    Color questions.

    Hello all. I've been into SCAR scripting for awhile now, however I have not released any scripts yet. I actually do not generally use SCAR for RuneScape. I have been creating quick simple scripts to automate quick easy flash games for me. (Lame, I know.) Now I'm wanting to get into scripting for RuneScape. So...


    I've been experimenting with different SRL features for the past day or two and finally decided to turn it all into a script. While creating one of the basic procedures for the script, using RadialWalk to walk from East Falador Bank to the Air Altar, I ran several tests. After a few tests my script stopped running. It would successfully compile and execute every time but it would not run the procedure. I tried simple debugging and nothing seemed to help. After about fifteen minutes of troubleshooting and trying different things to fix it, I realised that the colors of the game completely changed. Not visibly, just enough for the code to not work properly. I figured that this was no big deal, so I redid my color codes and the script began running perfectly again. Less than ten minutes later, however, the colors changed again.

    This could be a serious issue for SCAR scripting mainly because of how much SCAR is color-based.

    So, here are my questions to all of the more-experienced out there:
    1. As of right now, using SRL and SCAR, is it possible to run a script with the Runescape Client continuously changing colors like it is.
    2. Would it be possible to create a client which will not change the colors similar to what I have described above? I briefly read about the SMART client, which simulated a new keyboard and mouse and sort-of pieced this idea together.
    3. How would I go about finding an unknown color which is in the middle of another unknown color?(IE: The roads on runescape passing through grass, dirt, or sand. The road and the ground around it on the minimap are completely different colors. How exactly would we script this as an AutoColor method? Or has this already been done?




    Thanks,

    1. Were you using tolerance? This will mean that the colors won't be affected as badly if there is a slight change from the client.

    Did you logout, and log back in into a different world? This could cause the colors to change.

    Did you try running the script the first time you logged in, or did you log in, log out and then relog back in? The first time your char logs in, you have to logout and then relog back in AND walk through a loading screen before the colors stabalise (I believe)

    2. You want to create a hacked client where the colors don't change at all? This has already been done (search SCARScape), however you need a good amount of Java knowledge and knowledge about the client to be able to create this. However, here at the SRL forums, we don't play around with Java to hack the client. If you want more info on this, try Mopar's Forums

    3. A good method to use is DTM's with tolerance. Also try looking at tutorials using RGB, HSL, XYZ color comparisons. Another good thing to search is ACA Ver 2.

    Hope that helps

    Runescape has always changed colors like that or at least for the last 4 years they have... ACA 2 is amazing i love it with all my heart! and if you hack the client to make it where it doesnt change colors there is a higher chance of bannage. But if you use functions like FindColorSpiralTolerance, or any function with tolerance you wont have to change the colors as often and if you use the ACA 2 app which is the AutoColorAssistant you can easily make AutoColor functions and that way you never have to change colors =)

    1. Ahh seems I was using tolerance for everything but RadialWalk. I'll have to correct that. Thanks


    2. Well I personally did not want to create a client. I was more wanting to supply an idea to the community and offering my assistance however, now that I realise my stupidity of not using tolerance, there is no need for such a client. That, and sirlaughsalot is correct; a hacked client would most likely be easily banned.

    3. I will do some research into that. I've only briefly worked with DTM's and it was a pain. Maybe in my research I'll find an easier method that suits me.

    Thanks for all the help!
    Unfortunately, no active scripts atm.
