[Solved] NWA file help
Thursday, August 17, 2023 by SimplexDesigns | Discussion: WindowBlinds
How would I go about setting a NWA animated image for the please wait screen? I built the nwa within skin studio but have no clue on how to display it.

Perfect Thanks!
I had created the steam login animation screen with hitfilm and wanted to apply it to the please wait screen. It came out nicely.

Nice! Keep up the good work!
I just gotta make it play right. I had to crop it to 200 frames. Seems like it does not like any higher..

200 frames is a lot too, I think. 
Might cause issues like lag on some computers and the NWA will be quite large.

There are some older WB themes such as the dragon one that have way more animation than what I have done. Here is a gif of it. Thats every frame shown. Might try to figure out how to loop that bg better in hitfilm.

Finished it. So Now I can clean up the style and finish off light mode.

I hope the NWA is smaller in size! (They are usually not larger than 5-6 Mb.)Reply #9 Thursday, August 17, 2023 5:30 AM
That GIF is 43Mb I hope the NWA is smaller in size! (They are usually not larger than 5-6 Mb.)
yeah thats a gif for yeah, its a larger image for a gif. The mp4 is only 2.79mb.
But yeah, Im trying to cut back on the frames while still making it look nice. hard to find the right balance. haha

I know - but anything under 5Mb should be fine.
Yeah with the bg its close to 40mb. So I will be cutting out everything except for the spinning logo section. That puts it under 5mb. Static bg behind it shall do.

I think the NWA file is created by SkinStudio when you define the tga file here:
