Display avatar "in game"

Hi,
on the game I'm working on (coinche) I suppose it would be nice to display the avatars on the game table itself.
Is it OK ? I found nothing about this in the BGA game design page.
Is it feasible in a correct way (data taken from the players array) ?
----
Edit: using "get_avatar_filename" is the correct way now :
Code: Select all
// With $size being 32,50, 92 or 184
$avatar_url = get_avatar_filename($player_id, $player_avatar, $size);

I would say, use :
https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/avata ... FGH_XY.jpg
Where ABCDEFGH is the player ID and XY the size you need (at least 184 and 50 are available).

Thank you !
I did see that (32 is available too) but I've not seen any game using them, so I hope it doesn't go against the rules/design guidelines.

Well I hope it's OK, the result is very cool, having player avatars around a card game

Ok, there seems to be some differences when the user id is 'older' (depending on the number of digits).
I'd love to have an admin confirmation, but here is the method i'll use now :
Code: Select all
private function getPlayerAvatar($player, $size) {
$avatarPlayerId = (string) $player['player_id'];
// Zero means "0", otherwise, length of the string from the start
$lengthMap = [
8 => [0, 2, 5],
7 => [0, 1, 4],
6 => [0, 0, 3],
5 => [0, 0, 1], // ? no case found
4 => [0, 0, 1],
3 => [0, 0, 0],
2 => [0, 0, 0],
1 => [0, 0, 0],
];
$length = strlen($avatarPlayerId);
if (!isset($lengthMap[$length])) {
return null;
}
$len0 = $lengthMap[$length][0];
$len1 = $lengthMap[$length][1];
$len2 = $lengthMap[$length][2];
$avatarUrl = sprintf(
'https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/avatar/%s/%s/%s/%s_%s.jpg?h=%s',
$len0 === 0 ? '0' : substr($avatarPlayerId, 0, $len0),
$len1 === 0 ? '0' : substr($avatarPlayerId, 0, $len1),
$len2 === 0 ? '0' : substr($avatarPlayerId, 0, $len2),
$avatarPlayerId,
$size,
$player['player_avatar']
);
return $avatarUrl;
}

Why not simply copy the avatar from player panel in JS?
Code: Select all
for (let playerId in gamedatas.players) {
// (assuming the 'new_game_avatar_x' is an <img> tag)
document.getElementById('new_game_avatar_' + playerId).src = document.getElementById('avatar_' + playerId).src;
}
Works pretty well

That's a good idea indeed, although I don't like depending on the UI, which can theoretically change any time.
I already do this to observe preferences changes, no choice here but I don't like it at all !

Yeah I understand, that's a workaround, but as there are no "stable" way to do it
