Using gif files as a resource?

[Guest]

Well topic title says it all. Is it possible to use animated gifs as a resource.....or just to use gifs at all in OFP?

Probably not.

The only thing that you could do is have those blahblah.01 blahblah.02 etc......

It would be cool to have an animated squad logo

OFP doesn't support GIF files.

You can use TGA, JPEG and native PA* files (last option is strongly recommended).

It is comprise of 7 individual paa files (from memory, could be pac) that play in the order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,5,4,3,2. It just cycles between them endlessly.

Not as far as I know. It's the code in the .exe tell the game to swap these textures. You can of course change these textures (in Data.pbo....in exactly the same manner as High Res Skies etc).

Not directly, you can do that using setObjectTexture function in the loop...

Anyways this method has some issues:

1). You've got to assign all of the textures to some faces in your model, otherwise textures you'll switch will be blurred/washed out

2). You have to make those textures in as low resolution as possible

3). Those textures probably won't appear after loading game from save
