SRL Archive - Suggestions

Could an algorithm be made to recognize textures on the mainscreen? It could calculate stuff like the brightness/color shift from pixel to pixel, using statistics to choose what looks like a particular texture and what doesn't.

Any examples of what you'd want to use this for?

Also, Pascal may not be fast enough for this. You could always try. :)

I believe Wizzup made something like this into a plugin once.

Any idea how to use it if it's already in the program?

I don't think they're inclded in Simba/SCAR, not as I can remember anyway. (Maybe he used them to solve some random, haven't checked up on that.) I was just suggesting you'd PM him.

And, I too am anyway wondering what you'd need such functions for?

Isn't colour entropy to find textures just:

FindColorsTolerance(firstcolor)
 if Length(firstcolor) > x then
   FindColorsTolerance(secondcolor, in a box around highest conc. of first color)
     if Length(secondcolor) > x then
...

GetPixel and comparing functions could be used from there to find the differences

More reliable path/item finding, think of it as a possible CTS 3 :)

What the hell?

What I thought he was doing was way different. I thought he meant for like.. high definition water. :p

I've worked ideas and so far I'm not the best person for this kind of job, with my limited knowledge of any programming language outside of SRL and Pascal.
