Animation Durations

Animation durations are determined at the animation's creation time:

• First, the time in frames it will take to finish (let's call it T) is equal to the animation's Rate setting.
• If the animation has a valid RandomRate=x,y specified, T is set to a random number between x and y.
• If Normalized=yes is set on this animation, T is recalculated according to a formula:
  • If T is larger than 5 (the most common case), it's recalculated to equal (8 * T / Game Speed) (on the scale of 1 through 6).
  • If it is between 1 and 4 frames inclusive, the game applies hardcoded multipliers instead, which are not clear at this time.

The resulting T is the duration in frames that this animation will last.
