Question About fetchRemote

[HunT]

Hi guys.

I need info about this function.

My question is : if i use the fetchRemote for images the player download one time the images or every times?

Tnx for reply.

I didn't understand your question. Using fetchRemote to get an image from a website is the same as getting a file's content and using dxCreateTexture to load it, it will get the file's content everytime you call it. There's even an example in the wiki for that.

1st, it gets the image content, sends it to the client.

2nd, the client calls dxCreateTexture which then returns the texture from what you sent to it. It's then stored in a variable.

3rd, you call dxDrawImage with that variable.

If this is not what you wanted, I'd like you to explain it better.

Yup I know this,but i want make the real avatar selection.

If i use the gridlist and click the name of player I download every time the image?

[Anderl]

As long as you call fetchRemote when you click the name of the player, yes. Another way is to download everything in one time, and then just load them when you click the player row.

Ok tnx.

If I make the check size image example 50x50 the download in not problem.

But the wiki show only the example with dx function,I can use this in GUI element? Or work only with shader.

[Anderl]

Since dxCreateTexture returns a texture element and guiCreateStaticImage only lets you load an image passing its path, no, it's not possible to use.

You could save the pixels in a file and load it with guiCreateStaticImage, though.

I test This one and work fine,with check size image 50x50.

But this is the problem i can check the size after download the image, but not before.

How I can check the size before download?

dxGetMaterialSize

dxGetMaterialSize 

Before download?

I wonder why would you need it.

Why if the player enter the link with large image (example 3000x3000 3mb) other players download 3 mb for nothing,why after download the checker say : max size 50x50,and sure lag

getimagesize 
imagecreatefromjpeg or imagecreatefrompng 
imagejpeg or imagepng 
imagedestroy 
header 

Click these functions.

Tnx Cadu12 but i don't know the php never use this.
