I'm looking for a stable alternative to ChooseOption and derivates. any ideas?

I used ChooseOption('') all the time (and recently) and its been working 100% for me, whats going wrong with yours? Failing to identify the text? What text are you telling it to search for? Try shortening it to just two unique letters.

I will try, thank you :)

A second question : Knowing that there is no flag on screen, why is this an infinite loop?

procedure Misc_Flag(WaitMore : Boolean);
begin
  While FlagDistance >= Random(4) do
  begin
    Wait(100 + Random(50));
    Writeln('5');
  end;
  if WaitMore then Wait(700+Random(400));
end;

for reference, FlagDistance is

if (FindColor(X, Y, FlagColor, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2)) then
    Result := Distance(MMCX, MMCY, X + 1, Y + 14);

Update : Countcolor(flagcolor) return 19-20. isn't flagcolor unique? I see nothing red on minimap.

procedure Misc_Flag(WaitMore : Boolean);
begin
  While FlagDistance >= Random(4) do    //this does check for flag! 
  begin
    Wait(100 + Random(50));         //then it waits
    Writeln('5');
  end;
  if WaitMore then Wait(700+Random(400));  //and waits more if you want it to
end;

Wats wrong? I don't understand your question.
Not an infinite loop, it only loops if flagcolor is found.

SCAR is a strange machine. My problem was that it kept looping even if there was no flag, basically inventing the color. now it stopped.

Random(4) returns 0-3..
FlagDistance >= 0 would return true if it doesn't exist I think?
I don't know what it returns if there is no flag though most likely -1 so that might not be it.

when there is no flag it returns 0, although I made it so the while..do would stop if flagcolor wasn't found.

Well remember, flagdistance is

if (FindColor(X, Y, FlagColor, MMX1, MMY1, MMX2, MMY2)) then
    Result := Distance(MMCX, MMCY, X + 1, Y + 14);

So it checks for a flag before even getting the distance. So the random(4) isn't the problem.
