Request: Load images from memory (solved)

Hi, I'm downloading some image files and I need to show them on the screen. If you could implement another version of bmap_create which takes a memory pointer to the contents of a file, I could avoid creating unnecessary files on disk and spending unnecessary time for I/O.

Thanks.

add_buffer(char* name,void* buffer,long size)

Use the directx function (D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemory) to generate a texture of your memory (bytes) and then generate the new bitmap struct info yourself, no engine function is needed to do this

I didn't know that, thanks to both of you!

Is this possible? Can you really fill with no potential troubles the private C_LINK struct contained into all engine structs? How far is the C_LINK data needed to render the image?

Please don't never ever mess with the engines internal data structures! There are function for these purposes!

All I can say is that these "hacks" are working fine with this engine, idk how much I messed up during my coding in C++
I hooked 14 functions and game runs fine, I fixed some bugs myself because there was no update for a long time
I cant remember how I did it last time since I cant find some projects -.-
But I dont think I even filled C_LINK struct, the draw functions just use the infos like height/width and the pixel buffer pointer.

sounds interesting.

Sounds horribly wrong. I warned you. Do whatever you want...
