problems importing a gif as a doodad

[thanto_]

I'm trying to import this gif as a doodad in SM, and it keeps popping up as a round blue thing, like the core of a ship, when I drag+drop into SM and pick "doodad". I don't know if I'm doing something wrong with SM, or if something is wrong with the gif itself:



Don't mind that it's labeled as a .jpg, tinypic just renamed it that way for no apparent reason. It's really labeled as a gif when I try to import into SM.

It's 80 frames long, dimensions are 4x80, and the whole file is 7.95KB in size.


So, why doesn't this work in SM?

Did you MERELY put it in your BSF folder?

It has to go inside the Custom sprites folder, sitting outside of it while still being in the BSF folder doesn't count. Weird, I know.

Ah, I actually had it sitting in a folder on my desktop. That would certainly explain it. I've got it working now, thanks!
