Can I use an base64 image as a texture (SOLVED)

Questions
1

In my new game, most of the gameplay is to share images of your decor.

I take a photo of the screen and get base64_img

screenshot.html5(function(self, base64_img)
    -- local screenshot_img = image.load(base64_img) (not working)
end)

Is it possible to make base64_img in gui texture?
I would be grateful for your help!

You want to use the image as a texture in a gui node? If yes, then start by decoding the image (there’s Lua examples here: lua-users wiki: Base Sixty Four). Then use image.load() and gui.new_texture().

Thank you very much! It really works!

screenshot.html5(function(self, base64_img)
	-- cut data:image/png;base64,
	base64_img = string.sub(base64_img, 23)
	screenshot_png = dec(base64_img)
	screenshot_img = image.load(screenshot_png)
	-- screenshot_img ready to use
end)
