Hi! :)
The Overlay Redux under MMF 1.5 was able to load the three formats *.gif, *.lbm and *.pcx too. Now under MMF 2 it's impossible!!! :(

o dear :(
You could try using Image Manipulator to convert .gifs to .bmp as a temporary solution.
As for the other two.. never seen them in use
It's a question of compatibility between MMF 1.5 and MMF 2. Why the hell those formats are no longer supported!? I don't get it...
The Image Manipulator reads not all *.gif files. I don't know where are the differences...
Probably as CT removed the filters for these files as they where owned by Coral and hence the inclusion in 1.5 but not 2.0. I think its possible we could see new CT or 3rd party filers for other file formats in the future but its probably not near the top of the todo list.
The graphic functions have been modified in MMF2. MMF2 includes more filters at runtime than MMF 1.5, but you have to do specific changes in the source code of the extension in order for the extension to support filters. I guess the one who converted the extension (Matt?) didn't make these changes.

It's not very important that it's compatible anyway. Gif, lbm and pcx are old and bad formats which can easily be converted to png-8 or 24. It will save space too.Quote:

Who talks about importance? I payed a lot of money for MMF 2 Developer and now this is the answer.
Again:

Yes, but you didn't pay for the Overlay Redux extension. Overlay Redux was a third party development, and as such, you depend on the availability and generosity of the original developer.Quote:

Sorry, that's right. :)
But it's bad that these formats are no longer supported - WITHOUT any notice to the user...
I am trying to track down the independant developer who currently has the overlay redux extension and see if they can update the code to support all the image formats MMF2 supports.
Since Clickteam doesn't have the source or made the extension its going to take a bit to see if/when it can get updated.
