SRL Archive - Development

I've been using scar for a while for autoing on another game, I wont mention the name as it's irrelevant and it's only a small time game so I don't want to increase my risk of getting banned.

I'm moving over to using simba now. So there's my back story. Here's my problem:

I want to be able to find text in a game, in scar I loaded the arial font from windows files using scar's function:

fontName := LoadCharsFromFont2('Arial', 8, False, False, False, False);

in simba I see there is a function called loadsystemfont() but I can't work out how to use this. Also once I've loaded this font I assume I can use GetTextAtEx() to find specific text of arial in an area?

Thanks

LoadCharsFromFont2 is fixed in SCAR 3.25, but 3.25 is still a few days away from being fully ready for usage.

Really? Well the only reason I was going to switch to simba is because I couldn't get any of my scripts to work with scar using windows 7.

Will 3.25 work on windows 7 do you think?

I think he was asking about Simba and not SCAR. :rolleyes: (It is the Simba section, remember?)

Davidude:

program new;
var
  Font : TFont;
begin
  Font := TFont.Create;
  Font.Name := 'Courier New';
  Font.Size := 10;
  Font.Style := [];
  LoadSystemFont(Font,'test');
  DisplayDebugImgWindow(0,0);
  DisplayDebugImgWindow(150,50);
  DrawBitmapDebugImg(BitmapFromText('BMP[0] has not been freed','test'));
  Font.free;
end.

For the text finding have a look at some of SRL's text finding functions. You'll mainly just want to create a Mask from the text using MaskFromText and FindBitmapMaskTolerance.

Yes, SCAR has been ported to delphi 2010 so that it will work fully with windows 7 and vista now. There's been some setbacks porting to the new delphi but we are almost done working everything out.

I answered half his question, and you answered the other half.

Perhaps you should just filter out the word SCAR from all of the srl website.

Shame, I figured you'd be more mature than the people you attacked all the time for posting Simba alternatives on SCAR threads…

E:

program new;
var
  Font : TFont;

  pelt : TMask;

  x, y: integer;
  w, h: integer;
begin
  Font := TFont.Create;
  Font.Name := 'Arial';
  Font.Size := 8;
  Font.Style := [];
  if LoadSystemFont(Font,'test') then
    writeln('Font loaded');

  pelt := MaskFromText('mytext','test');
  GetClientDimensions(w, h);

  if FindMaskTolerance(pelt, x, y, 0, 0, w-1, h-1, 10, 10) then
  begin
    movemouse(x, y);
    writeln('Found!');
  end;

  Font.Free;
end.

That's where you are wrong, there's a key difference. Although he specifically asked for help with simba, he mentioned SCAR several times in relevance I informed him accordingly rather than telling him to 'use only SCAR'.

He never asked where SCAR was broken, he just said he was using Simba now. If people say ``I'm coming from SCAR but I am using Simba now'' I don't see it as an invitation to post about SCAR. But that's just my view, I guess.

Before you make another post here, please refer to the thread I deleted for you.

Quickly wrote an article about this on the Simba documentation.
