    Default Help with finding text

    I'm trying to find text in the game I'm playing(Eternal Lands) and I'm not getting any satisfaction

    I have created bitmaps of the alphbet with the correct key code numbers and I'm using LoadChars2 to load the fonts.

    Trying to find the text with FindText and CreateBitmapMaskFromText and FindBitmapMaskTolerance is not giving me any joy.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    try FindTextTPA or FindTextTPAEx ? also do the bitmaps you made have a black background behind the letters ?

    Thanx HyperSecret, I'll give those to a bash and see.

    As for the bitmaps, they do have a black background. I made 2 versions, 1 set is 24bit and the 2nd is mono, but still the text do not get picked up via those procedures I listed.
