how to get the Prestige Icon of the playing player.

[Deleted]

So i want to show my prestige texture on my addon but I need help how
to get the texture.
When I do
pLevel = UnitPrestige("player")
local picon, pname = GetPrestigeInfo(pLevel)
picon only contains a number like "1375577".

how do I convert this into an icon?

That is called a file ID. The vast majority of texture functions that used to accept paths now accept file IDs. Just put that number in where a file path would go.

texture:SetTexture(1375577)

That doesnt work for me ;(

dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject("LDBHonor",
	{ type  = "data source", 
	  label = "LDBHonor",
	  text  = "LDBHonor",
	  icon  = texture:SetTexture(1375577),
	  OnLeave = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end,
	} )

that only gives me errors?
only things like

icon  = "Interface\\Icons\\inv_misc_coin_01"

works but i obviously want to show the prestige icon.

No, you replace any path with just the number itself. What I provided was just an example. What you're doing there is setting the icon part of that LDB object as a texture object instead of the file ID it should be.

icon  = "Interface\\Icons\\inv_misc_coin_01"

-- OR

icon  = 1375577

Here's my example with both a path and the ID:

texture:SetTexture("Interface\\Icons\\inv_misc_coin_01")

-- OR

texture:SetTexture(1375577)

Also, for future reference, if someone is helping you or you're looking for help and you get an error, please copy and paste the full error instead of just saying you got errors. You can trim off the big addon list on the bottom of the error unless that is specifically requested. The errors provide important information to help figure out the problem. In this case though, I knew the issue since you provided the code you're using.

if I use icon = 1375577 I dont get ANY Icon to show up thats why I look for a way to
convert the number to something like Interface\\Icons\\inv_misc_coin_01
(Interface\\Icons\\inv_misc_coin_01 is just an example as I havent found prestige images anywhere?)

and if I use

dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject("LDBHonor",
	{ type  = "data source", 
	  label = "LDBHonor",
	  text  = "LDBHonor",
	  icon  = texture:SetTexture(1375577),
	  OnLeave = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end,
	} )

I get the error

It seems whatever LDB display addon you're using isn't properly setting textures. The file ID should be fine. I assume you want this to be automatic and you don't want to have to change the code every time you change prestige levels.

Install FileDataLib, then use the following code for the icon:

icon = GetFileName((GetPrestigeInfo(UnitPrestige("player"))))

Blizzard does not provide a way to convert file IDs to file paths. When you gain a new prestige level, you may have to /reload your ui.

Yeah its kinda strange,

local ldb = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1",true)
local LibQTip = LibStub('LibQTip-1.0')

local _G = _G
local delay, counter = 1,0
local dataobj, tooltip
local _

dataobj = ldb:NewDataObject("LDBHonor",
	{ type  = "data source", 
	  label = "LDBHonor",
	  text  = "LDBHonor",
	  icon = "Interface\\PVPFrame\\Icons\\prestige-icon-04",

	  --icon  = SetTexture(1375577), -- doesnt work ???

	  OnLeave = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end,
	} )


function dataobj:OnEnter()
	if tooltip then 
		LibQTip:Release(tooltip) 
	end
	
	tooltip = LibQTip:Acquire("LDBHonor", 1, "CENTER")
	tooltip:Clear()

	local y, x = tooltip:AddLine()
	local pIcon, pInfo = GetPrestigeInfo(UnitPrestige("player"))

	if pInfo == "" then
		pInfo = "no prestige yet"
	end
	
	tooltip:SetCell(y, 1, pInfo)

	tooltip:SetAutoHideDelay(0.01, self)
	tooltip:SmartAnchorTo(self)
	tooltip:Show()

	self.icon:SetTexture(pIcon) -- here it works? why?
end

function dataobj:UpdateText()
	local output = "LDBHonor"

	honorLevel = UnitHonorLevel("player")
	maxHonor = UnitHonorMax("player")
	curHonor = UnitHonor("player")
	local picon, pname = GetPrestigeInfo(UnitPrestige("player"))
	output = honorLevel .. " (" .. curHonor .. "/" .. maxHonor .. ")"

--	self.icon:SetTexture(pIcon) -- here it doesnt work again?

	dataobj.text = output
	dataobj.icon = picon
end

local function OnUpdate(self, elapsed)
	counter = counter + elapsed
	if counter >= delay then
		dataobj:UpdateText()
		counter = 0
	end
end

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", OnUpdate)

self.icon:SetTexture(pIcon) only works OnEnter and I dunno why ever other time I get "attempt to call method 'SetTexture' (a nil value)" as an Error-Message.

correct!

Install FileDataLib, then use the following code for the icon:
icon = GetFileName((GetPrestigeInfo(UnitPrestige("player"))))

looking at this I found prestige 1 - 4 bages are Interface\\PVPFrame\\Icons\\prestige-icon-(1-4).blp
seeing that it was last updated Jul 25, 2016 I now just need to find a way to find bages 5-21, any advise how to do that?

Blizzard does not provide a way to convert file IDs to file paths.

Or any hint how TOM_RUS found all the data would also help.

I thought about that, but wasn't sure about all the other icons I saw there or how the numbers line up. This is all the prestige icons in that folder:



They go from 1 to 8, but then there's sublevels, like 2-2 or 4-1. I assume GetPrestigeInfo handles that part. You'll have to make your own function that translates what UnitPrestige returns to the correct icon if you know which icon goes to which level.

As for how TOM_RUS got that info, a handful of people have private datamining tools. However, how I got those files, is through a console extraction.
