addImage utility
Download for Windows

What is addImage utility?
AddImage utility is a special application, which help you place image to the right position in your modules.

Installing
At the moment, the utility is available on Windows only. Download this .rar package and unpack it.
Open the addImageUtility folder

Put your images which you will use in the utility into images folder

Then open the addImage.exe.

Congratulations!

Getting started
At first choose the image target.

After you chose the target you will see a short video. There you can see example image, which uses the same target as you chose.


Editor
When you chose the target and pressed continue, you will be moved to the editor. There you can add images/remove images, move them and generate lua code.



To add image, click on Add Image button and choose an image. You also can choose a background image. It's very useful if your image depends on position of any objects on a map.



Use arrows or left mouse button to move selected image.



You can change selected image by clicking on the button with name and id of this image, on the right of Generate code button(look at screenshot above), or click on the image.

Generate code
Generated code depends on chosen image target. Generate code button generates lua code, which always contains coordinates and image target.
For example, generated code with !foregroundlayerdepth target will be look like this

Number after ! means id of an image in the editor. It's useful, when you will put Imgur references to the code.

#mobileID

#mobileID generated code is absolutely different. Here in the target you can see "#"..id. In this case id means id of shaman object, which was created by a shaman or from the code.
For example, this code will replace all objects created by a shaman to the mouse image.

a dit :

function eventSummoningEnd(playerName, objectType, xPosition, yPosition, angle, xSpeed, ySpeed, other)
tfm.exec.addImage("1Sg9gfU.png", "#"..other.id, -24, -32);
end

This is beautiful.

Plans:

• Macintosh version
• Translate to different languages

Note: at the moment I'm working on Macintosh version of utility. If you you want to help with translation, you can translate only the thread, because we don't have a translation form for the program now.

this is cool

but we can't use addImage in-game :(

Really cool

That helps a lot, thanks!

But I thought only lua members can add image in game?

my thoughts exactly

I think this tool is for those who aren't on the module team to see how it works, and properly align their things if they're developing a module that they intend to be official.

I'm happy that you like the tool ^-^
