Boreas Edit: 3.21 is out http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48056



SCAR 3.20 has been released, this is the largest update in SCAR Divi history. It features a whole load of bugfixes, GUI changes, improvements, …

The codehints received an overhaul, making coding with large includes like SRL go much more smoothly.

A more important change, tolerance comparison has been improved, the default comparison is the most affected and runs at 200% efficiency with all of kaitnieks' functions. With the ones I wrote 100% myself it runs at 400% efficiency. Functions like FindColorTolerance execute 4 times as fast as before.

 - Script encryption has been removed, will be re-evaluated for SCAR 4.0

oh great work man!

Hip Hip hurrayy for freddy!!!

Now I can use different music types!!

This man goes out of the way for us. Bless him.

nice Freddy

Does anyone else get problems when dl'ing includes ? :S

But did you get a girlfriend? :P

Good job, might just stick with 3.15b for now though. :)

Although, could you elaborate on the FindTransparentBitmap?

I must say, it looks great!!! The only thing that is weird, is that some scripts work with 3.15b but not with 3.20(especially the DTM's)

(The script I'm currently using is Wizzup? Edgeville Fisher, which works on 3.15b but not on 3.20)

EDIT: Just to say, don't worry, the other scripts I tryed are working fine :)

From: Dr D. Dervish

Includes downloading didn't work for 3.15 either because kaitnieks' server is messed up, same thing happened to the news, SCAR 3.20 can download includes from my server, but I have yet to set up the scripts for it.

Gf… Don't get me started… No…
Anyway, the new FindBitmapIn function works different than the original, it's a small detail, this one is more correct, it finds the exact bitmap, kaitnieks' let it match any color for a black pixel on the bitmap you were trying to find. FindTransparentBitmap allows you to do the same, it finds a bitmap and matches any color for the pixels with the transparent color on the bitmap you're trying to find. So if you entered black as color, it'll work exactly like kait's original function.

That's odd, the DTM functions weren't changed at all…

Amazing! I will (ab)use it as much as I can! ;)

I've got a problem. Scar 20 doesnt even open for me. Error 0xc0000005

Reinstalled tons of times

Omg nice job freddy! :)

~Penguin

Woot, I needed a faster scar :p

I looked at the change log :)
What are Regex Functions? I know that Regex was the guy to make Aryan, but nothing else.
What is (procedure SetProxyDetails(Connection: Integer; IP: string; Port: Integer);) for? Would it be used for something like SMART?
And I laughed at 'Bug in debugging system' :p

Edit: I see no Scroll bar on the function list, when it excedes the length =\

Speed improvements! Good Job Freddy! (;

Great job Freddy!

i think i had the same thing as you, but then i tried running it again, and it worked fine. (at least this is the case for 3.20 RC4)

I'm getting the same error, first it had problems with BASS.dll, then it always has Error 0xc0000142 :(

Excellent Job Freddy! Havent used it yet but it looks nice :p

So if you entered black as color, it'll work exactly like kait's original function.

So, the old one already ignored any black pixels?

Or is that the new one… Sorry, didn't follow what you meant.

Awesome!! Thanks Freddy! :)

Omg <3 <3!!! TYVM!!

Google this: .net framework 2.0 - click "i feel lucky" and download :)

wow. i love you freddy :)

you have out done your self again

awesome :D

except i've encountered a problem… It seems that you can no longer script types the same way you could in 3.15b ?

ex:

{ In SCAR 3.15b }
type
  TExample = record
     MyInteger: Integer;
     MyIDK: Variant;
  end;
  TExampleArray = array [0..3] of TExample; { <-- This line fails and returns an error } 
  { Something like: Unknown type 'TExampleArray' in script }

How can this be fixed/interpreted in the script differently?

- Thank you!

Tyvm Freddy!!! :) Downloading now.

Hmm, that's another new bug in the script engine, these aren't my doing, I already fixed one which prevented me from releasing 3.20 … I'll see what I can do, but this bug seems to be more complex, might be harder to fix.

Freddy1990 sometime scar freezes in the typign area which will let you show the old piece of text that there was but the new one pasted over it is there.
Sometimes I got white shapes on my code.

I love the new 'fatal' error & continue thing I still can save it.

From: Freddy1990

SCAR doesn't use the .NET framework

Then what's the problem? I can't open it. Tried to run as admin, everything. Am I missing any .dll?

Whan I try to open it it comes up with 50 error. I'm using vist business 64 bit. Is this happening to any 1 else?

Yes :( Happened on my desktop, but works fine on my laptop using Vista Ultimate x86 (32-bit)

I'll stick with 3.15b for now. seems like there's some inability for older things (eg scripts) to work on 3.20. I'll get 3.20 when I get mad at 3.15b =).

In other words. I'll try 3.20 soon.

Edit: Just tried the 3.20. Works much better than 3.15 You made me dl it twice in 5 min as I happened to have dled first one mins before you updated it.

ppl had issues with scripts not working in 3.20 that worked in 3.15b. So far, No problems for me =). (used it for only 2 hours and counting.)

Edit2: There are problems with it with some scripts. Compiles nicely, just the colour detection is different?

I'm downloading it right now. :D

Try to redownload maybe? Shortly after the release I modified the download and reuploaded it, however, that version was highly bugged, spanwing errors like crazy, however, I fixed it shortly afterwards, but maybe you still got that bugged version?

The default script doesn't work anymore. Besides that <3

so i have SCAR Divi 3.20 RC2… is it worth downloading the final release and moving all my scripts to the new folder?

From: Mylesmadness

Default script works fine for me… Default script is now saved as Default.scar, but it should still load newscript.txt …

Yes, RC2 is quite unstable…

Thank you very much :)

Yes I probably was one of the first to download it. Works perfectly now.

Great work! :D

So will the scripts made with 3.15b be compatible?

different SCAR's doesn't change it usually.. it's SRL that makes scripts not work :)

you'll have to edit a small amount of things.. but it should be obvious :)

From: Punkgi
So will the scripts made with 3.15b be compatible?

There are a few things that SCAR 3.20 can do that 3.15b can't, but not many. So I'd say most of the scripts will be backwards compatible, but some won't.

I think we should all start scripting all our upcoming scripts with 3.20b (hopefully people are already doing this), so that Freddy doesn't have to put up with too much strain trying to make 3.20 backwards compatible. Really 3.20b seems to be working really good! And has very nice new features :P He has also managed to fix the bug with type/records as I've noticed.

SCAR 3.20 is s3x3d up :)

Freddy1990 = :norris:

Edit: I know this may seem like a pretty big bump, but we need to support and promote SCAR 3.20 for all the effort Freddy has put into it.

Agreed, rewrite the SRL library!

j/k :p

Agree the agreement! :D

For anyone who got the 0xc0000005 error, I just used SCAR Portable instead and that solved my problems. I don't know if there is much of a difference between portable and regular but as long as it works I'd say it's good. :D

For 0xc problems, download SCAR portable edition, copy the dlls inside the folder, paste them in C:\windows\system32.
