you really want to know what happens inside ben's plugin in that place your rs char is, I cant tell you ;)

His plugin has a long leather coat, like morpheus in matrix.

It pulls out 2 cut shotguns from the coat, jumps a backflip in the air, and in the middle of the backflip, he spins 360 degrees time completely stopped, and shoots all the rocks, prints the blood to canvas ;)

I would love to know how someone from Finland can have such good English :eek:

I had my 1st birthday in US ;) People around me spoke english a lot.

+ I've had now in total 3 years of english in school, and these forums are giving some "experience" too I believe.

Even I usually speak like "but y do u wanna find teh hole rock 'en u need one col?? " I have to sort out the sentence in real english in my head before compiling it to shit.

Lol alright back on topic, I think its only fair to let benland use his plugin. It had better be good though ;).

anything benland makes is good..

From: Lorax
anything benland makes is good..

Agreed. Hopefully you will try to beat him ;)?

MiddleTPAEx(cPoints, cx, cy);

OMG WHAT THE FUCK?? Is that from WizzyPlugin??

If we can use plugins can I reapply?

Because I sent my scripts before I read this first page :(

EDIT: Omfgz0r, I checked WizzyPlugin.scar and it was t3h s3x! I will definetly reapply with usage of it :stirthepot:

Lol, I apply with those functions in my thread. Remember, its just to slow you down in judging :p.


EDIT: You really have to do all that, N3ss3s? Well, then I have sad hopes for spanish… -.-

Its not well suited to finding stuff with very low contrast, would have been much easier to search for the rocks by type individually than try to search for the rock color. Anyway, this is what I got so far, took a little longer at 8.13ms mostly due to the higher tolerance, and more points to sort through. Couldn't seem to get the silver (?) rock without getting false positives elsewhere. Its dark in dark however, plus you'd be searching for the specific type of rock in practice anyway. You might notice that some points are not near the center of the rocks, thats mostly due to it trying to sort through interference from the ground color.
I don't know if it'll have time to strew this together into a rock finding function by tomorrow or not, I'm quite busy with school…

Ben, you are amazing :D. Hopefully you will find something more to do with this (return all points, etc?) If you don't its fine, but i think it would be awesome.

EDIT for your edit:

Deadline is sunday.

Benland! Please…. SOURCE!


Or where you learned how to do that.

From: R0b0t1
Benland! Please…. SOURCE!


Or where you learned how to do that.

Its just his findBlobs Procedure. One could be made in SCAR but it would not be 4ms fast. More like 120 i guess.

4ms! Now thats what i cool tasty :p .

wow dude that is seriously amazing. i also had trouble with the finding the center picking up the ground, so i just had to use FindObjTPA, for this mine. but nah good job. if you put this into srl you would revolutionize the way we find objects.

and if you release the source us noobs (especially me) might just actually learn something :D

From: hugolord

It's written in highly optimized C, most noobs won't understand it ;) But I'll probably release it sometime anyway.

meh.. can't you just make it in simple C? :D:D :f:

Even bens function takes 8ms its still uber fast compared to scar.

[offtopic] CLAW IS A DEV!!! CONGRATZ SO MUCH!!! I was wondering how long it takes lol.. haha, fawki bullshitted me when he was saying they dont need more devs, Rs_Monkey = Dev ++, Clae = Dev ++ graaatz[/offtopic]

Hey Congrats Claw

Pwnaz0r your Inbox is full and I cant send you my newest creation

(78 ms and 100% accurate, shit in your pants fellas!)

Meh, you arent logged in at SRL :( Ill try to peek your MSN from somewhere.

EDIT: New record, 47 milliseconds!

haha thanks guys :) but probably the wrong place for it, theres already a topic in general news :p

    MagicMouseClickRock;
    Break;
  end else
    ConcentrateHarder;
  end;

Pwns you all, takes 0.000000001Ms average :eek:

Ok I'm leaving town until Sunday so

GET THOSE SCRIPTS DONE BEFORE DEADLINE. I will be back before the deadline though :D.

PS. Feel free to just pm them to me ahead of time (tomorrow or the next day)

You know, guys, you could probably try implementing Ben's stuff into your mining procedures…pwnaz0r is going to have it in his plugins folder anyway :)

I dont think so :D

Weird, Im sure I posted =/

Anyways, yeah, I think the motivation to take part here > 50% is to get close or beat ben.

Btw, just to make ben and all of you sweat, 43 ms atm :) And 100% Accurate, I would trust it to take blind man over a road.

program MinerThatOwnsN3ss3s;

begin
  WriteLn('Found Rock');
end.

I'm pretty sure that's faster than 43 Ms ;)

but 0% accurate, sorry, you lose :(

Btw santa are you taking part to the competition?

I can do that to!

Mauhahahahahahaha

Nice bourdou…

Btw I worked on mine after school, made my own plugin which detects all "groups" of the "same coloured colors" with possibly different darkness etc,

and here are the results.

I didnt put the search area as whole screen because for me it somehow messed with the Minimap a little, though I am trying to fix it.

For now,

You shouldn't have said that, it gave me an excelent idea! ;) However, its verry similar to what I'm doing at the moment… That raises the question, however, are we using the "new" rocks or the "old" rocks, or is it our choice. Cause if its the old rocks, i'm essentialy done. The new rocks don't have enough of a "blob" to detect specific types, however, so I'm going to try to go about it another way. Especialy with low contrast rocks like iron.
Current method goes as such:
Mask out colors that do not fit the tolerances,
Arrange points into groups,
Threshold groups.
Very simple, very fast, but low contrast and small sizes makes it much less effective.
I'm thinking more along the lines of:
Detect areas of color,
Mask out unneeded areas (not colors),
Arrange points into groups,
Threashold and arrange groups into close groups(new rocks).
Anyway, guess what i'm going to be doing Saturday ;)

Anyway, guess what i'm going to be doing Saturday

The thing you mentioned above -.-

Meh, why all that shit, FindColorsTolerance FTW?

But I think it should be so that we can choose do we make for old or new rocks. Mine is for old, old rocks own.

Oww, is there a way anyone can beat ben? Except for me ofcourse :p (jk) (na, rly)

Like, he has the ultimate speed, no one can go under 4ms.

He can make any kind of friken accuracy systems, etc…

I think it should do old rocks if it can (possibly submit both)

Please make it so that it doesnt affect your points is it old or new or both, just how good it works and other stuff you have in your first post.

EDIT: Answer my pm plawkx?

From: pwnaz0r

See, my question is how flexible does it need to be in order to win. Like, old/new iron/coal/mith/etc… As in what of those does it need to be able to find ;)

From: BenLand100
See, my question is how flexible does it need to be in order to win. Like, old/new iron/coal/mith/etc… As in what of those does it need to be able to find ;)

The answer is that it is as many as you can. Its up to you. Part of the grading is how much effort the users put into it. However most of the grading is on the technique that you used.

If I were you, I would do the new rocks and the old rocks. (could be one procedure or ten, I don't care). I was actually looking for new rocks too.\

EDIT: this will be my last post till sunday so be ready!

Sent mine to you ;)

Spoiler:

I have one ultimate for old rocks, finds all the rocks of the color on the screen in 47 milliseconds.

I have one HSL one by Pwnaz0r's request, its ugly slow (well still under 500ms though), but also works as supposed.

Then, I made one for the new rocks, which finds new rock on the screen in 94 milliseconds.

I just wrote an entire HSL find colors that takes 30ms to run on the game screen area. Now to tweak it ;)
EDIT: Got it down to 22.4 ms for the whole process of finding new rocks. Heading on about 90-95% accuracy. Iron sometimes is confused by bronze boots, and tin is sometimes confused by steel/iron armor. The tin should be an easy fix of adding in a upper threshold for number of points in a group, or I could change the way I look for groups, which might not be a bad idea…

I can't participate in this one. I need someone to teach me object-finding using TPoints…then I might have a chance :)

Well Today, I figured i better get a procedure done cause im working on a guild miner atm and thought i would just cut to the rock finding so i could be apart of the competion ;)

Holy crap!

Speed, please? Are you using a plugin?

Ok just make sure they are in by Sunday guys, I only have one entry. Im on my hotels computer just to check in so hopefully you will have those in by then.


To keep you updated, I had a 8 hour car drive, so I did some research… and when i say some, i mean ALOT. I did a whole study you could say on some things that might change the way you script(for RS onlu :D). I have put 5+ hours into it so far so hopefully i will get some more done on the way home tomorow. I have writen a tutorial and I'm perfecting it/designing it as professionally as possible. Depending on what time I get home tomorrow, I may release it, else I will just type it up monday.

If you are wondering about the length of the tutorial, It fills up an entire spiral notebook( this includes research so I doubt the actual tutorial will be that long, of course I will shorten it some because I dont wanna type that long) but thats about it. See you on Judgement day guys :D

Wait, tutorial on what?

From: Santa_Clause
Wait, tutorial on what?

you will have to wait and see :D

It better be good!

P.S - If you've ever got time to teach me about object finding with TPoints, please do.

Ill teach you as soon as I get back ;)

for all of you who missed it (because the conversation went so fast :P), heres the status:

Ok, I haven't got time to do anymore, about to leave, so I'll turn in what I have. Its a new rock finder for Varrock. It will identify iron, copper, clay, and silver flawlessly. Tin, however, is sometimes confused by iron armor, but only when its over another rock. It uses HSL, and takes *brace yourselves* 60ms :eek:

*brace yourselves*

My HSL one takes 94, and my "uberleet" one takes 47 ;)

Umm why do people make those "box" pictures?

The old rock finder, which I don't have time to tweak, took less than 10ms ;) Plus, for HSL, I do one search to find the possible rocks, then another search for each possible rock to narrow it down. A single HSL search took about 40ms. ;)

My main function does that too! ;)

You beat me with 7 milliseconds lol..

Anyone knows who all taked part + me and ben?

I Did sorta, but i dont have anytime for much….
Mine doesnt do any HSL or anything… XD, i did mannage to put part of my procedures in a plugin though

I must of misread your post, I thought you made one for old (~40ms), one for new (~90ms) and one using HSL (<500ms). I don't know where you're getting 7ms from. The 40ms was a single HSL search, but whatever :rolleyes:
I think its me, you, and sky. I sent in a Varrock all rock finder, sky's got an old coal (I assume) finder, you've got new/old/HSL finders.

Well, i think it only works for the guild…. and rocks out side of it like addy and ect…

In fact it is only you three. I will grade soon, I just released my tutorial and it took awhile to type so my hands are tired.

I was planning on entering, but time passed quickly and I had a lot of homework to do, I thought it would take less time than it did :(

The problem is… That you mis-misread, which means you read totally right.

One for old, 47 ms and you made one with 40ms, so you beat me by 7ms.

Yeah, I have 47, 93, 446. Gotta love 47 <3

I disagree, I said the 40ms one was for a SINGLE HSL search, not a rock finding procedure ;) You wern't using HSL for the old rock finder were you? The equivlent procedure I wrote for old rocks, but didn't enter, took <10ms :p My HSL based new rock finder took ~60ms compared to your 446ms one using HSL

:eek: Woah. Ive been following this topic intently and its just getting better and better. or in Bens case, faster and faster ;) lol Cant wait to see the final results and if it gets implemented in SRL.

My HSL based new rock finder took ~60ms compared to your 446ms one using HSL

BUT My 446 ms one wasnt for new rocks! PWNT!

New rockies was ~90ms, so, there isnt much space between our times.

Actually, our times dont differ by blink of an eye ;)

Is there other ppl fast as us?

Because claw said in the start O' thread that he was proud of his 300ms :D

EDIT: Feels like I've learnt a lot - or atleast advanced during this competition (making a mining script also :O )

EDIT EDIT: z0mg Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells is tah best for scripting!

I can do old rocks in ~90ms, fully in SCAR. But i'm not joining the comp :p

0mfgz0r how the hell am I ~50ms faster than niels?? Only plugin used is wizzyplugin, and MiddleTPA could be done in SCAR aswell and it wouldnt take the 50ms ther…

Yay!

BAH!!!! HSL IS MUCH SLOWER THAN RGB!!!! I'm doing a HSL search for every rock and the whole screen FASTER than you can do a RGB search for each rock and the whole screen :p
Don't you see that old rocks should be FASTER than new rocks anyway :eek:
The fact that you should have too do LESS analysis for old rocks, however for you it takes LONGER, should just show how much faster my HSL color finder is than scar's…

(You PWNT yourself XD)

@nielsie95 - I can do it in however fast Scar's FindColorsTolerance is, it just won't be very accurate ;)

Edit: Point sorting in Scar could easily take 50ms :)

Well mine finds rocks in 20 msc. but if it doesnt use findcolors its somewhere around 1-10msc ;)

Yeah, all this 'object finding' is sexy, but I believe good old optimized color finding is still the best way to go.

Similar to searching for the ore color, then checking if the rock color is around it ;)

was my tactique until I found the wonderful world of MiddleTPA ;)

WizzyPlugin is just plain awesome, you dont want to see the piece of code I had before MiddleTPA :D :D :D

Hey pwnaz0r are you editing the deadline???

Because I looked yesterday and it said 20 hours, now its over one day :O

EDIT: Noooooooooooo!

Time since Sunnuntai 7. Lokakuu 2007, 15:00:00 (Nashville time)

We dont want to know how much time its been since, I wanna know when is the deadline! Lawl!

Time SINCE the deadline, as in you overslept and missed the deadline by X hours :garfield:

Sad but true xD

I hope pwnaz0r finishes grading soon :O

I wanna know how shitty my functions were lol..

Hah, the grading will prolly not be done until tomorrow because I have break tomorrow.

Proggys looks nice, but i havent heard about it, its in srl stats, in top 5,
Is it private?

Semi-private, I let the Devs use it too. There are several other good iron miners out there I don't think it's necessary to release it to the rest of the group.

may i ask…wat exactly is wizzup?'s post pointing out?

Yea I know it was over, and no this is not ms paint. :p

does it find the x1, y1, x2, y2 params for every rock wizzup?

Not too hard, MiddleTPAEx(rockPoints, X, Y); then make a Box.x1 := X - 15, etc.. 15 is avg half of the rock.

From: SKy Scripter

Yes, the outer points of each tpointarray.
Each rock has it's own tpointarray, so you can easily use
Result := MiddleTPA(aTPA);


Or do you mean like this?

Lol, i dont think you understand.
i wouldnt agree that is very accurate.
also if he has the arraypoints of each rock it would be simple to get the width and height.

Result := MiddleTPA(aTPA);

He knows his plugin :D

Lol, why you need to count middle and height and then prolly / 2 because MiddleTPA gets the middle of a tpa.

Soo, first couple findcolorstolerances etc, combine tpas, TPAToATPA s and then middletpas :)
