Using HTML, images and blips in scaleform/texts

TheIndra · June 1, 2019, 2:27pm

GTA scaleforms like notifications, subtitles and help texts support various of stuff like html and images for example check this images of them all combined

HTML
They support some kind of HTML, you can use for example <C>text here</C> but also stuff like  to use more colors than only basic ~r~ and ~g~ for example

It will look something like this

Images
You can also use <img src='' to show images, this works with texture dicts so first request it using

RequestStreamedTextureDict("Epsilon_Cars")

And after you can use it like this

<img src='img://Epsilon_Cars/Eps3Vacca' height='128' width='244'/>

OpenIV can be used to find them

becomes Epsilon_Cars/Eps3Vacca

Blips
Blips can be used in helptext (not notifications) (subtitles are buggy) and it will be like this

They can be shown using ~BLIP_id~ like ~BLIP_135~ for the cinema for a full list of blips check Blips - Cfx.re Docs

Thanks to

@sadboilogan for decompiled scaleforms
@throwarray telling me about <img stuff
@d0p3t asking if <C> works which made me try other stuff

Also the comments contain some usefull stuff by illusive too

EDIT 1: list of lot of stuff supported by scaleforms

EDIT 2: Also works with mugshots if you do like img://pedmugshot_34/pedmugshot_34 for example

AntwanR942 · November 7, 2019, 5:03pm

When using blips on help notifications how do you set the blip colour? As shown in the provided screenshot with the cinema blip.

glitchdetector · November 7, 2019, 5:15pm

Might be a custom blip texture, but AFAIK blips use the current text color, so you just color the text then use the blip.

bahus9 · November 20, 2020, 10:50pm

But how about doing a picture on screen? Might you show me an example code?
