Saving PNG/JPG Files from Mod

I've been working on a mod that produces the following resource maps. RustyPickaxe – Rustfanatic

The issue I have at the moment is I can't save the PNG/JPG files out because Oxide is blocking my access to System.IO.File, instead I'm piping the image data to my web server and saving it locally there.

In the interest of publishing this mod for others it'd be great to be able to save the image data to the oxide data directory on the Rust server. I've seen some plugins do it, particularly the RustIO plugin that dumps a map out.

Any suggestions here?

 

You might be able to get around this by using win32 api commands through p/invoke

See: Using Explicit PInvoke in C++ (DllImport Attribute)

 

Is PInvoke allowed by Oxide?

 

Of course no.

 

It wouldn't be possible from a plugin; you will need to create an extension if you wanted to do it locally.

 

You sure or are you supposing?

 

*sigh*

Code:

if (method.HasPInvokeInfo)
{
  method.Attributes &= ~MethodAttributes.PInvokeImpl;
  var body = new MethodBody(method);
  body.Instructions.Add(Instruction.Create(OpCodes.Ldstr, "PInvoke access is restricted, you are not allowed to use PInvoke"));
  body.Instructions.Add(Instruction.Create(OpCodes.Newobj, security_exception));
  body.Instructions.Add(Instruction.Create(OpCodes.Throw));
  method.Body = body;
}

 

Thanks, no need to sigh, the internet is so full of assumptions that taking decisions based on them is a sure way to get nowhere

 

Oh... I have an idea that would work. Save the image bytes to a config (with WriteObject) and then just create an offline parser that loads the JSON and saves the data to disk. For your needs it would work.

 

You wont need to use Config. You could create a JObject yourself using Newtonsoft and then convert it to string and save it using ConVar.Log("Picture", str) or hiwever thats called
