Good example to get people started, a couple of tips:

[ code removed as suggestions are in the release ]

A good place for getting TTF fonts is:

Another tip, some fonts ( such as 'pixel fonts' ) look better without anti-aliasing ( edge smoothing ) and it can be turned off by making the font color a negative value.

For example:
$text_color0 = 0 - $text_color0;
So 12 would become -12.

Or directly on the function:
imagettftext($im,11,0,10,14,$text_color0,$text_font0,$string0);
To:
imagettftext($im,11,0,10,14,-$text_color0,$text_font0,$string0);

The catch is it does not work on pure black ( can't have negative zero )
So instead you have to use the next nearest:
$text_color0 = ImageColorAllocate($im,1,1,1);

[updated to clarify the problem with pure black]

The number of parameters can be confusing, and also the map image can be jpg/png/gif, here is the code needed to add the map to your example.




$im_map_width  = 80;

$im_map_height = 60;

$im_map_posx   = 200;

$im_map_posy   = 30;



$im_map_info = getimagesize($misc['image_map']);

if ($im_map_info[2] == 1) { $im_map = imagecreatefromgif($misc['image_map']);  }

elseif ($im_map_info[2] == 2) { $im_map = imagecreatefromjpeg($misc['image_map']); }

elseif ($im_map_info[2] == 3) { $im_map = imagecreatefrompng($misc['image_map']);  }

imagecopyresampled($im, $im_map, $im_map_posx, $im_map_posy, 0, 0, $im_map_width, $im_map_height, $im_map_info[0], $im_map_info[1]);

It needs to go after the line:
$im = imagecreatefrompng("$bgimg");
( those quotes around $bgimg should not be there )

huge thanks man! didn´t knew it´s that easy, now when i see it it´s pretty simple actually :/

here´s what i´ve done with it (live)

(i borrowed the background from an licenced gameserver admin panel i use and modified the server name area so i can put longer text, rest is automaticaly stripped to fit in box)

Looking good

On of the advantages of an image is, if your short on space for the server name you can always rotate the text 270 degrees and put it down the side ( like gametracker )

Here is some updated code which adds the padlock and game icon to the map image before it is resized and added to the background ( apply the icon directly to the background if it becomes to small )




$im = imagecreatefrompng($bgimg);



$im_map_width  = 80;

$im_map_height = 60;

$im_map_posx   = 200;

$im_map_posy   = 10;



$im_map_info = getimagesize($misc['image_map']);

if ($im_map_info[2] == 1) { $im_map = imagecreatefromgif($misc['image_map']);  }

elseif ($im_map_info[2] == 2) { $im_map = imagecreatefromjpeg($misc['image_map']); }

elseif ($im_map_info[2] == 3) { $im_map = imagecreatefrompng($misc['image_map']);  }



$im_icon_info = getimagesize($misc['icon_game']);

if ($im_icon_info[2] == 1) { $im_icon = imagecreatefromgif($misc['icon_game']); }

elseif ($im_icon_info[2] == 3) { $im_icon = imagecreatefrompng($misc['icon_game']); }

imagecopyresampled($im_map, $im_icon, 4, 4, 0, 0, $im_icon_info[0], $im_icon_info[1], $im_icon_info[0], $im_icon_info[1]);



if ($server['s']['password'])

{

  $im_pass_info = getimagesize($misc['image_map_password']);

  $im_pass = imagecreatefromgif($misc['image_map_password']);

  imagecopyresampled($im_map, $im_pass, 0, 0, 0, 0, $im_map_info[0], $im_map_info[1], $im_pass_info[0], $im_pass_info[1]);

}



imagecopyresampled($im, $im_map, $im_map_posx, $im_map_posy, 0, 0, $im_map_width, $im_map_height, $im_map_info[0], $im_map_info[1]);

So you have all the basic components to do whatever design you like.
