When finding symbols, I get errors like these.

** Warning in GetSymbolColorIn: mining site is not a valid name.**
** Warning in GetSymbolColorIn: anvil is not a valid name.**

Though if you look in Symbol.scar you can clearly see that those are valid names.

'mining spot', 'mining site':
      begin
        SymbolBitmap := BitmapFromString(15, 5, 'z78DA95D03B0EC430' +
          '0804D02B610C832931D9DCFF48894293C8DAD5464853F07905342' +
          '91A67A46FF43BA31914AE602183A9E5686799A64E3C04BA4CFA43' +
          '7E98439C770971257CB09F934B8E089F2FE43287A2F534166629A' +
          '1121D03DB5BB94C0B1D9D811E2DEF66ED94BCF6BFC97753A33BF3' +
          '7ABBCAEB9F0FD413672D');
        Result := 4219541;
      end;
'anvil':
      begin
        SymbolBitmap := BitmapFromString(15, 5, 'z78DA95CF510AC0300803D02B' +
          'A59DE0F2D9F6FE771A2CFB10CAC4FE04117C443434D8E4C2EA4A8' +
          '7DFCE8B06FB369AF38C025E139B5C7194EA106F73B9D2991C187D' +
          '3773F92F2BE6A91CBFD05CE9FC00C9DB6164');
        Result := 4012591;
      end;

Anyone have any ideas about what's going wrong?

Post how you call the function.

That happened with me aswell. I remove woodcutting.scar from it. Also another soution is to call:

LoadSymbolBitmap('symbol');

before the proc :)

Post how you call the function.

  FindSymbols(TPA, 'mining spot');
  FindSymbol(x, y, 'anvil');

What do you mean, 'remove woodcutting.scar'?

Well duh i called SetupSRL, that's how i was able to use the function in the first place. :p

Weird. The only way I could reproduce your error is by not calling setupsrl. More specifically, setupsrl>loadsrlbitmaps>any of the bitmapfromstrings.

Oh, so you have to load the bitmaps before you call them?

What do you think?

The bitmaps in LoadSRLBitmaps aren't used in symbols, yet if you comment out all the bitmapfromstrings, you get the error, and if you uncomment one of them, the error goes away. I don't understand it, but that's just how I reproduced and fixed the error.
