 ====== Zone File System ======
-The //Zone File System// is a method used by //Star Trek: Armada// to store game assets in archive-like files, namely the //objtxt.zfs// and //assets.zfs//. Especially the latter contains most of the [[en:games:star_trek_armada_1:modding:ODF files]] as well as the [[en:games:star_trek_armada_1:modding:tech_tree_file|tech tree files]]. The contents are not stored in their plain format, so the whole storage method may be considered kind of a method of obfuscation of actual game assets. The format is, however not very complicated to decipher/unpack.
