Draw Image

[VicToMeyeZR]

I am trying to find the command to load a 2D image...

 

I see there is Draw...... for drawing shapes, etc., but if you just want to load a 2D image, how would you do that?

LoadTexture to load texture

DrawImage to draw loaded texture

[VicToMeyeZR]

yeah, I was trying that one, and I just get access violation. Maybe my format... I tried a PNG.

could be... just remember to load the dds first then draw it

[VicToMeyeZR]

ok, so

bottomgui=LoadMaterial("abstract::DDS")
DrawImage(bottomgui,0,0,1024,32)

 

kind of like that?

Yeah, I think it has to be a dds file.

 

 

Try:

bottomgui=LoadTexture("abstract::myimage.dds")
DrawImage(bottomgui,0,0,1024,32)

 

And make sure it's right before the Flip() command or inside a flip hook.

perfect. Thank you rick. Not sure why I was putting LoadMaterial. lol

 

yes

 

function DrawOverlay()
SetBlend(1)
bottomgui=LoadTexture("abstract::Bottom.dds")
DrawImage(bottomgui,0,736,1024,32)
SetBlend(0)
end

AddHook("Flip",DrawOverlay)

 

ahh, the beginnings of my HUD.

I know it ain't much, but its a lot for me. (Good thing I got a good 2D designer on my side.
