Store images in an addon pbo?? Can we?

[Darce]

So I come up with a snazzy little script to do 'stuff'.  It's got pretty pictures and everything!  I even have it running from an addon pbo (didn't that take some figuring out?)

 

Now, if I pack those images into the mission pbo I see the pix no problems.  If I repath them from "art\michalangelo.paa" to "x\addons\snazzy_little_script\art\michalangelo.paa" then it says it's unable to load it.   :(

 

I really, really hate large mission files.  Maybe one day I'd like to make my script do comical noises as well, but that aint gonna happen until I can stuff the resources off to one side on the server.

 

Has anyone figured out how to do this?  Care to share?

Try loading the image from \q\addons\snazzy_little_script\ instead

 

Check the other thread about custom images in the spawn box. There's gotta be a way to display images stored server-side

The only way to display an image is to either put it in a PBO or put it in the mission file, you can't just 'stream' it from the server

No, BenR is right.
