The CIF files are present in almost all of the subfolders in the .\DataX\Libs\data0001.lib, which is the main data archive.

Does anyone know what to use to extract the .cff files (and probably .sav files as well) for SpellForce 2? I'm not talking about the .pak files, for which there is already an extractor released. All of the .cff and .sav files starts with "12 DD 72 DD 03". I thought I've seen this kind of h...
