GIF for loading screen

Is it possible to add a GIF to loading screen? I know how to add image files, but how does adding a GIF work?

the loading screens are pretty much a webpage, you could just make a webpage where the background is a gif scaled to the whole screen.

here ^ I’ve made an example of what I was talking about (also rainbow color background because why not.

so let’s say I was using that GIF, do I just add that to my resources folder? How am I supposed to make it a webpage, just take the GIF and drag it to my browser? How would I download it as well.

resource version :smiley:

this one does use a gif from my webserver so if you add one locally you do need it to the resource.lua

Learning HTML and CSS are the basics to code a webpage, then there’s Java Script which could lead to interpret and learn Lua very easily.

For what you ask and how you ask it I think maybe you need someone else to do this for you, excuse me if I’m wrong, but I think maybe searching deeper on forums and googling about HTML and CSS web design would provide a more substantial help than posting on forums anyways.

Good luck!
