[VIDEO TUTORIAL] How to add a custom marker

[FenixDevelopment]

yes I already knew, I needed to do it fast, thanks anyway

[FenixDevelopment]

[Kattrigerkatta]

A little code snippet for people whose ass is as lazy as mine to open OpenIV.

local dobj = CreateDui('LINK OF THE IMAGE', 256, 256)
local duiHandle = GetDuiHandle(dobj)
local dict = CreateRuntimeTxd('marker') -- dictionary name
local txd = CreateRuntimeTextureFromDuiHandle(dict, 'marker', duiHandle) -- texture name

Enjoy it!

thanks for your contribution

How do I add 2 or 3 markers?

[Kattrigerkatta]

Do the same as with the first marker? Just add more textures to the ytd. So stream more textures. If you want to do it in the same ytd, then you just have to specify the texture name in DrawMarker. and otherwise you still have to change the dictionary name.

[FenixDevelopment]

yes, right

[sunli88]

Thank you! Your answer helped me to get an idea of what I should do, I don’t know if it’s the right one, but it worked.

Code

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
while true do
Citizen.Wait(0)
if not HasStreamedTextureDictLoaded(“marker”) then
RequestStreamedTextureDict(“marker”, true)
while not HasStreamedTextureDictLoaded(“marker”) do
Wait(1)
end
else
DrawMarker(9, -4119.48, 7386.86, 16.49, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 90.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 255, 255, 255, 255,false, false, 2, true, “marker”, “marker”, false)
DrawMarker(9, -4627.82, 6035.19, 19.74, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 90.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 255, 255, 255, 255,false, false, 2, true, “marker”, “marker01”, false)
end
end
end)

yea, that’s the right way, how you use it.

[Cookay]

Hey, the problem using this method is that the png ain’t transparent, here is an example :

Using an image from here :
https://forum.cfx.re/uploads/default/original/3X/0/3/0301f645963889531fb4870e8d47f2f7da7f1c45.gif

It is a transparent .gif but same result using transparent .png

[Kattrigerkatta]

yee, I know. My friend helped my to fix that by writing a small api, which removes the background of the images in my database.

[Kattrigerkatta]

Here is an example. I can write the name of the requested faction as a value in this url
https://scrypth0n.dev/gangland.php?frakname=gazo

if “frakname” is empty, it loads the server-logo. I’ll ask my friend if he may release the php file in the forum.

[Perfabs]

Thanks!

[J_Fox]

can you release php?

[Kattrigerkatta]

I created a seperate post for this

[Code-Snippet]: Stream custom transparent textures without background

Hey, a few people from the forum have asked me if I can share the api to stream transparent images as markers, without white background. So here is the code (and an example of lua): (node js | I’m actually wayy too lazy rn to create a repo ), import express from 'express'; import url from 'url'; import querystring from 'querystring'; const app = express(); let port = 1337 // get image without white background // app.get('/getImg', (req, res) => { const headers = req.headers; …
