The state of SRL

[Markus]

Hey guys,

So with reflection scripts being dead, we need colour scripts. Luckily for us, we got *lots* of them from the old days, and many can be updated/improved with new technologies like SPS and the relative colour finding.
A few months ago, I tried updating Wizzup's Multiminer which is a great script in itself. But I got extremely frustrated at times: every time I tried using a few functions from the library, be it autocolor or something as trivial as OCR, there was at least one thing broken. After trying to fix the varrock road colour I grew so frustrated I ragequit, leaving a semi-compiling but non-functional Multiminer, which is sad because it is a great, speedy script (I wasn't too impressed by MSI's speed of object finding, it was extremely accurate but just a bit too slow to be functional at my old laptop. Otherwise MSI is a great job, just not functional to my needs).
Because I'm sure I'm not alone in this case, and because the include needs a refresh anyways, I'd like to survey what's working and what's not, so the devs and all others can start developing effectively on the broken parts, as giving a kind of direction to SRL development which it is currently half-lacking.
In order to make it easy for you, because SRL is mostly lazy when it comes to these things (and I am, too), I made this nice list of functionalities based on different parts of the include.
TL;DR, or, Your Task:
Post if a certain item of the list below functions for you fully, not at all, or there are some errors.
I hope that with this large community of scripters we can fill this list in in notime.

Note to other mods and the SRL Public SVN mods: you are free to edit this list as you see fit!

Broken
This feature was scrapped from SRL. Markus you are too lazy to look at the include
Orange items: please add next to it what exactly is missing, or where it seems to be failing at times.
On the choice of functions: I didn't add the entire include, obviously, but the most important functions to scripters. Not too many people are going to look for the colour of a certain cactus, but ladder colours are useful.

Thanks a lot!
Markus

Thanks for reading this list! Please only post things you confirmed working in the past 2 weeks (MSI users are especially invited to post on the antirandoms because they seem to experience most randoms, and MSI/other script devs might know a lot about the rest). Just a few things per post is fine, we can always fill in the gaps later
/skills/ is ignored for now, it's not used too often.

Therpes an srl thread. For the rabdoums were ppl give their inpuit

[Markus]

ok but this list is way larger than only randoms and im too lazy to search.

[noidea]

I have been trying autocolor() for the last couple days. I have tested srl_watercolor, srl_treecolor, srl_laddercolor, srl_rockcolor, srl_lightdirtroadcolor (tested in lumbridge forest and north of falador), srl_lumbridgeroadcolor, srl_varrockroadcolor, srl_faladorroadcolor. None of them worked. I would like to point out FindTreeColor still works, after 2 years

There is also no generic road color listed in the autocolor.scar file. There used to be.. I guess they scrapped it during the autocolor remake.
There seems to be a lot of the generic road color when looking at the rs map. I dont see why there isnt an autocolor for it...

I still dont understand how it was better to rewrite the autocolor file than leave it as it was - perfectly fine at the time. I also dont understand how autocolor() prints it successfully finds the color, returns a color, then it is no where to be found on the minimap.

There are also many missing autocolors from what there used to be, like fishing/water dock colors.

srl_lightdirtroadcolor returned a colour that was on the minimap, but it was wrong - here is a picture of it with debugtpa(). http://i.imgur.com/3p3Wo.png

That could be due to Jagex updating the colors all around Runescape with the last update.

Ok, autocolor needs a severe rewrite then. Marked it all broken.
Do you know how MSI manages its colours or does it only use SPS (which isn't depending on them)? Might be a good base to start off.

@kingarabian: doubt it, it was broken a few months ago, too.

BTW SPS works fine Markus, but verrry frequently you will run into an Access violation error. You may have to restart Simba countless times to get that script to run.

The drill random does everything fine except until the end. It does all the requirements the seargent tells you to do, and when your free to go the script says "random failed etc" and logs out.

[NCDS]

<3 you for creating this list. Was just thinking something like this would be nice earlier. The "SRL devs need accounts in randoms" thread is pretty up to date though as I try to generally keep tabs on those solvers.

[Zyt3x]

All of those functions in amount.scar are working properly.

For anyone that would like to test:

procedure TestAmount;
var
  x, y : Integer;
  DTM : Integer;
begin
  DTM := DTMFromString('mggAAAHicY2NgYHBkYmAwA2I7IPYEYlcgtgfiZ0C5F0D8DogfA/'+
                       'F9IL4HxFNig4EkExaMHTDiwBAAAAoECEU='); // Raw Salmon
  WriteLn(' - Inventory count:');
  WriteLn(InvCount);
  WriteLn(' - Finding coins (inv):');
  WriteLn(ToStr(FindCoins(X, Y, 'inv')) + ': ' + ToStr([x, y]));
  WriteLn(' - Finding coins (bank):');
  WriteLn(ToStr(FindCoins(X, Y, 'bank')) + ': ' + ToStr([x, y]));
  WriteLn(' - Counting item (inv):');
  WriteLn(CountItemsIn('inv', 'dtm', DTM, []));
  WriteLn(' - Counting item (bank):');
  WriteLn(CountItemsIn('bank', 'dtm', DTM, []));
  WriteLn(' - Counting stack amount (bank):');
  WriteLn(ItemAmount('bank', 'dtm', DTM, []));
  WriteLn(' - Counting stack amount (inv):');
  WriteLn(ItemAmount('inv', 'dtm', DTM, []));
  FreeDTM(DTM);
  DTM := DTMFromString('mWAAAAHicY2FgYHBkYmAwZoLQAUD8BCj2GIg/AvFDIG4K8gSSTE'+
                       'gYFTCiYRAAAGx3BdI='); // Noted Salmon
  WriteLn(' - Counting stack amount (inv) (noted):');
  WriteLn(ItemAmount('inv', 'dtm', DTM, []));
  FreeDTM(DTM);
end;

I was using GetMiniMapDots yesterday and it didnt always work correctly when trying to find 2 bankers standing next to each other. It would often return there only being 1 npc. I didnt try any of the other dots.

Edit: Im standing in the second closest fishing spot to the draynor bank. I assume its findnormalrandoms, the music tab is being checked a lot. A detectable amount...

I believe that was the only way to check for randoms or at least one of the only ways for certain randoms

[DeSnob]

I'm gonna test the flag section right now. Will post results.

E: Loginplayer, FlagPresent, FFlag, Flag, FlagDistance, FindSymbol all work.

Yes its part of what helps decide if youre in a random, but it cant be the only way. Its needs to be checked only when confirming youre in a random. Mad sketch if youre always checking the music tab.

Edit: Mordaut - just logged out. Didnt attempt to solve. Wizzup says its impossible, is it?
Bee keeper works.

[Markus]

Thanks guys, keep it going!
Updated the list up to this post.

Oh and NO random is impossible. There used to be times that all randoms were solved with colour, including mordaut by iroki.

[Zyt3x]

I can confirm Beekeeper is working flawlessly

[DeSnob]

I'll test the rest of the login functions. Be right back!

E: Here's the debug from the script:

[LoginPlayerToLobby] works.
[LoginPlayer] works
[ExitToLobby] works
[LeaveLobby] works.
NextPlayer(False)
SwitchToPlayer(PlayerNo: 1, Active: False);
Welcome to Runescape.
Email@Email.com
[LogOut] works.

Works fine. Also, RSReady works, since it works in the other functions.

[NCDS]

Edit: Mordaut - just logged out. Didnt attempt to solve.

That's a feature I just recently added in. Before it wouldn't even know it was in the random and wait for the script to set the player false..

[DeSnob]

Now I'll check Mapwalk, love radialwalk so it shouldn't be too hard.

E: Is this considered a double post? :S

E2: SetAngle, MakeCompass, MouseMM, RunAway, and Radialwalk all work. However, when RunAway is returning it slows down SMART quite a bit. (I haz bad computah)

ok, it also looks like you've done the same for Mime?
***** STR: FOUND RANDOM: 'Mime' *****
Screenshot of: Found Mime random 0 Seconds
Mime solver currently broken.
***** STR: 'Mime' RANDOM SOLVING FAILED! *****

Yes sir. That's what I'm doing with all 'unsolved' randoms until I can get a solver working.

[noidea]

Abyss Random. I guess it could be green but it could not find a unique appendage and reverted to guessing. It did eventually get out though!

[Phran6]

maybe add something that reload smart when there an update, because we can't relog in.

[Nava2]

Updated, keep it up

[kingarabian]

Drill Demon
Happened to me again:
Upon successfully doing everything right and a 'click to continue' click away from solving the random, it says Drill Demon random failed and makes my player false.

[Flight]

"GetChatBoxText" and "GetBlackChatMessage" aren't accurate... From lighting a fire this is what SRL read:

From "The fire catches and the logs begin to burn.", to... "l?e fire catc?es an? t?e logs tegin to turn"

I thought it was kinda funny, but just pointing that out.
