I noticed LevelUp wasn't working at all. After some debugging I found out there's an issue with FindNPCChatText. I believe it was updated to the current NPC chat, but not for things like level up screens.
Debugged LevelUp:


{*******************************************************************************
function LevelUp : Boolean;
By: R1ch
Description: Checks if you've leveled up - click Continue and returns True.
*******************************************************************************}
function LevelUp : Boolean;
var
  X, Y : Integer;
begin
  if (not(FindColor(X, Y, 0, 7, 460, 69, 474))) then
    //Result:= FindNPCChatText('gratu', Nothing);
    Writeln(':P');
  Writeln('.');
  if (Result) then
    Writeln(':)');
  if Result then
  begin
    ClickContinue(True, True);
    WriteLn(Players[CurrentPlayer].Name + ' leveled up');
  end;
end;

:P
.
Successfully executed.

Wasn't capable of reading the text.

I really don't remember, I haven't touched the text.scar too much.

E: CharsNPC. I guess all that has to be done is change UpChars to that?

Yes, but only do it in the LevelUp function.

Simple fix. LevelUp will get its custom text finding for now.

E: Fixed.

Guys, I think the actual function itself isn't working. I've been tweaking the Freaky Forester random to make the NPC finder work. After doing that, it wasn't able to read the NPC text. It's unable to read the task given by the guy!

What text is it using? The large text or small text. Screenshot if possible plz.

I'll mention that they did change the text for majority of NPCs. Its the small text now, not the old NPC chat text it use to be.

Only used to search for the white select option text like so:

I've made the function search for both the black and white text now.

Well if finds but works strangely, everything is described there.

By the way is there function tu check upper text of NPC chat, in this case I mean "What ould ou liek to say", I tried FindTextTPA, - didn't work out

I'm not sure if we have a font for that. That's one of the methods Demise used to check if the player was in a random event. Since there wasn't a font, GetText returned a unique string (that made no sense) that can be used. But a font should be made, I'm just not sure how.

Can you please make a new thread for the bug you posted in that link?
