Not sure if there is anything to actually discuss or question about this but just in case.
To note you can rename any file extension to whatever you want. Beside the .def I believe.

Just to be a bit more verbose about FNFv2. The actual result is a .def and .sff or .ttf file. Maybe this info would go in a different section though. I'm not sure.

I was going to tag you and tell you that if you still wanted to update any of your MUGEN Docs that this board will hopefully be a good resource if it takes off.
I just moved on to something else and forgot to tag you =p
But pardon my ignorance but FNFv2?

No worries. I'll see where this goes. If it goes well, then there's no need for two things, right?
FNTv2, lol. I'm referring to the second version of FNT fonts used in Mugen 1.0+. Stupid typos.

It didn't help since I forgot that they made a V2 of the FNT haha

Something to mention. The .cmd extension for command files. Not a problem when mugen first came out, everyone used .BAT instead, or .COM. But now .CMD is used as part of the OS and is one of the ways people do limited batch scripting. Because of this, there have been mentions of things like the windows restore stripping .CMD files out of the system when it occurs. Possibly as an anti virus/malware thing. We should be moving to a new extension for these files to A: Make them text rather than something you have to right click to look at and B: To prevent them getting wiped.
As most of the extensions are pretty arbitrary and mugen and FF both look at what the file is within the .def in order to define it, you could simply make up your own standard.
I'm using a .CYD file now, I can't find that as an extension for anything that might attempt to use it.
Many people also split state and CNS up. Traditionally something.CNS is for the constants. Files with attacks and actions in have often been set up as File.ST for states.
