[IDEA] DLL Edit Weather

[Kittymew]

Hey - I've ALMOST got the metallurgy bot working perfectly, but even with MAMP's enhanced illumination, the combination of rain and darkness wrecks the image recognition. Does anyone know of a DLL hack to edit out the rain? The sooner I get it the sooner I release something, and I really don't feel terribly ambitious to write it myself.

If I'm not mistaken, under some xml, there is the effect for rain. Doing it dll wise is impossible. If you're thinking of changing the entire weather, that isn't possible either.

did you download lostmage's data folder? it's in there

Editing out the rain will help a bit, but I suggest processing your image further.

I think getting the best image is the most important part of a metallurgy bot.

Hint: don't use mabi's screenshot feature because it saves to jpg format. Find a capturing program that allows output to bmp.

In data\gfx\fx\effect I think. There are the rain, snow, sandstorm .xmls. Just copy those into your data folder or use mine.

Those files are found on mabimods, too.

If you use mabi's screenshoting, make sure you have the mods set to 100% screenshot quality. Then you don't get raped by compression.

DLL is definitely possible, but if it can be tweaked via xml there's no point. Thanks.

your right, if i can be done via xml, then theres really no point of trying dll.
buh if it cant be done, you might have to resort to dll editing ;<

which is a headache ( to me )
