I'm using this tutorial to try and get this gif to work on ya_hud. I followed the steps and got my "StatSummary.res" to look like this:

"TFStatsSummary"
{
"ControlName" "EditablePanel"
"fieldName" "TFStatsSummary"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "f0"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
}

"Loading"
{
"ControlName" "CExLabel"
"fieldName" "Loading"
"font" "Heavy48"
"labelText" "Loading"
"textAlignment" "west"
"xpos" "40"
"ypos" "38"
"zpos" "210"
"wide" "237"
"tall" "38"
"autoResize" "0"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"fgcolor" "ya_Main"
}

"MainBackground"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "MainBackground"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "f0"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" ""
"scaleImage" "1"
}

"SquidLoadingScreen"
{
"ControlName" "ScalableImagePanel"
"fieldName" "maw4qtw4nu_image"
"xpos" "c-70"
"ypos" "200"
"zpos" "3"
"wide" "205"
"tall" "105"
"autoResize" "0"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" "replay/thumbnails/squid"

"src_corner_height" "0"
"src_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_height" "0"
"scaleImage" "1"
}

And on the next step, like this:

"MapInfo"
{
"ControlName" "EditablePanel"
"fieldName" "MapInfo"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "f0"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "1"
"bgcolor_override" "46 43 42 255"

"Background"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "Background"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "640"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" "stamp_background_map"
"scaleImage" "1"
}

"MapImage"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "MapImage"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "99999"
"zpos" "0"
"wide" "0"
"tall" "0"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "0"
"image" ""
"scaleImage" "1"
}

"TheNameOfThisDoesntMatter"
{
"ControlName" "ScalableImagePanel"
"fieldName" "maw4qtw4nu_image"
"xpos" "c-70"
"ypos" "200"
"zpos" "3"
"wide" "205"
"tall" "105"
"autoResize" "0"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" "replay/thumbnails/squid"

"src_corner_height" "0"
"src_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_height" "0"
"scaleImage" "1"
}

When I launch TF2 and try to connect to a server, the gif doesn't show up. I'm assuming I either did something wrong or something in ya_hud is blocking it.

Please help?

Well, given my little hud knowledge I would try making "maw4qtw4nu_image" in the "fieldname" section "TheNameOfThisDoesntMatter" instead -- I've found that, while sometimes you can get away with the two names not matching, it more often than not breaks the hud element. I could be completely wrong in this instance though; just something to try.

Your second pasted bit should then look like this:

"MapInfo"
{
"ControlName" "EditablePanel"
"fieldName" "MapInfo"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "f0"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "1"
"bgcolor_override" "46 43 42 255"

"Background"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "Background"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "0"
"wide" "640"
"tall" "480"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" "stamp_background_map"
"scaleImage" "1"
}

"MapImage"
{
"ControlName" "ImagePanel"
"fieldName" "MapImage"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "99999"
"zpos" "0"
"wide" "0"
"tall" "0"
"visible" "0"
"enabled" "0"
"image" ""
"scaleImage" "1"
}

"TheNameOfThisDoesntMatter"
{
"ControlName" "ScalableImagePanel"
"fieldName" "TheNameOfThisDoesntMatter"
"xpos" "c-70"
"ypos" "200"
"zpos" "3"
"wide" "205"
"tall" "105"
"autoResize" "0"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"image" "replay/thumbnails/squid"

"src_corner_height" "0"
"src_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_width" "0"
"draw_corner_height" "0"
"scaleImage" "1"
}

Edit: Same with your first paste too; where you have "SquidLoadingScreen", you should change the fieldname below it to "SquidLoadingScreen". With normal hud editing, you always want the title given to a section of code and the fieldname to match.

Edit2: I just tried it on my end and I did get the gif to show up, but a few points:
- It doesn't scale to your resolution, it will be its original size
- Loss of quality. This can be fixed by clicking the "No level of detail" checkbox in VTFEdit before saving
- It covers up your stats summary

WhiskerBiscuit- It covers up your stats summary

This can be easily fixed by changing zpos to -1 or 0 (or something else, I don't remember exactly)

Yeah, just increment the zpos for both "TheNameOfThisDoesntMatter" entries down 1 until it no longer happens; I haven't tried it but I'd assume it works :> (although you'll need to restart each time you do I believe)

This still isn't working for me.

The first part I'm supposed to paste looks like this (I'm keeping another entry under the gif one so you can check if I spaced it correctly.:
