How does one go about attaching an image file to a notification? All my search has brought up is this link that's no longer available.

I know that it's DisplayNotification("DictionaryName", "TextureName", "Title", "Subtitle", "Text")

 

But what exactly does the dictionary correspond to? Would that be the path location that the texture resides in? For example "Plugins/LSPDFR/MyPlugin"? Or do I need to create a new dictionary? If so a quick example would be amazing!

For anyone wondering the texture dictionaries are located in "x64b.rpf>data>cdimages>scaleform_generic.rpf"

@Budzilla I'll teach you..for this tutorial we will just use a simple texture from the game that you can easily find in openiv.

steps:

1. go to open iv and search for something like 3dtextures (in update/update.rpf/x64/textures/scripts_txds)

2. you will see alot of files, we will just take the first one "3dtextures.ytd", in that file we have three images ("mpgroundlogo_bikers", "mpgroundlogo_cops", "mpgroundlogo_vagos")

3. we will use the 2nd one ("mpgroundlogo_cops" (cop badge))

4. go to visual studio or whatever you use and type Game.DisplayNotification("", "", "", "", "")

5. we will use the notification that needs five parameters,

5.1. the first parameter is textureDictionaryName = 3dtextures

5.2. the second parameter is textureName = mpgroundlogo_cops

5.3. the last three params title, subtitle, text are self explainable.

 

If you want an image of a peds head in the notification(a ped you are using ingame), use this:

private int handle

 

handle = NativeFunction.Natives.RegisterPedheadshot<int>(Ped);
            if (NativeFunction.Natives.IsPedheadshotReady<bool>(handle))
            {
                string str = NativeFunction.Natives.GetPedheadshotTxdString<string>(handle);
                Game.DisplayNotification(str, str, "title", "subtitle", "text");
            }
