It is an image displayed tiled on the map. To animate the map chip, first you must enable the "Enable "Map Tree" in tool menu" option, which can be found in the Options menu in the Expert category. Attach "!" To the beginning of the file name. In addition, set the number of animation tiles. For example, the file name "!3sea" is in the correct format. Loops are 1 → 2 → 3 → 2 → 1 by default, but if you add a #, 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 → 2. "#" Can be used like "!3#Animation Ornament". When the file is imported, it must be added to the aforementioned Map Tree. You can find the Map Tree option in the Tools menu at the bottom once the option is enabled.
