Animated Terrain Tiles?
Hi.

I was just looking over the animated figurines, and I have to say good work there Devs. Of course that started me thinking if it's possible to create animated terrain tiles as well?

Also does Tabletop Simulator Frontend support the .gif format?

At this time, there is no .gif support. And it's highly unlikely we'll be adding any animated terrain tiles, sorry!

While there is still no gif support, now there is asset bundles support.

You could make your animated title in Unity and import it into TTS.

I know this post is old but...

Purely from a curiosity standpoint, (And because I love your application so much I can't say enough good things about your company) but why is this not likely? You are trailblazers in the space but you must know, without question, someone will come along eventually and try to do everything you do but better... and they will start START with animated components. Pretty, flashy things will attract future users. I would hate for you to be the myspace to a facebook. Is your infrastructure somehow incapable? I genuinely would like to know. And thank you for all you've done for the hobby!!!!

Hi friend, any chance of adding support for .GIF? Thank you?

Friendly necromancer, there used to be support for mp4, which is apparently also very popular these days. But sadly it broke down some updates ago.

How unfortunate! Thank you for the update though. I hope you have a great week. :)

This is false, MP4s and WebM still work fine and are perfectly supported. If you're having trouble with it then that's an issue with your encoding probably not being x264/VP9.

Not all MP4s are equal: MP4 is a container that holds the media and can contain a wide range of different codecs that aren't always supported for decoding in to video textures. Same thing applies for embedding video on the web, for both of these use cases you need to make sure your video is encoded in x264 or VP9 if you're using WebM.

Oh, well all I noticed was that many of the existing mp4 animated objects abruptly stopped working some updates ago, reporting "unsupported file format".

That is an issue with the authors using insufficient hosting services that lead to the files becoming unavailable.

Sorry, but that is also false - back when it happened, I had checked the files by pasting the links in a browser and they showed fine there, but ingame they would not load, when they did fine previously.

PSA - Hmmm. just some more info... I had an animated gif (not supported 14mbs) converted it so animated png apng (also not supported 20mbs) but then I converted it to mp4 (ok 1mb whaaaaat?) then added to a figurine and it all works! Thx to Berserk! this isn't ad by or for this site: https://ezgif.com/

But it worked for me.
