DDraceNetwork - mapping

is there any other way to make video/image sequence without it being an image sequence or haviung to use envelopes cuz that takes up like years of time and its tedious as shit especially when i want a longer animation

honestly? no

idk why you would want one besides rick rolling someone, headshot.

well, i replaced my ddnet menu music file with a playlist i made, and i then created an audio visualizer and made a nice background video for my ddnet

but i would have to put like 10k frames into the editor wich would take years

12:28

thats why i want an easier way, or maybe a way that we can just turn mp4s into themes

So basically you cant add more than 64 images also, so that is another thing

How hard is it to implement just using .mp4 files for animations in the editor?

20:44

is it so hard devs have not done it?

could be some issues

20:45

or they just havent thought about it/needed to

20:45

i imagine it could maybe cause some lag for people but idk for sure

Yeah but if it were a quad it could jsut be disabled

20:54

or similar.. I would increase map size substantially, but they are not big to begin with and if the videos had like a max lenght of like 10s it would be fine

20:54

it would just make adding animations to maps way less back breaking

for animations you can have a single image with multiple frames then cut a quad out of it for each frame of animation

video into map file is a bad idea anyway

21:12

it would not be very teeish

21:12

and an absolute burden to implement

it's not hard, just useless

frame-by-frame animations in maps aren't great anyway and should only be used if there's no way to get the effect otherwise
