gifs as textures?

Is it possible to make a gif work in beamng as a texture? im testing it right now but the gif acts as an image and nothing else. is there a way to make something like that work?
The thing is im trying to make a tv prop for beamng, planning to add like 10-20 gifs together to make a "tv" ish effect.
would something like that be possible?

 

You can do it the same way the ETK's navigation screen works. It's actually an HTML page displayed as a texture.
I recall someone made a video play on it, so gifs should be doable too.

 

Oh, html? ok then. do you know how to do it? i think ill need a bit of help for this one. ill look into the html but tbh ive got no clue how html works.

 

From the ETK's materials.cs

Code:

singleton Material(etk800_screen)
{
    mapTo = "etk800_screen";
    diffuseMap[0] = "@etk800_screen";
    specularMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1";
    specularPower[0] = "32";
    useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
    castShadows = "1";
    translucent = "0";
    translucentBlendOp = "None";
    alphaTest = "0";
    alphaRef = "0";
    emissive[0] = "1";
    //cubemap = "global_cubemap_metalblurred";
    materialTag0 = "beamng"; materialTag1 = "vehicle";
};

Take a look at etk800.zip\lua\screens.lua to see how this texture gets created.
Maybe someone else can help by simplifying it down to only the basics needed to display a gif.

 

yup, still dont know how to do this. i dont know coding. like at all. basically, jbeam is as far as my knowledge goes. i get the materials.cs, but lua and html, no clue. ill look around tho, might figure it out somehow anyways.
