Load Image from....

**MGD** · 08-03-2007, 12:00 PM

This drives me nuts....
Is there a way to load an Image from a "defined location"?
I tryed the LOADIMG;0;0;100;100;$skinpath$Backgrounds\Test.jpg
and all the variations of the command and it will not load the image.
If I have the image in my skin folder it loads the image.
Is there another way to display an Image WITHOUT A PIC VIEWER?

I dunno about that one. you might want to ask CDR. In his IPHONE skin I load image from all kind of location without issue.

It's easy in Flash but I don't want to use flash for just a Image location.

have you try to use what JohnWPB did with his skin. Put a pic path in rr.ini and in your skin do the same thing. I know you dont want to use a picviewer but its a suggestion.

the thing is when I was asked about a load image feature, I was told it was for "skin" purposes. So the path is a RELATIVE path to the skin's path. Examples:

Skin Path: C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Skins\TestSkin\

you could do:
LOADIMG;0;0;100;100;..\..\Test.jpg (to load C:\Program Files\Road Runner\test.jpg)
LOADIMG;0;0;100;100;..\..\..\..\Test.jpg (to load C:\test.jpg)

And so on...
If you'd like a non-relative command to load images, I can make you one -- let me know,
Guino.

Hey Guino, nice to hear from you....
This is what I would like to acomplish.
LOADIMG;0;0;100;100;$imagepath$Test.jpg or written out like
LOADIMG;0;0;100;100;C:\bla\bla\bla\Test.jpg
that would great.
Thanks
