pip and I where wondering if there is a way to have a gif in a skin. We thought it would be cool to have a dead pill flash, or enemy tanks n shit.
Probably not in it's current implementation because WinBolo would most likely just grab a portion of the GIF's first frame, rendering the actual animation, ie the rest of the frames, useless.
Of course that's if WinBolo doesn't check for a bitmap header.
Well I tried saving the whole thing as a gif, and it used the default skin when I tried it out. So im guessing that there is no support for this in this version.
Is there ever going to be a new version of bolo? Since I have started playing the people who make it happen keep appearing less and less.Well if there is, make the gifs work :D
WinBolo only supports BMP files. Even if GIF files were supported only the first frame of animated GIFs would be loaded as the application generates the animations itself.
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
