Gif Question

[Rvsoldier]

I've seen a few map loadscreens have a moving skin, for now I'm assuming it's a gif. How exactly do you import a gif and convert it to a blp? If it isn't a gif at all, would someone mind explaining how to have a skin like this?

Well nope it's not....

Warcraft can't handle gifs.

It is an mdx model file like most other loadingscreens. But and animated mdx model.

There are tutorials about that somewhere but I am too lazy to find them atm :/

The only images you are allowed to use in Warcraft are BLPs and TGAs.

The animation is not part of the texture, it is part of the model. Use a model with animations for your loadscreen, and it should appear animated too.
