Uptext?

Code:

if (isuptextMultiCustom(['orta', 'nter', 'nte', 'ortal', 'rtal', 'rta'])) then

Alot of the time it works, but sometimes it still seems to fail.

Uptext: 'Enter Portal / 2 more options'

The word portal is in blue

Fails means the mouse moves over the portal, the uptext is visible, and it just doesn't notice it is there.

Maybe only use "ter Po" for the uptext. Or maybe the surroundings of the uptext are just too white. As shut says: Try tilitng the cam down.

If he reruns the GetUpText it will return a different result. Tilt the camera in a different position so that the uptext is more visible. It should work then.

Screenshot please? :)
Also, you can try http://simba.villavu.com/bin/Tools/OCRTests/ and see if it makes you any wiser.

You guys were right, so do you guys think I should create a BMP of the uptext?

use waitOptionMulti I find it helps out a lot.

If all else fails, right click and choose option :p.

Countcol :O? lol :P Just throwin ideas in.

SCAR Code:

var
  UpTextCheck : Integer;
begin
  UpTextCheck := {The Amount of colors for that uptext}
  MMouse(X, Y, 4, 4);
  Wait(RandomRange(800, 1500));
  if CountColor({UptextColor}, {TheBoundsofTheUptext}) = UpTextCheck then
    {rightclick w/e :P}  
end;

Yup. I am very in favour of bitmaps. Take a bitmap or a slice of the blue L for instance and find it with a bitmaptolerance. I did the same with my Masterfarmer and the safecracker. Works all the time!

Thanks. Did you try the OCR Test application?

CountColor works OK in these occasions, but I may just be able to improve the Simba uptext algorithm so it will identify these too, which is by far the most favourable option. It would be nice if you could file a bug? :)

PS: It seems like using shadow for the uptext here would work quite well. Perhaps I can add a option to Simba to temporarily change to Shadow uptext rather than normal. (Include this in the bug report please?)
You can also test Shadow uptext with the OCR Test app.

this happend to me i think it's cus of the spacing i think cus it finds the text if it's just one letter or you could try all letters but just searching for them seperatly

The problem here is that the white text is not recognized properly (the background is seen as white too), as the white colour ``leaks'' through the characters. Example (with diff background) here:

http://old.villavu.com/merlijn/ocrbench.png

Above red text is the final shadow result, above the final shadow result is the final non-shadow result.
The OCR filters away a lot of the wrong colours, by using analysing some attributes of the text. Detailed explanation is in the code, https://git.villavu.com/?p=simba.git...MLCore/ocr.pas

But it is true that the 'rt' have no spacing at all. (At times, anyway)

they seem to work fine for me if i try checking for one letter at a time so thats whyy i thought it was the spacing =S

Hm. You may be right after all. I didn't see it picking up that much characters. Still, the missing 'n' is probably because it is fused with other chars.

I don't think its the spacing, cause with a simple rotate of my camera, it worked. (As shown above)

the spacing changes with the cam rotation i also noticed this when i tryed it
this would also explain it only working half the time

Ah, the OCR tools are probably a bit outdated. I'll update them when I get home. (That's when I may get time to work on this as well)
