Letting clients upload pictures and stick them to the map
4 replies, posted
I would like to let clients upload their pictures and show them on a plane specialized for that.
So, I thought of a DPanel with a path to a .jpg / .png / .tga (or is there a Derma File Explorer?), sharing it with the others, and then adding it to the plane,
either as a decal, or by some other method.
The plane could be an entity or just a brush, watever you "need".

You can't. I'm not sure how you can network a file really.
You could do this with some PHP and display it on a panel though.
How do you display an url picture on a panel though?
An HTML panel.
What you would basicly do is let your clients upload the images to a webserver rather than the gmod server.
Then, you let the client open a invisible webpage ingame and get the texture of the desired image, you then save this material and use it to draw a quad/sprite/3d2dcam.
