Texture based Advertisement System alpha

[jyrno42]

Something i'm making for Phoenix. It consists of a module which can create a texture archive from png sources with lua, and two scripts, one of them is just a container for images and the other does the work.

The module is a compilation of TexureWriter and helper classes by me & JorX and gd libary for the image creation part. I also used a libary called squish to compress the textures in archive to DXT1.

Anyways heres the video of what i already have...

unbelieveable! first video not working in Germany but working here, in Poland!

You can try sites such as hidemyass.com to walk around this.

Is it just text on blank images, such as the one in your video, or can any image be used? This is pretty awesome, and honestly could even lead to some pretty interesting new systems. I've heard of companies paying to advertise in video games, so this could open up something similar to that for server owners that wish to make a little money to help pay for the upkeep of their server. This could also be very useful for certain gamemodes and events, not to mention helpful in RP servers.

Very nice work man. That's impressive!

GD libary offers various functions to deal with images so you could indeed use various background images and even drawing or etc. So to answer your question, yes, any image can be used to create the ad... But since i haven't ported all the functions the module only has the following ones...

  
bool/int createTxdContainer( void ) 
bool txdContainerAddImage( int container, string name, string filePath[, bool compress, string alphaname] ) 
bool saveTxdContainer( int container, string fName ) 
  
bool/userdata imageCreateTrueColor( int w, int h ) 
bool/userdata imageCreateFromPng( string File ) 
  
bool imagePng( userdata im, string fPath ) 
  
bool/int imageColorAllocate( userdata im, int red, int green, int blue) 
bool/int imageColorAllocateAlpha( userdata im, int red, int green, int blue, int alpha) 
  
bool/int imageTtfText( userdata im, int size, int angle, int x, int y, int color, string fontFile, string text) 
bool/int imageTtfBBox( int size, int angle, string fontFile, string text) 
  
bool/int imageFill( userdata im, int x, int y, int color ) 
  
bool/int imageDestroy( userdata im ) 
  

PS: Im hoping to upload another video at the end of this week which will show the first usable version of my Advertisement Script.

Eestlane jah, serveriks on Fööniks mis veel küll arendusjärgus.
