You can add an animation to the main menu, but you should forget about animated GIF:s. That is not the answer.

You should define an animation

Code: Select all

image anim:
    "img1.png"
    0.2
    "img2.png"
    0.2
    "img3.png"
    0.2
    repeat

You can then show the animation in the main menu using screen language

add "anim"

Its also possible to add videos as a background - as long as you don't plan to release to Android.

here's what i wrote:

Code: Select all

style_prefix "game_menu"

    image anim:
        "1.png"
        0.5
        "2.png"
        0.5
        repeat


    add "anim"

but...

Move

Code: Select all

    image anim:
        "1.png"
        0.5
        "2.png"
        0.5
        repeat

to script.rpy before label start.
Only keep
add "anim"
in screens.rpy

I think that should fix it.
