Is it possible to detect the colour of pixels with EUDs?

Pixels where, exactly? The terrain? Minimap?

You can detect the pixels on the minimap, as someone brought to my attention recently (he posted about it here). I don't have the addresses handy (I'm in the middle of reformatting my computer, so I don't have the ability to quickly find them either), but you could probably just use a memory scanner and pull them out.

Minimap would work, or pixels in the middle of the screen (terrain/units). I'll have a go at it later when I'm not so ill.

How does one turn off the minimap, as sinistrous was saying?

I believe last I checked, the actual map terrain data is outside the range of addresses we use for EUDs.

Toggle terrain (tab key).

Ah, I thought he meant turn the entire minimap black. Is it possible to detect units on the minimap rather than terrain?

You can't detect specific units on the minimap afaik. Only detect colors.



None.

Yeah, unit colours is what I mean. Roy was making it sound like you can only detect terrain colours on the minimap, which would work for what I want but not be ideal.

It will detect whatever colors you can see on your minimap. Terrain, units, buildings, and even the cursor.



None.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.
