Gif Player for RMVX ACE

[DerVVulfman]

There was a script written for RPGMaker XP that simulated the effect of Animated Gifs, by playing a chain of .png files in sequence. SephirothSpawn was the creator and entitled the script 'Quick Animations'. It worked quite well, but only simulated an animated gif on the screen rather than actively using real Gif images.

Good thing too. Gif files cannot be cached, so they wouldn't end up in your encrypted/compressed final result.

I have a slightly rewritten version available (>HERE<) which fixes a minor issue where he forgot to let the png files cache and be encrypted. You may wish to use this as you cannot cache or encrypt Gifs.

OH... and while it was made for RPGMaker XP, there may be very little that is needed to make it work with VX or VXAce. I included a routine "Test Cache File #1" that ensures your game doesn't crash if the file is missing... that may need translating.
