:D maybe even the wrong section/thread

I want to upload animated gifs.

How do I do that as you will know sl only allows JPG and other formats and when I goto load my animated GIF its not available for uplaod due to its format.

I'm sure this is a 'rolling eyes in dismay' kind of question to ppl who use poser LOL but hey! Im new to this kind of thing!

Do I need to use a script like animation script? Or what?

Thanks In advance!

to upload a GIF.. you have to basically convert it to a *.jpg or a *.tga with every fram evenly spaced along they image.. then you have to use a script with the call llSetTextureAnim where x_frames will be how many frames you have in the x direction(horizontal) and y_frames being how many frames you have in the y Direction(verticle)

o.o

A friend made a PHP script for this.. but it didnt quite work right. Also if you dont need multiple gifs and you own the land, you can stream them with the media streamer :D Silly but fun(I did this in the preview hehe)
