Howto get a pic in a dialog?

[nuxil 2]

Hi all..

can someone exactly tell me how i get a picture in a dialog?

i have been trying a few times now without luck..

i got a class like this in my dia.hpp file.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class PIC_VIEWER : RscText

{

x = 0.005;

y = 0.27273;

idc = 106;

w = 0.15;

h = 0.25;

style = ST_PICTURE;

colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};

font = FontM;

SizeEX = 0.04;

text = "pic\test.jpg";

};

its included under "controls" for the main dialog class.

And i have also the defination included at the top of the file.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#define ST_PICTURE 48

i have also tryed to change the picture with a trigger "radio"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

ctrlSetText [106, "pic\test1.jpg"];

to see if a picture was set then,, but Noo. nothing,

what am i missing?

do the file need to be *.paa or something? or pherhaps a sertan size?

You can PUT (u said... get?) images not only inside a dialog.

This example of descrription.ext, is not rocket-science.

Just this was my first test (when i copied a piece of OFP-script and starting to 'explode it' to ArmA, changing it, experimenting with it. Just "Doing the LynxEye" lol).

You will find a lot of errors.

But i hope you seeing 'some light' to help you.

};

Then... in your script... when the wolf is reaching the a.s.s. of the AI... in the quietest moment...just type

titleRsc ["GPS2", "PLAIN"]

Experiment a lot with this.

In OFPEC i found some scripts with dialogues, some of them, tutorials, but as i didnt found a place in Wiki explaining this kind of scripts... i started to experiment with this issues.

So, yes, i tried with .paa... i suppose that can be .jpg and .pic too. It means... if .paa can be shown... why not jpg, as .jpg has not transparent layer.

If the more complex image in ArmA having alpha channel... i think ArmA can add the alpha channel to you .jpg images...

Just alpha channel value of .jpg will be added for ArmA. Non transparent value.

I think ArmA can't handle all kind of image formats... but i think .paa, .jpg and .pic yes.

Don't care if you, sometimes, seeing how ArmA.exe is causing ArmA crashes. That means... you scripted 'illegal' statements to 'show' texts/images (maybe also structured text).

It doesn't mean that your 'description.ext' is wrong. Simply, try to change the script where you 'started' to launch that image/text/structured text.

Not all can be titleRSC-launchable.

Try more titleCommands... more cutCommands... etc etc etc

So, i'm saying you a new way to punish teamkillers... making them to crash the ArmA. Like an automatic and remote Alt-F4. Sorry if this last idea is... not much... 'legal'.

I think teamkillers (massive teamkillers, not accident ones)... have to be thrown away ArmA... so... or playing with a minimum of education... or...

Be free, and try to be a good judge with your scripts

Of course... admins in servers have to be the first 'judges'... not always the script is the best judge... remember... 'judges' can be wrong...

- be carefull (or rdy to get errors) with "font = FontM;"

I don't know what is "FontM".

Maybe be masked under #DEFINE's?

just don't type that line of script, remove 'font' line, let ArmA assumes one default value (and then, legal one) by itself.

Your image is not 'text', is image. So, you need to declare the image as RscPicture (i think), not as RscText.

The real 'text/image' that i'm showing in that description.ext in a test mission, is only the "GPS2", because, in the script that i showed you, there wasn't the "GPS" titleRsc command.

[nuxil 2]

i have been messing around a bit.. and i found out that, somehow it will only show paa files.. i tested with unpobing one of the bezerk missions and tryed with ther logo.. which is a paa file.. and it worked.

i tryed with jpg/bmp/gif and png file format..

i also tryed with diffrent size of the images.. 128x128 | 256x256 so on.. but no luck..

so i guess i just have to buy photoshop and use the paa plugin to it.. :\

[-SPA-LynxEye 0]

Nope, try with .jpg file, pay a lot of attention when handling "folders syntax" in description.ext file

I think that is not 100% the same that in .sqs syntax.

Try to make the tests with your image outside folder "pic", just in your 'root' of the mission.

Anyway, try a .jpg

If you want, try my script, changing the .paa for your .jpg file, in the same folder that you mission.sqm, description.ext, etc.

maybe you need to declare the image like this:

"\pic\test1.jpg"

Just try this last. I encourage you.

You don't need the Photoshop to make .paa files.

Maybe you don't want .paa files. You don't NEED it at all.

Try to change the 'quality' of the .jpg

The method what the photo-program-editor is using to convert-compress-save the .jpg file.

Now, i will make a test myself with .jpg instead .paa file.

If i see it works, i will send you the .jpg test image file where you want, to analyze its internal parameters (more or less 'quality' parameters).

Not all kind of .jpg can be shown in ArmA i think.

There is a lot of ways to get a .jpg file.

And... if i'm not remembering so bad... plugin files for photoshop can be compatible with other programs... use google...

I can convert your jpg files in .paa

Don't abuse of this... but i can help you.

[-SPA-LynxEye 0]

Use jpg file as 72 pixels per inch. (72 dpi?)

3 channels: R, G, B.

8 bits per channel.

8 - 8 - 8 = image with 24 bits depth.

Check this screenshots:

.jpg file inside game (taking the original .paa file of refuel icon, and directly converting to .jpg, so, losing his 'transparent' layer.

http://www.gratisweb.com/lynxeye....age.jpg

.paa file inside game.

http://www.gratisweb.com/lynxeye....age.jpg

And now, the real portion of description.ext where that kind of images is declared:

Quote[/b] ]class RscTitles

{

class Rearming

{

name = "Rearming";

duration = 0.3

idd = -1;

movingEnable = false;

controls[]= {Rearm01,RearmText};

class Rearm01 : RscPicture

{

idc = -1;

x = 0.47;

y = 0.53;

w = 0.06;

h = 0.08;

text = "LynxScripts\FunZone\Images\vehicle_rearming.paa";

size = 1;

sizeEx = 1;

};

class RearmText : RscText

{

style = ST_SHADOW; lineSpacing = 1.0;

text = "REARMING";

x = 0.44;

y = 0.4;

w = 0.2;

h = 0.2;

colorBackground[] = {0,0, 0,0};

colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};

font = Bitstream; sizeEx = 0.028;

};

};

This is the piece of rearming, not refueling, as the images showing... but is equal.

I made that 2 tests images converting first the original .paa to .jpg.

Then i changed in this piece of description.ext, the word .paa by .jpg (i converted from .paa to .jpg, keeping the name of the file, equal. Same name, but different extension (format).

Still i never tried to use dialogs. But i suspect that they are sharing the same 'spirit'.

In my RSCtitles... i'm launching at the same time, one text ("REFUELING") + one image.

But you need first to declare 'RscText' and 'RscPicture'...

Quote[/b] ]class RscPicture

{

type = CT_STATIC;

idc = -1;

style = ST_PICTURE;

colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};

colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

font = Bitstream;

size = 0.2;

};

class RscText

{

type = CT_STATIC;

idc = -1;

style = ST_LEFT;

h = 0.04;

colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};

colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

font = Bitstream;

size = 0.2;

};

Just my example, my knowledgement, don't know the real syntax/order.

I also noticed this kind of order in description.ext :

1st - #DEFINE's... if you have it.

2nd - commands such onLoadMission, disableAI... etc

3rd - declaration of the 'chassis' of your Rsc's. Background, RscText, RscPicture, RscHTML... (also the chassis of dialogs too)

4th - all sounds/music you are using.

5th - (and last) all your classes for pictures, texts, dialogs, etc etc etc all that funny staff.

It's not rocket-science, just my tests.

Now, the real files (.jpg .paa) i used to the test.

http://www.gratisweb.com/lynxeye....ing.jpg

Again i have to say, vehicle_refueling.jpg = the original .paa file 'refueling icon', just only converted to jpg.

I have to say to moderators, original .paa i'm using, it's inside original 1.05 pbo file (can't remember which one), so, if not allowed to 'host' in my no-webpage this files... please, warning/message me.

You will notice that my webpage is not a real webpage. Just only a 'space' to put files inside, to be linked to here by me, when i have to show an image, as test/example.

So, i have no links in that no-webpage to show the content of those folders, so, i'm understanding, i'm not doing illegal things.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

[nuxil 2]

hmm i have tryed and tryed and tryed,, i cant get other pictures beside paa file to show up in my dialogs..

but i finaly figurd out how to make thouse paa files

[-SPA-LynxEye 0]

Can you put some RSC text inside your dialogs?

Just show a little example. If you want.

If you can put texts... you can put images... maybe ArmA not allowing jpg files inside dialogs... but i think yes.

I want to test the issue jpg/paa if you can 'help' me with a little script to put a image inside dialog.

Just for experiments.

[nuxil 2]

Well you can try with the currect script im working on..

my AA script which i seems to never get finished

anyway thers the dia.hpp

this file must be included in description.ext

like: #include dia.hpp

the script is a bit buggy as its not 100% finished,, sorry i cant send you my paa files since i dont have yet fixed myself a place to uploade files. but in the infoaire.sqf script you'll see how i set the pictures when i click on diffrent airtyped on the map..

Roger, starting to analyze. No matter about .paa files. I have some .paa.

Tell me, as example, the settings of one of your .jpg files that you tried to include inside the dialogs.

Resolution...how many bits per channel... all that you can say me. If not possible, just send me one 'real' .jpg to lynxeye.spa@gmail.com

[nuxil 2]

i have tested with RGB 8 bit per channel and a resolution of 72 dpi..

and size 128x128 and 256x256.. my paa files are 256x256

oh.. btw i forgot to tell.. to test my script.. put a styker on the map.. and in its init feald put nil=[this] execvm main.sqf

Quote[/b] ]{_pic = format["pics\mi.paa"]};

Try:

{_pic = format["\pics\mi.paa"]};

and/or

{_pic = "\pics\mi.paa"}

and/or

_pic = image "\pics\mi.paa"
