Well,imagine a Gif ground (I Know,it sounds bad) Like a ground that was animated and move in the start of battle,2 times,stop in the final of the second time)

huge filesize, especially 512x512
lag for some players

no

While i would love to have this
its completely impractical as light said, huge file size.
would probably lag some people to the floor(get it?)

Not Supported

Good God.

This would be the most distracting and annoying thing next to particles.

Imagine people with potatoes instead of PCs having a to play vs someone with a gif ground. rip in potatoes.

Having an option to turn off the gifs would be helpful for laggy players.

Supported.

Its gonna be hazardous trust me.

You do realize a Gif is a continuous motion picture that loops constantly, right?

Some people don't have the best computers, so they have to have setting set to minumum or at least low. So if this were everto be put into effect (which i know it won't), there would have to be a setting to get rid of it.

I dont mean a "infinite gif" It will be played 2 times when the battle start,or yall can do a gif that be played if you click in it...

I mean it:A gif that Will be played 2 times or will be played only if you click on the gif

we don't have .gif for our textures for the same reason we don't have it for the ground tex, it would look like shit, be distracting, and lag everything out.

Activating the gif by clicking on it would be too hard to put into the game

playing auto would just get annoying because WE ALL KNOW that there will be some kid out there that is going to put something stupid on it (let it be hentai, the dumb "mlg" remixes of whatever) can't we just keep it to a still image and be happy?
