New muzzle flash :D

Found the video on FootageCrate (
http://www.footagecrate.com/about.html ) and edited one of the frames. Works well in AC and looks like the end of the gun is smoking. Much better than the original, imo. To install, just extract the zip to the AssaultCube folder. I was going to upload it to Akimbo, but it's down.

No, AC doesn't have support for gifs. Animated or not.

yep, just found that out. oh well, you only see the muzzle flash for a split second anyway, so i guess it wouldn't matter.
It's probably a good thing AC doesnt support gifs. Imagine riflecamper, except all the walls are flashing between bright green and bright pink :S
and that is probably the only place it would ever be used.

V-man made a script to get around this but since akimbo is down i cannot retrieve it for you. Anyways he made a cool peanut butter jelly time crosshair when you score a flag. :P
edit: I only saw this applied to crosshairs but both use the same mechanism if im not mistaken so meh.

Viper, I was going to mention them, but you cannot change your muzzle fire picture. And excuse me. I made the PBJT addon to that script! Sheesh. (He did make the script though <3)

Since loadcrosshair enables texture switching in-game, you don't need nasty workarounds to make it look animated. Muzzle-flash would, however, and I'm not willing to abuse another batch file for that purpose again.

It doesn't need to be animated, really. It rotates the picture every shot anyway, which is good enough to make it
look animated.
EDIT: Btw, the reason AC doesn't support GIFs is probably because GIF is a proprietary format, and it's also amazingly crap quality. If AC was going to support an animated image format, then they'd probably be best going for animated PNG (
http://animatedpng.com/), which is opensource (I think). They could also just go for an opensource video format, instead of an animated image format, but I don't know any of those off the top of my head.
