Loading an image into your script as paint.

[KCBot 76]

Saw some people on the Discord having issues with this.


Above your onStart create a BufferedImage like this:

private BufferedImage image;

Paste this on your onStart():

try {
            URL imageUrl = new URL("https://IMAGEHERE.COM/NOIMGURUSEIMGBB");
            image = ImageIO.read(imageUrl);
            if (image == null) {
                log("Image could not be loaded.");
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            log("Error loading image: " + e.getMessage());
        }

Then in your onPaint() paste this:
 

if (image != null) {
            graphics.drawImage(image, 10, 215, null);
        }

The 10 and 215 are the X and Y where the image will be loaded.

That should be it!

I strongly dislike grabbing an image from the internet rather than just plopping it in your source directory and grabbing it as such:

private Image getIconImage(String iconPath){
    try{
        return ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream(iconPath));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

 

Is there any reason not to do this? I've seen many snippets where the image is grabbed from a URL. Just curious as to why.

I've not tried it out yet but I saw this in the API:

I did this and it got denied with
"You can't load images like that in SDN scripts. You need to load them from the internet."

I tried using imgur but it wouldn't work so I used imgbb which works and others use.

Oh wow I didn't know that. I don't plan on ever releasing my scripts to the SDN (partially because I suck at coding), so I guess I won't have to deal with that.

For other readers and googlers on this topic

this is the code I used for GUI when setting an icon on a jlabel

headerLogo.setIcon(new ImageIcon(loadImage("https://i.ibb.co/NZZtR7r/Finishing-Logo-LUXE.png")));

this is the code i use for loading paint
 

        image = loadImage("https://i.ibb.co/MhKGfmG/paint.jpg");
        if(getSettings().shouldUseStartTile) {
            getSettings().startArea = new Area(
                    new Tile(Players.getLocal().getX() + getSettings().radius, Players.getLocal().getY() + getSettings().radius),
                    new Tile(Players.getLocal().getX() - getSettings().radius, Players.getLocal().getY() -getSettings().radius)
            );
        }

 

This is the key: 

loadImage("https://UR URL HERE!!.jpg");
