[SOLVED] Create a logo for the screen

[Otto]

Ok, I think most of the people here has played on DKR, or checked out it. (Sorry for bad english)

What I mean here is that, I wanna make a logo on some corner of the screen, that appears all the time since you connect, up you disconnect.

I'll do the image, based on the DKR one:

I think you have seen it.

How can I script something for showing this logo? (The one I'll photoshop with the same sizes).

You can use one of these functions:

guiCreateStaticImage 
dxDrawImage

You can use one of these functions:

guiCreateStaticImage 
dxDrawImage 

So, the name of the image will be fgislogo.png

How can I add it to the script?

Click the names of those functions.

I did, but I don't understand, that's why I'm asking.

What don't you understand? is really easy to create a simple logo in the screen.

What you don't understand? is really easy to create a simple logo in the screen.

It's probably one of the simplest scripting tasks, as far as I know.

The easiest is creating announces in the chat

BTW, Castillo, it's "What DON'T YOU", not "what you don't".

-.-

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", getLocalPlayer(),

function()

dxDrawImage( ... )

end )

Thats all. ( Do it for ur self. it is only the syntax. )

Wiki, start with basics first.

Easier.

Just add this code to any client script:

sw, sh = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
width, height = guiGetSize ( IMAGEPATH ) --IMAGEPATH is the path of the logo (e.g. "logo.png") 
guiCreateStaticImage ( sw - ( width / 2 ), sh - ( height / 2 ) , width, height, false ) 

and create a meta.xml that includes that file.

[Otto]

Let me see:

sw, sh = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
width, height = guiGetSize ( fgislogo.png ) 
guiCreateStaticImage ( sw - ( width / 2 ), sh - ( height / 2 ) , width, height, false ) 
function checkResolutionOnStart ( theResource ) 
    if theResource ~= getThisResource() then return end 
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
    if ( x <= 640 ) and ( y <= 480 ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "Wait! You are running this game with a low resolution. Some things would not appear on your screen. Turn resolution more than 640x480 if you can." ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), checkResolutionOnStart ) 

Something like that?

[Castillo]

"width, height = guiGetSize ( fgislogo.png )" ? what is that? you can't get the size from a image file.. you need a valid GUI element.

sw, sh = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
width, height = guiGetSize ( theElement ) 
guiCreateStaticImage ( sw - ( width / 2 ), sh - ( height / 2 ) , width, height, false ) 
function checkResolutionOnStart ( theResource ) 
    if theResource ~= getThisResource() then return end 
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
    if ( x <= 640 ) and ( y <= 480 ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "Wait! You are running this game with a low resolution. Some things would not appear on your screen. Turn resolution more than 640x480 if you can." ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), checkResolutionOnStart ) 

Like.. Have you got Skype?

So I changed it to "theElement". How can the program know that "theElement" is "fgislogo.png" ?

[Castillo]

It can't detect because is not a ELEMENT! try something like this:

local sw, sh = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
local width, height = 20, 30 
guiCreateStaticImage ( sw - ( width / 2 ), sh - ( height / 2 ) , width, height, "fgislogo.png", false ) 
function checkResolutionOnStart ( theResource ) 
    if theResource ~= getThisResource() then return end 
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
    if ( x <= 640 ) and ( y <= 480 ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "Wait! You are running this game with a low resolution. Some things would not appear on your screen. Turn resolution more than 640x480 if you can." ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), checkResolutionOnStart ) 

the width and height had to be configured by yourself.

Ok guys, thanks for attention, I have finished it. Then I'll upload it to MTA Communiry site once it's finished.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
