Creating an animated Goldsrc Menu

GoldSrc

Creating an animated title manually

In GoldSrc, the logo images are split into TGA tiles.

Creating the tiles

Since the Half-Life 25th Aniversary Update, the engine uses TGA files to generate an animated title if liblist.gam has animated_title "1". The tile files are located under .resource/.
