Thread: Some questions

Hi, anyone able to help give insight on the following would be much appreciated.

Questions:

1. What animation formats, if any, are supported on client login screens?

2. When implementing a newly designed client screen into your client, could the same code be used/exported to install on other clients afterwards? Or are they different/unique each time?


This is to improve my file management/exports for Client Login screens graphics and offer more possibilities.
(Sorry if these are stupid questions, knowledge lacks in this area).

Thanks, Calum

As far as my own experience goes, i've only seen GIF animations as client screens

for 'exporting' and using elsewhere, it's possible however it's not just a simple 'drag these files to this cache/client folder' rather it would first need to be of the same source you used to implement the original source (e.g. PI, Ruse, etc)

If for example you are making and implementing this entire client login via Ruse, you will need someone with proper development knowledge of both Ruse and PI framework (or whatever other source used) to "translate" the code from one to the other. Unfortunately for everyone it's not a simple 'plug and play' type of feature in this regard.

Thanks for that, like-wise I have only done GIF backgrounds as well.
I assumed it was like how you mentioned too, was just looking for clarity

Client screens, can also loop through PNG sequence.
