RSC Chars

[Thick As Blood]

They can be found in SCAR 1.13, but how can they be included in things like GetTextAtEx and ect? Or am I just missing something?

They can be found in SCAR 1.13, but how can they be included in things like GetTextAtEx and ect? Or am I just missing something?I tried that and failed hard.
Here is what I did...


program New;
var
x, y, Charsrsc, mask: Integer;
S: String;
begin
Charsrsc := LoadChars2(AppPath + 'Fonts\Charsrsc\');
{mask := CreateBitmapMaskFromText('p', Charsrsc);
if FindBitmapMaskTolerance(mask, x, y, 370, 3, 600, 30, 30, 30) then WriteLn(IntToStr(x)+', '+IntToStr(y));}
WriteLn(IntToStr(CharsRSC));
S := GetTextAtEx(379, 5, 0, Charsrsc ,false, true, 0 ,1, -1, 100, false, tr_AllChars)
writeln(S);
end.

It says this in the scar manual:
(If you are planning on creating your own character set, make sure bitmap images are named according to their ASCII codes.)
So I did it, but it still wont work :( (They are not according their ASCII codes in scar 1.13)

I have tried countless many times to work with LoadChars() and LoadChars2() but I have never ever managed to get it to work.. In the end I made my own FindText.. >.<

Guys i fould out that they have actually changed some letters. Most if not all changes are just 1 pixel. I think that after fixing them we can use gettextat ;)

Edit: They have only changed m and X. Attached fixed m and X ;)

Hmm, I've uploaded these to the SCAR Pre-release SVN so the fonts updater will add them

This works best for me(you change the coords ofcourse+load chars) :
GetTextAtEx(382, 2, 0, Charsrsc, false, false, 0, 1, -1, 100, true, tr_NormalChars);
It reads l as I becouse they look exatly the same.

I'm really sorry to necro this, but its all there is..

When I use this i get

Error: Unknown declaration "tr_NormalChars" at line 10

Does anyone know how I can use Charsrsc with Simba? And what other parameters should I use for Reading text from RSC?

You already have your own thread.. Just post there instead.

You need the correct font in Simba's fonts folder. Then use whatever text reading function you want. http://docs.villavu.com/simba/scriptref/ocr.html
