BitMap Animation (Help needed)
You mean like a moving image in a web browser?
If so, BMP has no animation capabilities by itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format
You can probably fold it in a js or flash script to display several different images after each other, but some people disable scripts.
If you want an animated image, you must use either GIF or PNG, as far as I know.
Why do you want a BMP animation, as in, how is a GIF or PNG animation not good?

The workflow is: get your animation into individual image frames, save each frame as a .TGA and assemble the animated spray with VTFEdit (Valve Texture File Editor), a utility for making texture content to be used in the game.
GIF or BMP doesnt matter, how the engine you are using renders it does. YOu can make a JPG that has 5000 images on it that will animate, assuming your engine accepts that format. What are you doing with it?

You might check the bmps that are already used, it will be some form of an atlased texture. Just draw some in that manner, engine will do its job.
