UIElement Background Image Path

 ta = TextureAsset.loadFromPlugin(plugin, "res/test.jpg");

What path do we need to use for loading images as a texture asset from within the JAR? I would use a path similar to the above in JavaFX but with the plugin I get a "The system cannot find the path specified" error.

Hi paulevs

You mean like:

Plugins/PluginFolderName/PluginName

Plugins/PluginFolderName/PluginName/res/text.jpg

Hope that makes sense! I will give it a try (that's what I did in the Java version), was just hoping we could have packed it all into one Jar

Hehe I'm a hobbiest programmer, so not sure what gradle is

In the Java version I did this:

 ImageInformation ii= new ImageInformation(plugin.getPath() + "\\resources\\gui\\tab01.png");

I've just had a good with this:

TextureAsset image = TextureAsset.loadFromFile(plugin.getPath() + "\\res\\test.jpg");
style.backgroundImage.set(image);

Now I don't get an error messages, in fact I get a "Loading asset (Texture) from cache: D:\MR2\Plugins\MedievalRealms\res\test.jpg" from the console, so it finds the file.

However, when I log into my test server the images are missing (transparent bg).

Loading from plugin resources is broken atm unfortunately But we try to get it fixed with the upcoming hotfix However, loading from a file (e.g. from plugins folder), url, asset bundle or raw byte data should still work.

Oooh so ..

 ta = TextureAsset.loadFromPlugin(plugin, "res/test.jpg");

Should work in the future? I would very much like to keep all the assets bundled up in the same jar

Thanks for the reply Red Legend.

Sorry, so in the meantime if I use loadFromFile what does the string look like?

On the assumption the resource is in a res folder in the Plugins directory
