Image Tool - Your pictures in the world!

Image Tool — an extension that allows you to use any image from the internet, any way you want.

Image tool have a lot of usage, let it be just having fun with friends on local server, decorating to your building, referencing in the artwork, looking up for a scheme, or being used on the RolePlay servers.

For users of the old Image Tool

If you are using the previous “Image Tool”, please switch to the new Re;Image Tool. It’s a complete, from‑scratch rewrite — far more stable, feature‑rich and actively maintained. The old addon will no longer receive updates.

Disclaimer

Be aware, that this addon allow to use any image. We are not responsible for any cases of explicit, NSFW, illegal or "dangerous" content uploaded on your server. Use at your own risk!

If you’re planning to use Image Tool on your RolePlay server, we’re strictly recommend this to be locked and being used only by your Server Administration. In other cases, is it best if used alone on in the group of trusted people.

Features

• Easy to use.

• Image preview on sight, before you place it.

• You can change length, height, scale and brightness of the image.

• No restrictions on where to place your image, it can be anything.

• Placed images are saved after server restart. This works on local servers too.

• Images aren't entities. They're visible only by player, not the server.

• Delete old images in any order, just by pressing RMB on them.

• Personal option to change image display distance.

• JPG/PNG are only whitelisted formats.

Instruction to use

We recommend you to use Imgur and Discord URLs to place your images. First of all, make sure you're subscribed to this addon and it is enabled in game.

1. Press Q button(or whatever your bind is), then find "Asterion Tools" section of the tool gun menu and press on Image Tool

2. Copy and paste URL of the desired image in the URL field. Only JPG/PNG formats are supported.

3. Use settings to adjust image as you want.

4. Aim on the surface and press LMB to place your image. You're amazing!

Plans for the future updates

• Image presets or gallery, to re-use previously used images without repasting URL.
• More options.
• URL Whitelist (maybe?)

Clean up

The Images are cached inside your GMod folder — clean up is manual, keep that in mind.

To perform a clean up, head to <GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\imagetool> and delete everything you don’t need.

Images are being saved on maps and the servers. Looking up in the map file, it might be cache from a few different servers using the same map.
