How to import a small GIF or video file to play in GZDOOM?

Post by AshHouswares »

I'm sure I saw someone do this once a long time ago with the Steamed Hams Simpsons thing. I have a tv in a room that I want to be playing a video on screen. It can be either an animated gif or a video file. A video would be better but I'm open to both. How an I do this?

Neither is supported by GZDoom. Your only option is to extract the frames from the video or gif, and then animate them through ANIMDEFS.
