Title: .cmv files
Post by: milo christiansen on December 26, 2014, 03:18:36 am

Where can I find the technical specs on the .cmv format? (the movie files DF exports)

Google cant find anything useful, and I would really like to see if I can make a converter application (or at least play around with these files a little)

The format MUST be know, after all the map archive has a player doesn't it?

Also, http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Special:Search/CMV
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/User:Jifodus/CMV_file_format describes the format fairly well.

Thank you! (now why couldn't Google find that?)

Did you try a site filter (e.g. "site:dwarffortresswiki.org CMV")? I usually find the wiki's search feature to be sufficient, and (most) searches jump to the current version's page, but restricting a Google search to a specific domain can help a lot.
_{(Incidentally, if you find any that don't, let me know so I can fix them.)}

To tell you the truth I didn't even think to look on the wiki...

Which was kinda dumb of me :p
