about CreateMapImageLabel

[Filion]

So I've written the following alias in order to test.

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

local pathToFile = getMudletHomeDir()..[[\rand.jpg]] 
echo(pathToFile)
imagelabelid = createMapImageLabel(101,pathToFile, 4, 4, 0, 413/100,568/100, 100	,true) 
echo(imagelabelid)

When i press the alias it gives me for example:
C:\Users\Fanis\.config\mudlet\profiles\wotmud2\rand.jpg2
but no image is shown on the map.
furthermore, the images seems to be slowing down the map render time. I want to use Images to impy doors, so given the amount of images that I will put, will it slow down mudlet by a lot?

[Heiko]

It seems that you're not using the function correctly unless your door image is supposed to be 4 rooms wide in world coordinates The zoom is also not ideal.

C:\Users\Fanis\.config\mudlet\profiles\wotmud2\rand.jpg2 ?

Also, try png format.

the after jpg was from an echo("labelID) or so. It isn't an error

[Heiko]

Mudlet only supports images in PNG format because of license issues.

I'll add direct mapper support for doors and exit weights in the next Mudlet-2.1 release eta tonight.

Mudlet only supports images in PNG format because of license issues.

It might only 'support' PNG but I'm pretty sure I had jpg's in my GUI, because I recall Vadi telling me to try png when I had some code to display the images wrong, and when I fixed the code the jpg's worked. None the less, I bow to the knowledge of those who actually develop the client rather than play with it.

[Vadi]

It depends on the platform you're using... but I believe in Qt for Windows, there's only png support.

[Delrayne]

Ah yes, Ubuntu user here.

Unless I am missing something, I see no evidence at all that Mudlet supports jpg.
