Feature request: CAB Export to gif #144

Closed yjeroen closed 2 years ago

Would be amazing if we could extract an animated creature from the Creature Animation Browser to gif!

Argent77 commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately the animated gif format is far too limited to support all features of creature animations. Since many animations consist of multiple layers the color count may exceed the gif palette limit. Moreover, these animations contain translucent colors as well as special blending effects which will be lost at export.

Other animated image formats may be more suitable (e.g. APNG or WebP). I'll see what I can do if I come across a suitable Java library for these formats.

APNG or animated WEBP would be even better of course. <3

Experimental APNG export has been added for the next release: https://github.com/Argent77/NearInfinity/commit/6f47c416a9b51132d156091aef31e5b1e34890b7
