Help With Imagetool.

Does anyone still use ImageTool ?

i wanted to display Blood splashes using HudMessage in zdaemon but for some reason it always gives me errors like : "Nothing to save" and "glyphs out of range" .
i look into the old post here but i still couldn't manage any progress.

a picture for example

I don't see the correlation between wanting to display a graphic via HudMessage and ImageTool. If you want to display a graphic via HudMessage, you do just that.

[SanyaWaffles]

you can just display graphics of any sort using HudMessage?

If that doesn't work then ZDaemon might not be able to be used for such a thing. I don't know much about it.

With ZDaemon just do a HudMessage with "A" as the message and the image as the font. That's been a ZDoom thing since forever and a decade.
Example:

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
	SetFont("BSPLAT");
	HudMessage(s:"A"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, 0, 0.1, 0.8, 3.7);
}

You may have to ensure that the glyph is either in the "Textures" or "Graphics" namespace - not sure if ZDaemon supports cross-namespacing like ZDoom does.

Using the conventional method only displays "A" instead of the pictures by using HudMessage and converting my picture to doom format by slade then putting them Between FF marker, and according to this post:

I need to convert my image to FON2 format but i've already mentioned that i couldn't succeed. i thought that maybe someone here have an old knowledge of this!

Ah, I thought ZDaemon was at least a little bit more modernized than that. My mistake, then.

I don't know if this will help but before it was possible to just use a graphic directly, it was the case that it needed to be converted to a font. The original Mona Lisa demo file shows how: https://zdoom.org/files/examples/monalisa.zip
