Is it possible to add a gif or something on the main menu?

#1 Post by Demetrius »

Hello!

Can you add a gif that would play in a loop during the main menu before the player starts the game?

Thank you for your time! :D

According to the documentation, Ren'py only supports png and jpg.

If you want to have an animated image, that is usually done using ATL and a series of jpgs. Information on ATL is here: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html

*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?)

Does Ren'py support animated jpgs? Because I've seen those before.

My understanding is that Renpy does not support animated jpgs. If you want animation, you should create it by hand using ATL.
