loadimage or a way to get the images from scriptfiles?

[vigilant_death2]

I am currently working on a mini map that is drawn based on the tiles in the level and have made use of the saveimage function to save the mini map file...
However, I cannot seem to find a way to load that image back...
Is this simply not possible or am I missing something?
any help would be appreciated thank you in advance

By saveimage function, do you mean you save it as a image file? .png, .gif etc?
Or you save the minimap data for each level to files and it isn't loading those files? ;O

More info would be nice :o

I am using

NPC Code:

---

saveimage(filename.png);

---

to save a .png file and would like to reload that png file if it is there

[DustyPorViva]

saveimage('filename.png');

The problem is not saving the image I am doing that just fine.
If you need to see the exact code...

NPC Code:

---

GuiMiniMapDraw.saveimage("minimaps/minimap_"@player.level.substring(0,player.level.po  s("."))@".png");

---

the previously shown was just to give an example of what I was doing...

Substring player.level.name instead of player.level

Well thank you for that correction however I still cannot load the image back o_O
Is there a function for loading .png files from the player?

Well, I would try "/find minimap_*.png" in rc chat to see if it's there at all and/or downloadable.

And, from what I see it, you're doing this clientside, right?

Would it not be better to have a serverside script doing this, and updating an image file, which is just shown on clientside?

It is saving 'str' to your scriptfiles o_O
So I am assuming there is no way to get the image back afterwards?

Hmmm it's bugged on windows I think, it's saving it but not adding it to the file list.
It should however work fine on Linux and Mac.

[vigilant_death2]

Well I may be misunderstanding you but it is adding the file to scriptfiles but I cannot find a way to access it or check to see if it is there so I can redisplay?

The function is only available clientside =/

I've checked it, it's not working correcty on Mac/Linux either, will fix it with the next Graal version.
