SCUMM/Technical Reference/LFL Files

Introduction

A LFL file contains the information for a specific room (objects, scripts, sounds...).

00.LFL or 000.LFL are index files and their content is different than the other LFL files.

SCUMM V0, V1 and V2

A LFL file is made of several resources, stored as chunks.

A chunk starts with its size stored as an UInt16LE followed by the data of the specified size. Then the next chunk starts with its size...

This continues until the end of file.

Bytes	Data
2 bytes (UInt16LE)	Size of chunk 1
xx bytes	Data for chunk 1
2 bytes (UInt16LE)	Size of chunk 2
xx bytes	Data for chunk 2
...	...

The first chunk contains the room resource, following by one or more of:

• Room graphic resources
• Script resources
• Sound resources
• Costume resources
• Charset resources
