I've been messing around a bit with some new HUD stuff, and I'm maybe gonna throw together a new pak. I was hoping I could create some animated GIF or PNG images to use for HUD icons, like an animated health icon, perhaps some animated rotating weapon icons.I tried using an animated GIF for an i_health icon, but it wouldn't show up. I converted it to an animated PNG, and that would show up in game, but only the first frame, it wouldn't play the animation.I'm still using the old R1Q2 + r1gl, 2008 version I think. So I guess R1Q2 isn't gonna be able to use animated images... unless I'm missing something?Is there perhaps another client that anyone knows of that WILL utilize animated PNG and/or GIF images for things like this?
-is there any way to reduce the hud scale even more?
Berserker Q2 default hud has these things, even a moving head to represent your model, You can switch between 3d and regular hud.
About month ago i coded a fork of q2pro (client/server/gamedll/custom mods) with an additional HUD (switchable to default/new), but looks like no one was interested, so, i just removed it from moddb How it looks:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tIxBYcqyiD4reip1dvRdcODeo6HKCo3M/viewYou can download it from gdrive, just unpack to your quake 2 and open manual (HOWTO).https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KN2ZVZNTzZs2XyuAAYvB1QwHaIwQcRLS/view?usp=sharing

I just got a chance to really use your work online -it's like your own personal mod. So cool that you know definitively whether you fragged someone, and the other stats. Keeps telling me I'm excellent too I really like this. I may have to get a modern monitor or glasses now. Probably both.
