sorry...i mean a bar (like a bar after you smelt the ores) mask so that i can count the bars in the inventory. so its like an ore mask but a bar mask instead. i would make one but i dont know how to make a mask. any help is appreciated.(is that better?)

How can you count your value of bars with bitmap?
Where would you use bar mask? To count your bars? There's better ways to count them. :)

If it doesn't matter what kind of bar, then just make a dtm of the black (65536) outline, and use countdtm (in inventory.scar) its awesome.

first i will use this to count(its in inventory)
{************************************************* ******************************
function CountItemBmpMaskTol(bmp, tol, ctol: Integer) : Integer;
By: Stupid3ooo
Description: Performs a count of inventory items by bmpmasks with tol tolerance,
and Ctol ContourTolerance.

ok whats a better way to count them? also its not just one type of bar so i cant use colors.

also ive tried to make DTM's but i cant get them to work. ive used tutorials but still no luck.

Get a bright (the most different from black outline) colored bar (gold), put in inventory, drag crosshairs of scar, open dtm editor, and click the black points around the edge. Then you can use countdtm.

ok...i have the dtm now how would i put the amount of bars made into the progress report?

[Boreas]

Ooo ok. Well countdtm is better for when you're smelting and you want to wait until the bars are all done, so you can do
repeat
wait
until coundtm(dtmbar)=number
where number is 9 for steel, 5 for mith etc

For progress report you should just do loads:=loads+1 and then in the proggy do number*loads where number is 9 for steel, 5 for mith etc. You don't really need dtm/bitmaps for that.

[XcanadamanX]

ok thanks...i was just going to try to make my proggy really accurate.

[Boreas]

Well unlike cooking, when you get out 18 coal and 9 iron, you will definitely get 9 steel bars. The only thing that will make it slightly in accurate, is if a player runs out of ores, and cant do a complete load.
