animated gif files

Steel Drummer · Tue 28/03/2006 05:10:43

how do I get animated .gif files like the ones on indylc2.com?

Scummbuddy · Tue 28/03/2006 05:38:34

What exactly are you asking?

how do you create animated gifs from several static images, or just how to import gifs into ags?
--------------------
Edit* I agree with Gilbot below, and you will need to go to google and input "gif creator" or "gif maker" and you'll get one. Try to get one that doesn't put watermarks, or images all over the final .gif

I think he's asking about creating animated GIFs, not importing, in that case it doesn't belong in this forum.

I know how to import them into ags, but I don't know how to post them on the forums/websites so people can see the whole animation.

That's HTML, and HTML isn't allowed in this forum.

The SMF way of doing it would be:

[ img ]http://www.someurl.com/image.ext[ /img ]

where "www.someurl.com/" is the domain name and folder, i.e., if you use a free host like SiteSled it would be "www.sitesled.com/members/membername/" (where membername is the member's user name); and "image.ext" is the name of the file, i.e. "picture.gif" or "skyline.jpg" or whatever.

For instructions on how to make animated GIFs, click here..

Sorry for the harshness, but I mean seriously, did this require a thread?

EDIT:
And look for this link, when you post something..

How do I post images, smileys and formatting?

It's right above "THINK BEFORE YOU POST!" ..something you don't seem to do.

well, this originally was on the beginner's forum but got moved. I just wasn't sure if i needed a program or not to animate them and post them on the internet. I asked on the indylc2 forums and they actually HELPED. Thanks a whole frickin' lot.

Okay, I'll say this again.

yoda, if you want any respect here, you might try getting rid of your attitude. People will give you crap for threads like this because you -should- have thought before you posted, and you -should- have checked the sticky threads. Above all, you -should- have read the "How to post smileys" etc link.

Just say, "Whoops! Sorry, I didn't see those things before. Sorry guys, I'll think before I post next time".

I might also point out that people -did- help you you here.

Steel Drummer · Wed 29/03/2006 22:21:27

well I'm just pointing out that people aren't very friendly on this forum. The only thing their good for on this is for finding people to help you make a game. IMO, this forum sucks.

biothlebop · Wed 29/03/2006 22:24:38

It takes two to tango.

O don't get your knickers in a twist, we are a quite friendly forum. I have seen much worse, believe me. you can't expect people to instantly respect you, it just doesn't work that way. make your game, and PROVE to us that it doesn't suck, it seems to me your just full of hot air. so cool down and get your head out of your umm.. umm.. bumm.
its not the end of the world. show us what you can do and we wil be happy to comment.just don't come in like you are king of the world. it ALWAYS backfires.

Unless you are indeed the king of the world, then... Welcome my King!

You're right. I'm leaving NOW.

P.S. I hate you all.

Oh for heavens sake. Do you read people's posts, or do you just think everyone else is below and therefore trying to usurp your awesomeness? All it takes is a vaguely pleasant attitude, and you'll get along fine. Be an arrogant ass like you did in the above quote, and criticise the people here, and you'll find yourself on the business end of the "you suck stick".

You posted many times before, with a variety of inanely craptacular threads. I've given you the benefit of the doubt in the past. No matter what you do in the future, I'm willing to accept you'll change your attitude for the better. In all honesty, from what I've seen in the past, you've been given a better chance than some of the like-minded, new people on this forum. They all thought they were better than everyone else here, too, and threw sissy-fits when someone said anything they didn't agree with.

If you can find a better and more friendly forum, please let me know. I'll join, post in your style and see what the response is. No, seriously, please do. It'll be an interesting experiment. Until then, try acting maturely and accepting some advice and/or criticism once in a while instead of whining about it like a spoilt child.

word child is key. How old are you, yodaman11111?

11111 ...I guess.
