I have a bunch of people textures converted over to .gifs. The people render white. On my slaves, it reads: "warning: Bitmap file “y:\filename.gif” failed to load: error in file format.
It’s done it to every gif, but non gifs work fine.
We don’t support GIF files currently; as far as I remember there were some copyright issues related to these or something.
Best regards,
Vlado
