True dat. Thats why there is no loading bar too.

kinda agree with this statement

I reckon it's a great idea and everything... But Dota 2's engine is not powerful enough to run it, but just a stationary image still looks great!

Well there ya go

volvo, make a new source engine, it should only take a couple of min righttt lol

Multi threading, some thing valve themselves had a discussion with developers about, this could easily run at the same time as loading happens in the background... You load it up in ram during startup, so you don't have to buffer it in the loading screen itself, then it just plays, they could even make thier own dedicated format for playing in the loading screen.

Don't say that the engine can't handle it, not only is this menial, but if you've ever stared dota up before you've seen the guy with a valve in the back of his head turn and face then go back, and left 4 dead has the video preview of the game before you start, so obviously this can be done, and has been done, in the source engine.

Valve probably never considered this type of loading screen for dota matchmaking, source doesn't expect animation there.

they never considered animations for any source games, of course devs can implement it, but not with how things work now in source engine

i wish they wud wud pay for this

Very good job, rly like it but source engine is not capable of playing animation continuously during loadings, tried it myslef, it just freezes and then jumps to another random frame

actually Garry's mod is capable of having animated loading screen and it runs on source engine....what's your excuse?
