SRL Archive - Bugs

I don't know if its done on purpose but simba(and scar) return the wrong integer color values. Eg: I pick a color from the rs screen and the pixel has rgb values of (123, 122, 121). The integer color value of this pixel should be 8092281(hex value of 7B7A79), but simba(and scar) return 7961211(rgb value of 121, 122, 123. Which means the red and blue values are swapped).

Simba Code:

program new;

begin
  writeln(GetColor(1109, 164));
  writeln(RGBToColor(145, 146, 217));
end.

Seems to be right to me :S Are you sure your pixel isn't changing ever so slightly because after all it is runescape/jagex..

Has it occurred to you that site may be wrong? :)

E: What ggzz said.

Looks like the hex is wrong at that site.

EDIT: Not wrong, but a hex triplet. So for each colour it has two characters. clRed (255) should be $FF, but it says $FF0000 (which actually is blue). I guess you could say red and blue are switched, as with the normal hex notation the least significant part is at the right. That means red is right and blue is left, but with the CSS notation it's hexR hexG hexB glued together.

ah ok. but for future reference whats the way to convert rgb to color? r x 256^3 + g x 256^2+ b? or swap r and b?

Yes, swap r and b: R + (G shl 8) + (B shl 16). Shl (shift left) multiplies by 2^n (in this case 256 and 256*256).

Or use RGBToColor conversion methods in Simba.. :p
