Few questions (1 Post)

I will have more and more simple questions so I'll use this post for my questions instead of having to make 10+ posts.

Questions:

1) Where does garrymod look for an image when you use "DImage.SetImage"? Like where do you place it when you enter something like, "blabla.jpg"?

It dosent look for a JPEG it looks for a .vtf and its base folder is materials.

You have to convert your picture to a vtf file (Valve texture file) I use VTFEdit for that. [url]http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VTFEdit[/url]
there are good tutorials about how to use it on gamebanana.com

Make the jpg to a vtf using what Christian said above. YOu also need a vmt
Put the vtf and vmt in the materials folder (if this is a gamemode thats content/materials) then you load it thats way

ie. if your on a gamemode the path might be

content/materials/WaterRatj/blabla.vtf
content/materials/WaterRatj/blabla.vmt

then use

DImage:SetImage("WaterRatj/blabla")

All your posts seem to be you waiting for someone to post advice then you just reword it trying to make your self look smarter.

[QUOTE]Like where do you place it[/QUOTE]

I told him how top structure it after he made the vtf. I was answering his question.

How ever you post brought absolutely no gain to the conversation. You make your self look more immature by following me around raging.
