So today i was doing some testing and i found that you can aparently upload gifs to the workshop, but they cannot be seen.
Here :
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/159711/5e4a075b-ab30-46c1-89cc-b238c47405b1/thing.png
And you can do this by publishing an artwork to garry's mod, but before you upload, you type in this, while your inspect elements tab:
document.getElementsByName("file_type")[0].value = 12;
hit enter and save... you'll publish an actual workshop item, but its weird, because the image does not display.
Might this be the magic for uploading gifs to workshop addons?
And how to make this visible?
gifs dont work for gmod workshop

well this one works...
A secret we will never know...
I remember seeing something about modifying MIME types, tricking the server into thinking your image is "image/jpg" so you're able to upload it; IIRC once that has been done, the web browser of anyone who views it automatically interprets it back to a GIF and displays the animation. But I don't really know anything about how that stuff works.
The workshop supports gifs but the tool for gmod doesnt allow you to use gifs during the upload process.
