== Explanation of graves == |
|
914 | 5 |
Graves are small images which appear when a hedgehog dies. Graves are chosen on a per-team basis. A grave can be either be unanimated or animated. Animated graves can consist of up to 8 frames (16 frames in 0.9.23). |

== Creating graves == |
|

=== Unanimated graves === |
|
9 |
To create an unanimated grave, draw a PNG image of size 32×32 pixels. You _can_ use semi-transparency. |
|

11 |
=== Animated grave === |
|
914 | 12 |
An animated grave can have 2, 4 or 8 frames. In Hedgewars 0.9.23 or later, 16 frames are also possible. |
13 |
To create an animated grave, first you have to draw one image per frame, 32×32 pixels in size. |
|
14 |
||
15 |
Those images have to be combined to a single image. The width of the final image is alwas 32 pixels, the height is _n_ · 32 pixels, where _n_ is the number of frames (single image in animation) you chose. |
|
446 | 16 |
To combine: The first image is placed at the top, the next image is placed 32 pixels below that, the next one 64 pixels, and so on. |

Each of these sub-images is a frame in the final grave animation. It starts with the topmost image, continues with the image below, and so on. After the last sub-image, the animation repeats with the first frame. Each frame lasts for 128 milliseconds. |

The first image will be also the one which is shown in the team creation menu as preview. The grave will only be animated in the game. |

== Installing graves == |
|
23 |
To install a grave, put it into `Data/Graphics/Graves` of the Hedgewars data directory. |
|
24 |
Make sure the name of your file ends with “`.png”. The displayed name in Hedgewars equals the file name without the suffix. |

== Sharing graves == |
27 |
Custom graves (graves which are not part of the official Hedgewars installation) are only visible to other players if they have the grave installed under the same file name. |
|
28 |
||
29 |
In case the other player does not have the custom grave installed, the player will see the default grave (`Statue.png`) instead. |
