How do I include images in a mod

[Anton Keller]

Hi Magnus,

 

I would like to include images in my mod, how do I do the following:

1 include an image like this,

2 include images from a database (blob)

3 include local images, local to the mod (where the image is linked via an address from db)

Regards,

Anton.

Hi Anton,

This section in our FAQ talkst about ways to include resources. It talks about script and stylesheets, but images follow the same pattern.

 

So, if you want to include an image from an external resource this needs to be specified in the manifest. Your example would need this entry in the mod manifest file:

"externalResources": ["https://microsoft.com/"]

Images added to the mod itself needs to be added to the files entry of the manifest, and the src attribute should be relative, just like including custom scripts and stylesheets.

 

When it comes to retriving dynamical data from a database this is currently only possible without using CORS. So it is not possible to use Ajax reuests to fetch an image in binary form.

Erik
