How do I find certain text...

[solarwind]

Hi all, as some of you know, I'm working on a tutorial island runner (that will actually work!) During the tutorial, there is a lot of NPC chat going on in the chat box, most of which contains unique words to identify where you are in the tutorial.

Here is a picture:
http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/2116/tutorial1pj1.th.jpg (http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tutorial1pj1.jpg)

What would be the appropriate function to use to find that text in the bottom text box?

Someone please post a small example of how to find a word (using the font shown in the picture) in the picture.


Also, how would I find and click on a certain item in my inventory?
For example, lets say I had logs and a tinderbox somewhere in my inventory.
What would be the appropriate function to find those logs?

Can someone please create a small example that finds and clicks logs and finds and clicks a tinderbox to make a fire?

I would use dtm's for the item finding in your inventory. Just do your wood cutting loop for example until(find the log dtm in your inventory). I know you have the problem with your dtm window sizing, so if you choose to go with them, i could make dtms, and send them to you.

If FindDTM(x,yLogs,MIX1,MIY1,MIX2,MIy2) then
Mouse(x,y,5,5,true)[/SCAR]

to find where you are in the tut hmm
id use smer long and thin bitmaps to read text
but in madcows he make it a const

const
Location= 1;

1 for begeing
2 for suvival guide
3 for cook
and so on
finding location by NPC talking would be weird and inefficient

and i don't think you are ready to create a tut runner already but i LOVE the enthusiasm cant wait to see your final product!

Actually, I'm not so noob, the tut runner is going quite nicely. And I've found the function:

function FindNpcChatText(txt: String): Boolean;
By: Kernel Klink or Stupid3000, font by Masquerader
Description:
Get last chat message.

That's an tpwnage function. I'm adding specific location within the tutorial with those. It's not too hard, straightforward, but long. So far going nicely. I'd really appreciate if people could create DTMs for all of the inventory items used in the tutorial. So far, the script is pretty efficient and fast. And since there are no [known] randoms on tut island, I don't need to bother with randoms. Also, anti ban is not too much of a problem, because if you get banned, hey just make another, but still, getting flagged is a risk, so I'll implement anti ban later, once the script is stable. I'll post an alpha asap (maybe not a complete one), but something that can get to a certain point without messing up.

Again, I'd really appreciate if people can make DTMs for all the items in the inventory. I'd even pay in RS gp if someone made good working DTMs of all of the inventory items in the tutorial. Just post how much gp you want and make them =).

My DTM editor is messed up (probably because of windoze).

used the black outline so it should work all the time

Edit: Don't forget to use more failsafes and self progress checking than usual. If a power chopper/miner/etc gets screwed up it can just reset the cycle, however a tut runner has to go back a step if it misses one.

Thanks. How would I add more failsafes?

[Boreas]

Make functinons that know if you did something correctly, or if something has finished yet. Check what I said about loops in your alpha release thread.

Here are the dtm's for every item used in tut island. ( used with parent and black outline)
All the states of shrimp are the same, so i just made one with max parent tolerance.

Test them out, if some don't work, let me know and ill remake it. Enjoy.

EDIT: WOOT! This was my 100th post! :D

[YoHoJo]

for fialsafes just maek procedure to make sure you did the last task: eg
look for a certin gametab. if its not there then you gota talk to someone again.
things like that =)

and iron. did you put max tol on all of those objects?
you should use max tol for all object except the runes.

[IronTeapot]

Yes yoho, all have a max tolerance except for the 2 runes, and the ores (to tell if its copper or tin). Here is a dtm that will work with any ore (max tol).
