    Default Bitmap Vs DTM Question

    I am pretty new to scar and SRL and have been reading many tutorials and going through examples before i make a script and i have good knowledge on how to use DTM's and little on how to use Bitmaps but any advice on where to use bitmaps where you wouldnt use DTM's? are they worth learning or can they replaced everywhere where a dtm can?

    DTMs are useful for walking and especially finding items in the inventory. Every item in the inventory has a black line surrounding it that is always the same all the way around the item.

    Bitmaps are useful for finding objects on the main screen or minimap, but just make sure they aren't too large or you'll lag SCAR by loading them.

    I use DTM's everywhere, and bitmaps nowhere :P But that's only because I'm a freak when it comes to DTM's.

    Every scripter develops his/her personal favourites and styles of scripting. So it's really up to what you like the best.

    bmps are usually used to find things on the MS while DTMs are used for finding static objects such as items in your inventory.

    however, with the new updates, i think they can be used interchangeably.

    DTMs are better for for items as they are smaller/faster than bitmaps
    Bitmaps are ok for items if you make them really small, they are good for main screen too sometimes.
    Just try looking at some tutorials about Bitmap/DTMs and see what the creator suggest them for.
    IMO DTMs are best for items and sometimes minimap.
    Bitmaps for anything else.
