Title: Animated loading screen?
Post by: Bluminescent on June 25, 2013, 01:48:26 am
Hai! I'm thinkinh of making a Portal 2 Feral-Heart theme, and I wanted to do an animated loading screen, like the example below. Is there anyway I can, and if so, how?

While this is a really cool idea, I'm not sure if the loading screen types we have will support animations. Even if you could replace the loading screen images (found in your FH>>Textures folder) with a GIF image, you would have to re-size it twice to fit the right dimensions of the actual loading screens, since each loading screen has two different resolutions (one full-screen, one mini-screen).

If you're savvy with image editing, as well as working with GIF re-sizing and everything, though, you may be able to do this by replacing the current loading screens with your preferred GIF images. However, I'm not sure if it'll work too well.

But, if you do try it out, you should let us know how it goes. ^^

I saved it as a gif and resized it. Now I'm going to test.

;-; Sadness... I'm sorry you couldn't get it working, but it's still a very cool idea.

Unless you had the right coding.. It would work.

 I don't find this working unless you have the right coding or so. Plus with a animation loading screen it does create(in my view) more lagging to your gameplay. The loading screen coding is coded to only take jpgs images
