Briefing images on Rugged Tv

Recommended Posts

Hi guys i need help i am new to the mission making thing and i watched all the videos and red all the articles i could find on google about this topic but nothing works. I want to add a custom image to a rugged tv as part of my in game briefing i created a folder named img in my mission folder that is located in documents/arma3/other profiles/my name/mpmissions/my mission name and placed the image in that folder, i the used this link in the tv texture tab this setObjectTexture [0, "img\pic1.jpg"]; . I keep getting a error picture this setObjectTexture [0, "img\pic1.jpg"]; not found.

Maybe there is something missing:

 

_objectname setObjectTexture [0, "\img\pic1.jpg"];

the \ . Also when opening the screen at about the buttom there is a path you can use to insert the image directly. In Arma in general even if an \ is / it will not find the files. Common in programming I believe.  Other sort of issues are file formats like being a .png and not a .jpg .

hi mate no the pic is named pic1

 

 

Yes, I understand that, I'm asking what folder is "pic1" inside of? 

 

If you are using "img\pic1.jpg" that suggest that pic1is inside a folder named, img. Is pic1 inside a folder named, img?

Double click on the rugged tv, go down to where is says, Texture#0

 

In the field next to Texture#0 put this in,    img\pic1.jpg 

 

That should work.

You need to make sure that the picture is in fact in the correct folder.

 

First make sure the pic is in the correct mission folder. I have accidently put my texture pic inside the wrong mission folder, so it can happen.

 

Next make sure all spelling is correct, and you don't have any typos.

Edit right inside the Eden Mission Editor. Do not use the MP Version.

The MP Version should just be the exported version from the Original.

Place the name of the Rugged TV and if it does not have a name you can give the TV one.

 

Then the code you can put in the activation field of a trigger. In the condition place true . That should work. If you do not want a trigger you can try placing this instead of the objectname if you place the code in the Rugged TVs initisalization field.

This works in MP and was executed via script.

 

[objectName,[0,"images\imageName.jpg"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture",0,true];

objectName is the variable name of the rugged tv. Example image pulled from the internet. Instead of flag_0 you would put rugged_tv.

image-25.png?ssl=1

images is a folder inside your mission folder which has the pic1.jpg. You can put the jpg in the root of your mission folder if you want and it would then look like this

[rugged_tv,[0,"pic1.jpg"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture",0,true];

Create a document and name it rugged_tv.sqf (NOT rugged_tv.sqf.txt) must end in sqf.

 

For testing purposes create another document in the root of your mission folder called init.sqf.

Add this line inside this document and save it.

[rugged_tv,[0,"pic1.jpg"]] remoteExec ["setObjectTexture",0,true];

When you play the mission the rugged_tv will show pic1.jpg on the screen of the rugged_tv if the image is sized correctly. (Start by making the image 512 x 512 pixels)

There are other ways to initiate when the image displays but this will give you a start.

 

If you are still stuck I will upload a sample mission for you and PM it.

Put the downloaded file in your My Documents\Arma 3\missions\your_saved_mission_folder or where ever your mission folder is saved.

 

Open the mission via the editor in virtual reality. The mission folder name is rugged_tv.VR. Once open in VR, play the mission. Study the mission file contents to see how it's done.
