Help an old timer get going again

[NCDS]

The goal here is to run an RS3 script, simply to make sure I have everything setup properly and working.

The script in question is The Mayor's dungeon miner. Everything compiles and SMART loads, then I get:

---- FATAL ERROR: sps.setup(): Unable to load map or bitmap to map failed
Successfully executed.
The following bitmaps were not freed: [5]

Everything is up to date, the file paths used in script are correct, etc.


A lot has changed in the time I've been gone; any help would be appreciated.

You're not the only one getting that error man, it's stopping me from running any SPS script :/

Oh I see. I was under the impression this was an isolated incident.

Thanks for the input.

Does it log you in before the error?

I'm just running to the mine to see if i get the error.

E: too late, sorry.

Well I went into the mine, started the script and it was happy running around for the ores?

Maybe you two could see what your systems have in common and find the issue?

Interesting. I'm running Win7 Ultimate atm, never had any issues with this OS before.

Well I'm running w8.1 pro. I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference though :/.

Have you tried reinstalling simba?

Yes, I re-installed everything before asking.

I'll figure it out eventually; off to work now though.

annyway. as i said in irc, <Turpinator> maybe you are the other 1/999999999999999999 people that have an issue with the sps dll.
(the first being Sin)

So for him we just override all the functions in sps.dll with functions in sps-rs3.simba. yes, it is ?slower? not being an external library, but meh.

So all these functions...
https://github.com/SRL/SPS/blob/mast...source/sps.lpr
were put into sps-rs3.simba as overrides.

ie.

procedure SPS_BitmapToMap(bmp: TMufasaBitmap; SideLength: integer; var res: T3DIntegerArray); callconv

changes to

procedure SPS_BitmapToMap(bmp: TMufasaBitmap; SideLength: integer; var res: T3DIntegerArray); override;

and a few lines to be changed, such as

  HighX := Trunc(bmp.Width / (SideLength * 1.0));
  HighY := Trunc(bmp.Height / (SideLength * 1.0));

to

  HighX := Trunc(bmp.getWidth / (SideLength * 1.0));
  HighY := Trunc(bmp.getHeight / (SideLength * 1.0));

And from there, checked if it worked, then slowly removed functions until it didnt, so that we could find the offending one. i swear it was SPS_BitmapToMap(), but meh.

[NCDS]

Well, that would make sense (I guess) given the error thrown. However, I already tried replacing sps-rs3.simba with the overrides you sent me, to no a avail unfortunately.

I'll see if I can figure it out tonight when I get home and update with any progress made.

Tried to run a script the other day and got the same error I guess that makes me the second/third guy

I've also received this error many times on certain Simba installations. Reinstalling did nothing, and writeln debugging didn't give me any answers. Set up a VM with a fresh installation and everything worked fine. I still don't know what the difference was between the VM setup and my main setup! Would be cool to finally figure this out.

Next up on the list of things I can' explain..

Error: The given DTM Index[0] doesn't exist at line 730

is thrown when executing this:

function drop(): boolean;
var
  t: integer;
  pts: tpointarray;
begin
  if not isLoggedIn then
    exit(false);

  if not tabBackpack.open() then
  begin
    print('Failed to open tab.Backpack.');
    exit(false);
  end;

  if tabBackpack.isEmpty() then
    exit(true);

  t := getSystemTime + 15000;
  while tabBackpack.countDTM(oreDTM) > 0 do
  begin
    if t < getSystemTime then
    begin
      print('Timed out while dropping Ore.');
      exit(false);
    end;
    sendKeys(toStr(quickKey), 100+random(500), 100+random(500));
    wait(randomRange(3000, 8000));
  end;
  result := tabBackpack.countDTM(oreDTM) < 1;
end;

line 730 is the resulting line of the following function in wrappers.simba

function findDTM(dtm: integer; var x, y: integer; searchBox: TBox): boolean; overload;
begin
  result := findDTM(dtm, x, y, searchBox.x1, searchBox.y1, searchBox.x2, searchBox.y2);
end;

I've searched the forum and found that other people with a similar error had a "bad" DTM. I've remade this 3 ties now with the same outcome.

I can run other scripts which use the same DTM function with no problem.

Any ideas?

@NCDS; did you declare the DTM and then free it and try to call it again?

Not entirely sure what I changed, but it seems to be working now. Hopefully we're past all the foolish questions now.

Thanks!
