Animated graves

W:A and WWP allows the user to select one of six animated graves from the user interface. However, it's possible to set the grave animation to certain other sprites (for example using a team editors, such as TeamED).

This is possible by setting the Team Grave value in the team file to a value higher than 5. The game calculates the sprite index for the team grave by reading the value from the team file, and adding it to the index of the first grave. Using a value higher than 5 causes the game to use sprites which follow the graves in the game's internal sprite list:

... some other sprites ...
0	grave1.spr
1	grave2.spr
2	grave3.spr
3	grave4.spr
4	grave5.spr
5	grave6.spr
6	flame1.spr
7	flame2.spr
8	petrol-1.spr
... more sprites ...

Note that this only allows selecting a grave from a predefined set. It is impossible to have a custom animated grave.

Be warned that using an animated grave (especially a large sprite) is found annoying by many, and is usually frowned upon.
