Does any know if you can take an animated gif file and use it in a game? If you can how would you make it work and load/show the file at a certain time mainly activated by a proc then it will dissapear after the animation finishes?

You can't use .gif files. You'll have to convert them to .dmi, .bmp, or .png format.

That sucks. BMP and PNG don't support animation and dmi files are to small and only have animations as large as 32 x 32.

You can use .gif files for the browser by sending them with browse_rsc(). But that's it.

another good reason to push for more browser-based games! :)
