Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

Could someone take pity and explain to me what the numbers mean in the .ani files (I can't find anything in other posts)?

Following that, is it possible to create a splash screen that uses multiple pictures? I tried, but my limited understanding fails me.
Example:
Code: Select all
.3 .3
1 1000
splash1.jpg
splash2.jpg
etc

I *think* the .3 and .3 are the x and y scaling factors.
The 1 and 1000 are the fps and the number of times to loop.
And no, animated splash screens are not possible.

Was there a reason why they were done as an animation, rather than just a pic?
