Something change with pixelsearch/pixelgetcolor?

[kaotkbliss]

I downloaded the new version of AutoIt, read through the update notes and I don't recall anything changing with those 2 functions specifically (I know there were some pixel functions that had updates but I am pretty sure those specific 2 were untouched)

When I went to run my script, all the splash screens and windows that these pixel searches were looking for were assumed by the script to not be there.

When I added a message box to see the values, if the color was found, the variable was an empty message box, if it was not found it returned a "0".

$point1=PixelSearch(693,241,734,290,0xF7B324)          ;|orange color
    $point2=PixelSearch(445,239,551,280,0x0054E3)          ;|blue
    While $point1<>1                                       ;|waits until orange splash screen is gone
        $point1=PixelSearch(693,241,734,290,0xF7B324)      ;|orange
        $point2=PixelSearch(445,239,551,280,0x0054E3)      ;|blue
        If $point1<>1 Then Sleep(50)                       ;|
        If $point2<>1 Then 
            ControlSend("AutoItlog","",15,"PNet could not be loaded"&" "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&@CRLF)
            Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
            norun() 
        EndIf
    WEnd

I had to uninstall the new version and reinstall the old to keep jobs running

*edit*

when I added a message box

MsgBox(0,"",$point1&","&$point2)

it was all blank if it found just 1 color.

Which version of AutoIt was your previous version that worked? On searching the History section of the AutoIt help file, I see that the PixelSearch function was changed in version v3.0.102, August, 2004.

Major Change: Colors now default to the standard RGB format rather than the previous BGR format. This affects PixelSearch() and PixelGetColor().

I have been using the version just previous to the one released this month.

I should also note, that I could probably change all my script to read <>0 instead of <>1 as that seems to be the new value, however pixelgetcolor isn't returning the same values it was before as something like If $color=0xFF0000 Then...

is not doing what it is supposed to do when the color matches.
