animated gif is not working

Hi

I am using a animated gif that displays "Loading..."
and while it is used in game play it don't displays the dots(...). Any Idea to display animated gif.

Or Any other idea that we can display a loading screen that may contain the Loading bar or something like that.

thanks in advance

Unity doesn't have any support for animated gifs. It's a terrible format anyway; use a series of textures instead.

you can not have any animation during loading anyway. Nothing on screen is beeing updated.

 

If your'e using gif as your only format, you don't have anything to load anyway

 

Hey dude, I am here.
Better you use sequence of images (texture) to animate. Because there is no solution for animated gif in unity.

 

thanks guys I got the point what I have to do.

thanks to all again

 

I have implemented the logic of rendering 4 images that have "Loading", "Loading.", "Loading..", "Loading...". I used GUI.Label (I have tried DrawTexture as well) to change them after certain number of frames in function OnGUI.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var LoadingScreens : Texture[];
3. function Start()
4. {
5.         Counter = 1;
6.     i = 0;
7. }
8. function OnGUI()
9. {
10. GUI.Label(Rect(0, 0, 480, 320), LoadingScreens[i]);
11.     Counter += 1;
12.     if(Counter%100 == 0)
13.         i+=1;
14.    
15.     if (i>3)
16.     {       Counter = 0;
17.         i=0;
18.     }
19. }
20.  

As a testing I used them in the menu back ground screen to render them it was working fine and the images were changing as expected.

But the same Logic is not working when My level of game is being loaded after executing Application.LoadLevel("MyLevel"). Any Idea what Could be the reason. heavy processing or what ????

thanks

no
after LoadLevel and until its fully loaded there is no world update nor any execution of anything.
processing will continue after the load has been finished

 

Hi,
You can use

Code (csharp):

1.  Application.LoadLevelAsync("level name")

istead to manage process in update function:

Code (csharp):

1. var progress:float;
2.  
3. function soemFunc(){
4.  
5. progress = Application.LoadLevelAsync("level name") .progress;
6. }
7.  
8. function Update(){
9. print(progress);
10. }
11.  

 

I didn't think we could load levels asynchronously on iPhone..?

 

You could also try a script like the following, which makes use of Mono's System.Drawing library: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/AnimatedGifDrawer

 

I created GIF image decoder on runtime for Unity.
check this.

When i use the AnimatedGifPlayer to play that gif, it leaves some weird pixels at the bottom while playing.
