Animated coldboot

[Kilowog01]

The original coldboot is animated, and I'm trying to replicate it with a different text. My animation is ready, there are 76 .dds frames in total, resolution multipliable by 4(708x140 px), size of all frames added together is less than 15mb. Everything looks perfect, but when I convert to .raf and throw it into \dev_flash\vsh\resource\ and boot, my coldboot screen goes blank. I don't get why, since the same .raf works with themes.
Easy Static RAF Converter works, but the image without animation is horrible, I don't know how you guys can like that. So is there any tool to make the .raf animated specifically for coldboot? or some special configuration in .xml?

I don't think that there is a RCO to modify. To me it's just customize dds files

(I'm not expert)

Afaik, animation is carried out by the vsmx script inside the raf.

yeah, I think it's to reduce the size of a theme, and these weren't meant to be coldboots either. it's a good idea there too, since there's limited space in the flash before a file gets truncated iirc. like you can make an image larger using the z-axis in the coldboot instead of actually making the images larger. it starts at the camera point, which I don't know how that's calculated, then moves forward or back, depending on the value of z. same with x and y, but those are just very basic commands, and the only ones I've messed with. I think I once saw a theme script that was over 1MB in size. they're usually smaller, but that one had like 3,000 lines of variables. they can be very complicated.
