SRL Positioning System (OFFICIAL THREAD)

[Daniel]

SPS 2.0 has now been released. Updated first post to reflect changes.

From TODO:

-- ** Work from any compass angle
-- World walker

Is it really 2.0? Or something like 1.7/8/9..?

[Coh3n]

Doesn't really matter. On github it's just SPS, so those additions can be added whenever. The point is it's a major update that may require some changed on the script side (most likely not).

[Justin]

I found SPS 2.0 to be extremely slow.
http://srljustin.com/sps_slow/sps_slow.html

Path:

Path_ToAlter := [Point(3020, 4640), Point(3070, 4635), Point(3120, 4630),
      Point(3165, 4605), Point(3195, 4565), Point(3245, 4560), Point(3285, 4575), Point(3305, 4590)];

Walking method

SPS_WalkPath(Path_ToAlter);

SPS_Setup:

SPS_Setup(RUNESCAPE_SURFACE, ['7_11','8_11','11_7','11_6']);

Hope that helps.

Problem solved. Was loading Varrock maps (for some reason) when I didn't even use them (11_7,11_6)

[Coh3n]

Yeah. The more maps you have, the slower it's going to be. That part hasn't changed. It has, however, been made a few ms slower to greatly increase the accuracy.

[Archaic]

while it gets stuck on large obstacles occasionally, blind/wind walk is an awesome feature

Thanks for the hard work!

Not giving me a accurate location in edge Vill I've even tried taking part of the MM and pasted it over 10_6 and still nothing its putting me 200 Titles out.

2.0 going slower for me Went from 5k+ nats/hr avg to 4.6k+ nats/hr avg. Might need to switch to a different walking method to speed it back up.

Post where exactly in Edgeville and the code you're trying to use. If the player is near the edge of the area, I recommend including areas next to that edge.

Try using SPS_BlindWalk instead of SPS_WalkPath.

Thats even slower for me. >.< It waits till it gets to the flag, waits about 1 second, then clicks the next point.

downloading that new SPS thing made no difference

Sometimes getting around 200 pixels out around Duel Arena I would give more details but I don't know what to say, it is desert so I wouldn't expect it to be perfect, but the area it thinks I am in looks nothing like the area I am in, Desert Vs Swamp :S

Try including another SPS area that's beside the one(s) you're using.

Hi, SPS has been very inaccurate for me since the last update.

This is how I have SPS set:

SPS_Setup(RUNESCAPE_SURFACE, ['3_13','3_12','4_12','4_13']);
EntranceLoc := Point(1490, 5376);

This is wheres the Point:


But this is where its trying to walk:


I was using BlindWalk like this:

MyLoc:=sps_getMyPos;
if(distance(EntranceLoc.x,EntranceLoc.y,MyLoc.x,My Loc.y) > 14) then SPS_BlindWalk(EntranceLoc);

I also tried using SPS_WalkToPos but it didn't help at all - same problem. That place is mobilising armies. Any advice?

[smurg]

Is this broken or no?

I just copied down a small path using SPS_GetMyPost and then used SPS_WalkPath on it and it walking to random places and stopping really early. (In gnome stronghold)

[Home]

Same thing for me. First time using SPS :P And it looks like SPS2 is not working correctly.

You shouldn't need that many areas. 3_13 should be enough.

Everything is working just fine for me, so I'm not sure what your problems are.

Try setting calling SPS_Accuracy := 3; after you call SPS_Setup.

Wow, wow, wow... This worked for the issues I was having pertaining to SPS. Thanks Coh3n.

[Coh3n]

The lower the number, the more accurate it will be, but also the slower it will be.

I'm going to add a section on SPS variables to the first post.

Please do, these constants are very useful, I wasn't aware of this specific one to be perfectly honest with you. There may even be others that may or may not help.

Done.

SPS Global Variables:

There are a few SPS global variables that can be set to customize how SPS works. Keep in mind that these variables should be set AFTER you call SPS_Setup.

• SPS_Debug: boolean; Disabled by default. Setting to true will show SPS debugging in the Simba debug box.
  
  
• SPS_MultiMouse: boolean; Enabled by default. This variable simulates human mouse clicking when walking the path. It will click the next point multiple times (randomly, of course).
  
  
• SPS_Tolerance: extended; Set to 600 by default. The higher the number, the higher the tolerance when comparing minimap colors to SPS area colors.
  
  
• SPS_MatchesPercent: extended; Set to 0.35 by default. SPS compares small boxes of the minimap compared to small boxes on the SPS areas. A percentage of matches is returned. This variable is the minimum matches. If this percent isn't reached, SPS_GetMyPos will return (-1, -1).
  
  
• SPS_Accuracy: integer; Set to 4 by default. SPS areas and the minimap are split into boxes with side length of SPS_Accuracy. The smaller the number, the more boxes are created, and the more comparisons are made, making it more accurate. More comparisons take more time, so making this variable lower, will decrease the speed of SPS_GetMyPos; however, if you use SPS_BlinkWalk, it probably won't be noticeable.
  
  People have reported some areas not working very well for them. I recommend setting SPS_Accuracy to 3.

['Toxin]

Thank you once again, Coh3n. You're handling this project in a very organized matter

[digitalninja]

So I followed the instructions on installing SIMBA and kept getting the same issue.

Unable to find file 'sps/sps.simba' used from 'C:\Simba\Includes\MSI/MSI/Core/Setup.simba'

There is already a thread on this but essentially when you install the extensions it should load this file automatically.

When I installed SIMBA it was version 980 but there is already a version 984. I updated the versions before installing the extensions and the file I needed was not automatically installed.

I uninstalled SIMBA and upgraded all the extensions BEFORE upgrading SIMBA and the file was installed correctly.

Just in case anyone else has similar issues ...

[Coh3n]

The SPS repository has been moved to the SRL organization on github. The new source files can be found here. The links in the first post have also been updated.

@digitalninja, try downloading SPS manually (instructions are on the first post).

[Ashart1025]

So after a few hours of trying to manually update (and reading search / google results) I still cannot get SPS to update :-/.

I am trying to run Geo's Varrock Tanner.

Original error: Exception in Script: Unable to find file 'SPS/SPS2.simba' used from ''

After manual update: Exception in Script: Plugin(sps2) has not been found

Uninstall and reinstall Simba (updated enabled plugins ect, ect): Exception in Script: Unable to find file 'SPS/SPS2.simba' used from ''

Can anyone give me a shove in the right direction?

[Coh3n]

The script you're using isn't updated. At the top of the script, where it says something like

{$i sps/sps2.simba}

Change it to

{$i sps/sps.simba}

See if that helps.
