Note that a double forward slash (//) can also be used instead of a semicolon, as can be seen at the [Radiation], [ElevationModel] and [WallModel] sections and on the Mirage Tank's primary weapon warhead. Note though that the double slash can cause issues with XCC Mod Creator. - Frame - Time measurement, at middle speed setting 15 frames=1second.
