Gif Player for RMVX ACE

[Kain Nobel]

I know nothing of that sort already created for the RM scene, but surely it probably exists somewhere. Alternatively, you could probably search SourceForge to find some open source code which, one way or another, could be re-purposed for the project you're working on (but you'll have to get your hands dirty.)

One project I did find was Animated Gif Control, which is written in C for Windows, that could possibly be your best starting point. You'd either have to re-write it in pure Ruby, or compile a DLL with some API hooks to make it do what you need it to do. The biggest hurdle is figuring out how to draw things to the screen, you'll probably have to hack it together with the hidden Bitmap class to display it within your game. Good luck with that!

Sorry I don't have any further technical information or "plug and play" solutions, but I'm hoping that this will somehow help.
