I feel so alone with Pixelsearch.. Can you help me ?

SimpleWorker · June 29, 2008

Bonjour je suis français , Hi there i'm french and i need so help please.

I have a 1280 x 800 screen and i try to locate(localize) the coordinates of a rectangle to use them with PixelSearch.

I use for it XnView with whom(which) I drew a rectangle to determine the zone to look for with Pixelsearch.

But I do not arrive, to interpret the information which gives me Autoit Window Info...

Here are the information of coordinates for Top Left area :

Here are the information of coordinates for Bottom Right area :

And if i understood well what is said here :

Top = X Coord Top Left of the beginning area to search
Left = Y Coord Top Left of the beginning area to search
Right = X Coord Bottom Right of End of Area to search
Bottom = Y Coord Bottom Right of End of Area to search

So you have 2 points of access, the beginning x and y coord, and the ending x and y coord of an area to search.

I thus try to specify this information for Pixelsearch :

;SciTE Version 1.76 Mar 30 2008 21:05:14

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("Guild Wars","")
If Not WinActive("Guild Wars","") Then WinActivate("Guild Wars","")
WinWaitActive("Guild Wars","")

Sleep(2000)

$Found = 0

Send("{Alt Down}")

Sleep(500)

While $Found = 0
    $Coord = PixelSearch( 105, 350, 900, 380, 0x99FF00 )
    If NOT @Error Then
        $Found = 1
    EndIf
wEnd

Send("{Alt Up}")

MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],1)

And tried also this :

While $Found = 0
    $Coord = PixelSearch( 350, 105, 900, 380, 0x99FF00 )
    If NOT @Error Then
        $Found = 1
    EndIf
wEnd

NPC.au3

When I launch the macro it does not work... What is the problem? How to interpreter clearly the information of Autoit Window Info to determine the coordinates of a rectangle with the aim of the use with Pixelsearch?

All this adorned me complicated well seen my poor level in computing and I shall infinitely be grateful to you for helping me.

Thank you for your help and forgive please the poverty of my English...

Here is an AutoMiner that was made for runescape with AutoIt, by Manadar. It helped me understand alot about pixelsearch, and it also has this function that you are asking for. Have a look, enjoy, good luck, and feel free to ask more questions if needed.

I hope it does you just as much good.

And the Readme:

RuneScape AutoMiner v1.0
Introduction:

Welcome to RuneScape AutoMiner's helpfile. You're already one step

into the right direction: You are reading this manual. This manual

is a short guide to how you should use this AutoMiner.

Steps:

1. Start RuneScape and log in, head for a mining area and get a pickaxe.

2. Start the AutoMiner.

3. Select the Color of the Ore you want to mine.

(Rightclick the word Color and a menu will drop down)

(Note: Some Colors/Ores are still not supported)

4. Move the AutoMiner over the ores that you want to mine. And

set the required 'Scan Size'. (Area the script will look in

for this color you've just set)

5. Set the 2 timers: One controling the interval between checks,

the other controling the time before another check is done while

mining.

6. Either click 'Start' or press Ctrl + z

7. Sit back, hopefully relax.

8. Wait until you have the required amount of ores (likely, a full inventory).

9. Return to the bank, go to the mining zone and repeat the process from step 6.

Hotkeys:

Ctrl + Alt + x Emergency Exit (used for debugging)

Ctrl + z Starts the autominer.

Ctrl + x Stops the autominer. (Pause)

Ctrl + a Puts the AutoMiner in the left top corner.

When pressed again it moves the AutoMiner back to the original position.

Thank you very much for your participation, but it does not regrettably help me a lot... I would like to have a much simpler answer if possible. But better than an answer, an explanation.

pixelsearch should be in the following format: PixelSearch ( left, top, right, bottom, color [, shade-variation] [, step]] )

Your second example looked correct, although you chopped a bit off of the right and bottom by rounding down instead of up.

Also, if that exact pixel color is not present it won't find it. You need to add the shade-variation parameter to give it a bit of tolerance.

Thank you for your answer, but it is not my day of luck....

Because it does not help me a lot... Concerning your remark on the precise color:

The color is good because with this macro, it works half:

Send("{Alt Down}")
$Coord = PixelSearch( 250, 215, 750, 500, 0x99FF00 )
If Not @error Then
        MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],2,0)
        Send("{Alt Up}")
EndIf

I say half because I am obliged to advance the character of some steps manually. Then the macro runs suitably.

Thus, it is indeed about a problem of coordinates.

You say that the right and bottom coordinates seem to you too much cut? I " am nevertheless only raising Autoit Window Info's information... The instruction Pixelsearch would answer only simple estimates or some magic...

In my question, if you read it again well, I give two downloadable images onto Imageshack to the real size 1280 x 800. Would have you the kindness, you who knows well the instruction Pixelsearch to explain to me how we can find the exact coordinates of the frame which is exactly drawn there?

Thank you very much for your answer

I say half because I am obliged to advance the character of some steps manually. Then the macro runs suitably.
Thus, it is indeed about a problem of coordinates.

You say that the right and bottom coordinates seem to you too much cut? I " am nevertheless only raising Autoit Window Info's information... The instruction Pixelsearch would answer only simple estimates or some magic...

In my question, if you read it again well, I give two downloadable images onto Imageshack to the real size 1280 x 800. Would have you the kindness, you who knows well the instruction Pixelsearch to explain to me how we can find the exact coordinates of the frame which is exactly drawn there?

Thank you very much for your answer

Hey Shakespeare, I am but a simple American, if you could please re-word that in lamens terms I would be more than happy to help.

You want to say "lameness" ? . Sorry but I have already said it ---> I am French, thus saddened for my poor English, but maybe I have to exuser me in every topic ?

What I meant by "cut down" was that your cursor in the image was over 935,___ and you limited it to 900. This is restricting your search field farther than what you had in the image. You'd want to expand it to 950 if you wanted to have a add a little fudge-ing room. That may not be the problem... but I'm not sure what is...?

Not lameness, I'm sorry. Laemens. or lamens. It means Simple terms. For being french you speak english very well, I just don't quite understand what you want.

"advance the character of some steps manually" meaning what exactly?

"only simple estimates or some magic"

As for getting pixels, I like to use Photoshop. you know the resolution is 1200x800, so then you zoom in and outline the image, then measure from the top, and how far left.

sorry this is off topic

BTW, is this what you mean? I'm trying to understand.

Have you tried running that script I posted? It allows you to change the box size of pixel search (the red).. I believe this is exactly what you are looking for, you just don't know it.

I do not look for 1 only pixel, or, color of a pixel, I try to indicate to Searchpixel coordinates corresponding to the frame which I drew in the image!!!

Thus, I repeat my question: how to find exactly the coordinates of a frame to associate them with Pixelsearch?

In my case, with the tool Autoit Window Info, I find these coordinates:

Top Left ---> x = 349 y = 100

Bottom Right ---> x = 935 y = 379

So, when i lauch this macro it doesn't work :

While $Found = 0
    $Coord = PixelSearch( 349, 100, 935, 379, 0x99FF00 )
    If NOT @Error Then
        $Found = 1
    EndIf
wEnd

What's going wrong... please...

My question is :

How to find exactly the coordinates of a frame or rectangle to inform the pixelsearch instruction....

Does it work with 3D applications just like games ?

Try adding in a shade variance

Change: $Coord = PixelSearch( 349, 100, 935, 379, 0x99FF00 )

to: $Coord = PixelSearch( 349, 100, 935, 379, 0x99FF00, 5 )

If that doesnt work, change the 5 to 10, if it still doesnt work then I dont know whats going on. Even if you have a color for an exact pixel in a square, the color can change ever so slightly (different lighting on that pixel or something) and if you dont allow any variance, it will never find that pixel.

Basically, shade-variance is just like it sounds......it searches for that color and any color 5 shades above or below that color. For this area you dont want to go too high because there is other green around it, 5 is a good number, I have actually been working on something similar for that same area....only problem I'm having is making it fully automated as in pathing out of town......1 out of 5 runs or so it bugs and doesnt leave town, other than that its working great.

Thank for your reply, well i've tried this :

;SciTE Version 1.76 Mar 30 2008 21:05:14

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("Guild Wars","")
If Not WinActive("Guild Wars","") Then WinActivate("Guild Wars","")
WinWaitActive("Guild Wars","")

Sleep(2000)

$Found = 0

Send("{Alt Down}")

Sleep(500)

While $Found = 0
    $Coord = PixelSearch( 349, 100, 935, 379, 0x99FF00, 10 )
    If NOT @Error Then
        $Found = 1
    EndIf
wEnd

Send("{Alt Up}")

MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],1,0)

The result is that the character is moving, but.. click on the ground, not on the NPC Scoutmaster Arne

I've also tried this (thus without shade but with others x,y coordinates for area) :

;SciTE Version 1.76 Mar 30 2008 21:05:14

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("Guild Wars","")
If Not WinActive("Guild Wars","") Then WinActivate("Guild Wars","")
WinWaitActive("Guild Wars","")

Sleep(2000)
; Movement ---> it's the automatic run of the character
Send("h")
Sleep(1000)
; Movement ---> stop the automatic run of character
Send("h")
$Found = 0

Send("{Alt Down}")

Sleep(500)

While $Found = 0
    $Coord = PixelSearch( 250, 215, 250, 500, 0x99FF00 )
    If NOT @Error Then
        $Found = 1
    EndIf
wEnd

Send("{Alt Up}")

MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],1)

The result is that the character move, then stop, then correctly click on NPC Scoutmaster Arne

Have you please any suggest about that ?

mwpeck · June 29, 2008

Try it with shade 5, I use that and it clicks that same NPC just fine.

$npcLoc = PixelSearch( 10, 50, 760, 700, 0x99FF00, 5, 2)
        If Not @error Then
            MouseClick("left", $npcLoc[0], $npcLoc[1], 1)
        EndIf

Thats what mine is and it works fine (that 2 on the end means only scan every other pixel, so its scanning basically half the pixels on the screen).....I could cut down the scan area but it works fine like this as a few MS is not much of an issue for this usage.

Also, a problem I see in your script:

Send("{Alt Up}")

MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],1)

You should put the MouseClick BEFORE the alt up command like so:

MouseClick("Left", $Coord[0], $Coord[1],1)

Send("{AltUp}")

Otherwise it stops holding alt, the NPC name disappears and it clicked where it first found the pixel. Its working when it moves closer to the NPC because the NPC's body is actually on the coordinates where you are clicking. Without moving, his body is not on those coordinates, so to click to NPC you have to click his name (while holding alt).

Another note, not sure if it works either way but I have always used {ALTUP} not {Alt Up}, dunno if it makes a difference or not though.

Since you still seem to be having trouble, I will point out the answer you already have that I have been for the past few posts.

If you did not bother to even run that script and read the readme to see how it works, then I cannot help you. As for the finding pixels in a designated area, you don't give the pixels for the 4 corners.

left left coordinate of rectangle.

top top coordinate of rectangle.

right right coordinate of rectangle.

bottom bottom coordinate of rectangle.

Translation:

Left = How many pixels is this from the left of the screen?

Top, = How many pixels is this from the top of the screen?

Right = What is the width of the box + Left

Bottom = What is the height of the Box + Top

^^(Straight from the helpfile, btw)

Here is your exact answer, but not in the pixels you want, for laziness reasons:

$Top = GUICreate("Top Line", $ScanWidth, 2,$x,$y + 40,$WS_POPUP,-1,$GUI)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000)
    GUISetState()
    $Left = GUICreate("Left Line", 2, $ScanHeight,$x,$y + 40,$WS_POPUP,-1,$GUI)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000)
    GUISetState()
    $Right = GUICreate("Right Line", 2, $ScanHeight,$x + $ScanWidth - 2,$y + 40,$WS_POPUP,-1,$GUI)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000)
    GUISetState()
    $Bottom = GUICreate("Bottom Line", $ScanWidth, 2,$x,$y + 40 + $ScanHeight,$WS_POPUP,-1,$GUI)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000)
    GUISetState()

Hmmm... this looks like its the code for the red box, I just assume, I did a 2 second scan through the script.

It makes sense, but it must have a function statement with it too, because I believe you can resize it. Let me look.

Func Resize()
    HotKeySet("^a")
    Stop()
    $MoveMode = True
    While 1
        $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
        
        WinMove($Top,"", $x,$y+40,$ScanWidth,2)
        WinMove($Left,"", $x,$y+40,2,$ScanHeight)
        WinMove($Right,"", $x+ $ScanWidth - 2,$y+40,2,$ScanHeight)
        WinMove($Bottom,"", $x,$y+ 40 + $ScanHeight,$ScanWidth,2)
        
        If Not (($MousePos[0] - $x + 1) <= 40) Then
            $ScanWidth = $MousePos[0] - $x + 1
        EndIf
        If Not (($MousePos[1] - $y - 39) <= 40) Then
            $ScanHeight = $MousePos[1] - $y - 39
        EndIf
        
        If _IsPressed(01) Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd
    HotKeySet("^a","Move")
EndFunc

Now, I can't really decipher these variables without knowing what they are, so lets look at what the script designates X and Y as.

Global $StartX = IniRead("MineData.ini", "Pos", "X",0)
Global $StartY = IniRead("MineData.ini", "Pos", "Y",0)
Global $x = $StartX, $y = $StartY
Global $ScanWidth = 110, $ScanHeight = 120

Have a box, have pixel search Only search within this box, and be able to resize this box as needed. All credit to JOS.

It seems that your tool does not work in 3D software such as the games

As for the finding pixels in a designated area, you don't give the pixels for the 4 corners.

It is precisely for what I try to understand, to know, how to detect the good coordinates of a frame to put back them, to use them in an instruction Pixelsearch...And I give you for it a simple example. In this example, I launched your tool so that you saw that I used it. It is me no utility because it does not send me back the informations of the frame. Furthermore, it does not work in 3D software.:

So can you please tell me if the informations which I find in Autoit Window Info are well the ones to put back in an instruction Pixelsearch?

Thank for your reply.

Did you read what I said? Move the {Alt Up} command AFTER the mouseclick.

In GW, you only see NPC names when you mouseover or hold Alt. You are releaseing alt and trying to click on his name (which is no longer shown). You must continue to hold Alt until AFTER you click on his name.

I feel so alone with Pixelsearch.. Can you help me ?
