Soooo
I've made this gif to work as my map loading screen, and i'm encountering some problems...
When I convert it to nearest or smallest power of 2 on VTFEdit, it works, but in this crappy look.
When I convert it in biggest power of 2 or leave unconverted, the only thing I get is the black and pink checkers of nothing to show.
Can someone lend me advice on it? How to make the gif work not in crappy ways?
Thanks in advance.
Aditional info: I'm extracting the frames with GIFFrame as png; I'm using Hypnotize hud, with Hypno himself helping with the gif call(But I didn't talk with him about the gif size behavior)

You can make everything here, to be honest.... But I've found it too late...
So I've downloaded the video from youtube and cut it in my cellphone, took advantage of the original fade in and out to make the loop. I didn't bother with the watermark because it was intended to be covered by the loading pou up

Do you have the No Level Of Detail option checked in VTFEdit when you make the VTF? this (to my understanding) prevents your TF2 graphics settings from affecting the quality of the VTF

Where do I find this option? This option will affect only "biggest power of 2"?

It's a flag, not necessarily in the options menu.

Oh... it's after the creation..... Only 8bit alpha marked...

if I had to guess it's just a combination of the gif being tiny (it's 480x270 being upscaled to 1214x683) and not originally having No Level Of Detail checked
I took the original gif and made my own VTF and this is the quality of the same image you had at 1280x720:

better, but still not great due to the original resolution

Update:
Verifiyng Whiskere's files, the vtf does not show No Lod checked, neither the nolod tag on vtm.but it showed that he used DTX1 instead DTX5(wich was marked by default.
Tested the following options with the 1920x1080 gif with Whisker's vtm file, DTX1 and the 3 power of 2 options
test1 test2 test3 test4
VTM NoLod v v x x
VTF No LoD check v x v x
stil no gif. This time even with smallest power of two.
So Im uploading my hud files here, if some wandering soul are able to test it.
About statsummary.res: it worked normally with my tests with low res gif and with Whisker's files, so the problem do not seems to be there.
If someone can share 2 cents about it, i'll apreciate so much,
Thanks in advance
