GRF Features & Parameters
-------------------------

The seagulls and rocks can be placed on land or water, but not on sloped land (although seagulls can be placed on sloped water). Their groundsprites are snow- and desert-aware, but there is no snow (yet) on top of rocks if they are built above the snowline.
Ice features, the shipwreck, and - naturally - the bare water tile can be placed on water. In order to prevent adjacent tiles being flooded, water objects should be built on bulldozed, bare tiles.

The seagulls, rocks, and ice have elements of randomness to them, either in random graphic variations or starting animations on random frames. Being naturally-occurring objects, they also have zero build cost.

The seagulls will occasionally emit sound effects. If you place a bunch of them together, be prepared for a cacophony! There is a grf parameter to turn the sound effects off, if you'd rather.

The second grf parameter determines whether the objects can be built in a running game, or only in the scenario editor, and if they should be irremovable (like the default lighthouse and transmitter) or not.
