P. CelFile - name of .dcc file for which the missile anim is in.

When trying out different gfx for a skill, this is the column that you

experiment with.

Q. AnimLen - the length of the anim in CelFile, may be lesser than

the Celfile itself, it'll just play until the frame specified here. If

you experiment with Celfile, this usually is the number of frames of

the Celfile (eg. groundFireBig has an animlen of 37)

R. AnimSpeed - How many frames to play per second

S. RandStart - To create a effect of randomness of playing the anim. (eg. for ShockField trap for assassin)

for some interesting explosions (don't deal damage, but it's an effect)

AL. ReturnFire - is retaliation allowed (eg, Dung Beetles's charged bolts)
