Applies to:
DLTCEP

General Description
This file format a simple binary dump, developed for the Dragonlance Total Conversion (and the associated editor; DLTCEP) to transfer casting feature blocks between spells simply and easily. CFB files can be created using DLTCEP.

Detailed Description
A CFB file, being a binary dump format, has no header, or any other extraneous information. The file contains a series of feature block entries. The format supports several "shortcuts", detailed below. The number of effects contained in a CFB can be found by dividing the CFB filesize by the size of an effect (ie. 48 bytes).
