SRL Archive - OSR Help

I have all the RSCFonts that I wanted just to mess around in RSC.

What I've done is, first I renamed them based on Shuttleu's tutorial, so they have the right BMP number. Next I put them in Simba's /Fonts/RSCChars, and then I tested them. I can make TPA's out of the with the OCR TPAFromText function, and I can make a bitmap with BitmapMaskFromText or w/e it's called, but I don't know what to do next. Also I have no idea what a TMask is.


What must I do to be able to find the uptext properly? What would you do?


EDIT: I tried finding them on screen but it doesnt work :/ Yes I know I'm generic, lets see if you need more input from me or can help me from here

you need to find the position that the text starts from
then you can use
function GetTextAt(const atX, atY, minvspacing, maxvspacing, hspacing, color, tol, len: integer; const font: string): string;

constX and constY are the position the text start at
minvspacing and maxvspacing are the spacing in between the characters (this will usually be set to 0)
hspacing (highlight spacing?) i have no idea about
color is the color of the text
tol is the tolerance (as im sure you could have guessed :p)
font is the name of the folder in the font folder

So far I made all those variables for everything (x, y, everything above new to me…etc), and was only able to find 'cl' from 'climb-ladder'
I wonder how Simba gets RS2 text? :p

if thats all you could find, then try messing with the spacing

Tried using for/loop with each variable, like
for
– for
—- for
—— for

Most I could find is 'cl' :(

Try creating a bitmap with your font and save it to some place. See how well the spacing looks. If the spacing looks good, then the OCR probably works well too.

how about you send me your font and where this is for and i can give it a go

Thats a good idea, didn't think of that :)

I must be coding it wrong

PMing you right now


EDIT2: YAY GOT IT WORKING

    S := CreateBitmapMaskFromText('please.', RSCChars);
    writeln(FindBitmapMaskTolerance(S, x, y, 0, 0, 720, 515, 10, 10));
    FreeBitmap(S); 

Apparently those two tolerance #'s at the end did the trick
