Is there a way to make a cursor in soldat to rotate while playing, ingame?

Thx

No, you can't animate stuff in soldat that is not animated by default (like the explosion).

...because Michal can't really use GIF format for Soldat graphics...*sigh*

the cursor should be positioned by the center, not the top left corner. there's something i'd like to do with it, but it wouldnt work :(

yeah, then you could make the bullet-proof vest a force feild bubble type thing.

you can obviously edit the cursor file in a paint proggy

As far as I know the GIF license/patent stuff has expired in at least some, if not all countries.
it still isn't a good choice for animations in Soldat imho.

lol? is it forbidden in some countries to create and use gif files? oO

GIF is not good for games, its packed. Bmp is just raw bitmap, which makes it the best choice, even for animations

EDIT: back to the topic... It would rock to have option for animated cursors, like from ini would be CURSOR_FRAMES = 5 and the frame names would be like cursor_1.bmp, cursor_2.bmp etc..

The LZW compression algorithm on which GIF is based, was covered by a U.S. patent 4,558,302 owned by Unisys. When Compuserve first developed the GIF they did not know that LZW was covered by a patent.

Before 1994, Unisys was not aware that GIF used LZW. In December 1994, after Unisys discovered that GIF used the LZW, they announced that they would be seeking royalties on that patent; all commercial programs capable of producing GIF files would be required to pay a license fee to Unisys.
(...)
On June 20, 2003, the United States patent on the LZW algorithm expired, which means that Unisys and Compuserve can no longer collect royalties for use of the GIF format in that country. Those bothered with the patent enforcement dubbed this day GIF Liberation Day. The equivalent patents in Europe and Japan expired on June 18 and June 20, 2004 respectively, with the Canada patent following on July 7.
