CFZ

A CFZ file is infact a CFL (Compressed File Library) with it's extension renamed. The CFL format is designed to work as a virtual file system for programs, usually games. It is able to keep the number of file accesses down, all game resources can be compressed, and encrypted.

It can be edited with many utilities, but the most popular is Lu-Tze's CFZ Compiler.

Usage in Robot Arena 2

In the stock version of RA2 there are two different .cfz files:

• Components.cfz which contains all of the .txt files for the stock components.

• RA2.cfz which contains 9 .giff files (the font files used by the .gib files), 20 .bmp files (used for drop down menus), 2 .tga files (one is the circle that you make when you add a point to the chassis grid while the other is the in-game cursor), and Armor_Definitions.txt (determines everything regarding bot armor)
