Here is my video, with voice, tutorial on creating and finding bitmap masks.

Make fun of my voice as you will, yes I am 14 and my voice has not changed… But I'd rather be watching a tutorial with a high voice, than one that is confusing.

Pretty explanatory tutorial… Link is below :)

Awesome tutorial, it helped me a lot. It isn't too fast and i understood you well, unlike other video tutorials.

it was good but cant u also use masks with things other then text i would have liked to have that added to the vid

@del_signo: They all work the same…if you can bitmap mask text, you can mask an item


:D Abyssal, you sound very professional. Kinda like all the iPod-Video-Tutorial people


EDIT:

@del_signo: Oops, I didn't see the video yet. I thought he took a screenshot of the text then searched for it. My bad…

Hmm good but a tut on useing photoshop for items etc would have been better :(

Abyssal

2007-05-25 08:06:59

Actually ronny that's not really true. Photoshop creates masks, but WAY WAY WAY slower, this is instantly. Whats wrong with this anyway

Hey thanks for the tut it was easy to follow. I just had a question, when you are writing your code, for example, Writeln, when you wrote 'Writ' those boxes pop up with how the code is written. To get those, did you turn code hints on because that did not work for me.

I copied what you wrote out and i tried it but it just says successfully compiled but it doesnt wield the shield!

program UsingBitmapMasks;

var
OurMask, x, y: Integer;

begin
Wait(2000);
OurMask:= CreateBitmapMaskFromText('wield', Upchars);
if (FindBitmapMaskTolerance(Ourmask, x, y,MIX1, MIY1, MIX2, MIY2, 2, 2)) then
Writeln('Found the bitmap!');
end.

Im using scar divi 3.6

This tutorial is how to find the shield, not wield it. If you wanted to wield it as well, you could do this instead of Writeln:

Mouse(x, y, 3, 3, true);

Because you can see from the FindBitmapMaskTolerance command that its position gets stored into x and y. But you still need to right click it for this to work. If you want it to find the shield first, right click it then find the text you've just created a mask of, then you will need to have a function to do that first. :)

BTW, nice tut.

Sufficient. . .funny word. . .On topic, pretty good tut. I'll be using it. Might I be able to use this on something like a chicken though? Since they are turning and rotating constantly?

Abyssal

2007-06-28 10:59:58

Link still works for me…

Technically you could use it for a chicken finder, once you right click it, search for the mask and click it.

yes pretty close XD


anywho

everything was great but you pronounced chars wrong XD XD XD

chars - cares?

put char in a microsoft speech program XD.





Im just giving you a hard time lol good job.

Smartzkid

2007-06-28 12:16:24

but char is just an abbreviation of character

you wouldn't say character, you'd say karacter

so char, technically, would be pronounced care, not char

I'm going to watch this later. I want to start scripting as soon as possible:D

& Why would some1 make fun of your voice when it's YOU who is helping them out??:confused: :p



Edit: I can't hear you talking. Can you add subtitles? I have speakers built into monitor & they suck tbh, so I could only hear u if I put my ear next to 1, but then I couldnt watch the vid… >_<

great Tut!…Iv just turned 13 (and yes i did play rs underage)…and my voice is higher, so dont feel bad


Very well made, your voice is very easy to understand ;)

I have one question though…why dont you just use a normal bitmap? What makes masks special?
