PNG in HUDPaint help?

[ClayTeck]

So, i have the png, but when i trying place it on hud, i have a error in console:

[ERROR] addons/darkrpmodification/lua/darkrp_modules/hudreplacement/cl_hudreplacement.lua:227: bad argument #1 to 'SetMaterial' (IMaterial expected, got string)
  1. SetMaterial - [C]:-1
   2. fn - addons/darkrpmodification/lua/darkrp_modules/hudreplacement/cl_hudreplacement.lua:227
    3. unknown - addons/ulib-master/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:109

The structure:
hudreplacement- -materials-hud-icons-logo.png
-cl_hudreplacement

Code:
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "PolygonTest", function()
 surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
 surface.SetMaterial( "hudreplacement/materials/hud/icons/logo.png")
 surface.DrawTexturedRect( 0, 0, 93, 93 )
end)

ummm.... this is half working. Now i have a rectangle with error texture(black-violet)

check file paths, i think something's fishy with what you have now

[ClayTeck]

local logoMat = Material("hud/icons/logo.png")
this not working. I am cheked all variants of the patch, but no

I know why. You haven't got a init.lua (in your addon) who automatically download materials in joining the server..

here you are

if SERVER then
    include("")-- config file if existing
    include("")-- core file

    AddCSLuaFile("") -- same order
    AddCSLuaFile("")-- same order

    for _,v in pairs(file.Find("materials/nameofyouraddon/*", "GAME")) do
        resource.AddSingleFile("materials/nameofyouraddon/"..v)
    end

suite
else
    include("")-- config file if existing
    include("")-- core file
end

You can try

 hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "PolygonTest", function()
surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
surface.SetMaterial( Material("hudreplacement/materials/hud/icons/logo.png", "noclamp smooth") )
surface.DrawTexturedRect( 0, 0, 93, 93 )
 end)

Goodbye FPS

Material() it's precached, it's kinda the same shit than accessing a table via a string, but yeah, it's a good practice to precache it outside

Unless the time Material() returns is formatted weird it can easily start to add unnecessary overhead.

e-06 means 0.0000009514521...
That means as it loaded in 7e-03 it's already precached when you run it every frame
