AHK Image Recognition

[Kittymew]

Hey guys, I've got most of my metallurgy bot done, but Qilla beach is just too spammy with hard black and hard whites to get it to work without a lot of false positives. If you've played with metallurgy much you know that making the sites ctrl-clickable breaks the game, so that's out. I've been playing around with the illumination mod in MAMP but I can't get ANYTHING in AHK's imagelib to work while that's on regardless of when I take the screenshot and what filter I put on.

What gives, and what have you guys done on your bots?

With the bot I'm working on I have it detect the image and then click +10 X axis (directly below) to avoid ctrl-clicking the actual spot.

[Kittymew]

Yeah, I've done that. The problem isn't that, the problem is the fact that there's so many places the black mask will register that ISN'T the image, like the bottom of the ship or the rocks. Messing around with *N hasn't helped that much.

What about making a gif with only the text? there's a function in ahk that allows you to ignore the clear space if you make the gif and remove the off-color. this is the line i have (but i'm still working on the sensitivity)

ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, *50 *TransWhite Images\ironspot.gif

Yeah, again, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm using a white mask exactly like you're using. I had it working decently well for a while but not perfectly, I think it comes down to Mabinogi's fonts being really flaky because they're like 80% opaque.

Can anyone pull off a DLL edit for opaque fonts?

I use falls site, and I still have absolutely no problem w/ AHK's imagesearch. The code quoted above by thekeytothedoor is almost exactly what I use.

Thanks for the help then...

If you're getting false positives, the easiest way would be to tweak the picture you're using. Longer name -> Less positives. Are you just searching for "Iron" or "Gold"? Try searching for "Metallurgy Site", or "Iron/Gold Metallurgy Site". The downside of longer names is longer searchtime/more processor load.

Alternatively, tweak how you trim the image itself. Maybe it was that little black outline around the letters that was left (for me) that prevented false positives.

Why? Isn't AHK detected on NA?

Mabinogi ZM is coming out soon...

[adam_j]

It's probably easier to garner interest in what you're doing if you provide more detail than a name.

For instance, I'm working on Project E. OMGZDONTUALLWANTTOKNOWNOW?!!?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Nexon staff informed me that Mabinogi Zimbabwe was going to be released soon.

[adam_j]

If you really didn't want to post what your project is, why did you post at all?

Mabi for Zimbabwe would be lulz though.
NOT CONTENT WITH ONE DICTATORSHIP, NEXON SETS UP ANOTHER: THEMSELVES.

Cichol is replaced with Mugabe.
All the characters are black, other than Manus and Bebhin.
Elves get a more tribal look, and mud huts.

**** yeah, I'd proxy for that.
