Non-GIF Animations

[macboy]

Is there any tool/format that allows animations in a non-GIF format without the use of movie files (e.g. QuickTime, RealPlayer)?

The short answer is no:envy: . You could use flash but thats way to complicated to use in a game. You could also make your own using a series of pictures in another format. I have had this problem before and have found that using a pict graphic with all the frames one after another and a 1 byte num_of_frames peice of daat tacked to the end works. Is this a good enough explanation :bored: .

MNG?

PICS?

Why don't you want to use QuickTime movies?

I'm looking for a small format without sound that can support more than 256 colors.

MNG (http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng/) is almost certainly what you want then (as OSC said).

Though Quicktime would probably still be easier to use...
