[sorry for the cross-post - I've also put this in Resident Run Websites, but know many people don't check both and people from both use this tool]

Hey gang,

I finally have some free time for the first time in years (2 weeks off at xmas? I love academia!). I've done some major upgrades to some of my products - trivia got a major overhaul, and now, I've done a much needed upgrade to the animated GIF to SL texture conversion tool.

It now handles GIF transparency correctly, and man, what a fucking battle to get it to work, but it does. Give it a whirl:

Peregrine Salon: GIF 89a to Second Life TARGA Automated Conversion Tool

There are still some known issues - the amount of frames in the animated GIF has to be something that will form a grid properly (IE, 49 frames will tile nicely at 7 by 7, 48 frames will tile nicely at 8 by 6, however, 47 frames will NOT tile nicely at 47 by 1), and some GIFs still have frame-to-frame issues that I'm trying to resolve. However, it is a major improvement over all.

Enjoy! Regards,

-Flip
