[HL] Improve the background for HL and Gold Source games / mods #3733

Currently the background for the game and it's mods is limited to static .tga files. Even the "pseudo" moving logo is actually few static .tga files that only sway from left to right and blip.

It would be really nice if you can implement some or all of the fallowing:

  1. support for .gif files for background, logos and UI elements
  2. support for video files to be played in the background as logo or elements
  3. add support for parameters to change the behavior of the static .tga files used for the logo. For example I was trying to implement the "snowing" like effect for a mod I'm working on called Cold Ice, but I can only have it loving left to right.
  4. it would be good if we can have the effect of the logo to cover more of the screen (like the whole screen) as it can be used to add rain or snow effect on the background itself.

Example:
