MT1.7.0 Animated assets can be added to library but are invisible on maps

Post by RavennaStar »

Not entirely sure if this is a bug or not but putting it here since they can be added to the library. Animated gifs in the library will play just fine however when adding them to the map they become invisible. would be nice if they at least just froze on a single frame, even better if they were actually animated.

I believe animated GIFs are only usable for the HTML5 overlays, which is brand new. (It would be nice if they would display a single frame like some programs will, but I suspect that may be more complicated that it looks.)

You can use gifs in chat, dialog, input and frame, but not in dialog5, frame5 or on the map.
