CFSRoyal.WAV

This sound file is played when a winning hand pays more than 250 units.

CFSSetup.EXE

This file contains the installation program used to install CFSPoker to a directory of your choice along with building the CFSPoker Desktop object.

CFSStart.EXE

The initialization program.

CFSStart.WAV

This .WAV file is played during startup while the game table is being built and CFSPoker is being initialized.

CFS-nnn.BMP and other bitmaps

CFSPoker utilizes bitmap (.BMP) files for its graphics.

Graphics displayed while the game window is being constructed are distributed as separate bitmap files with a naming convention of CFS-nnn.BMP (case is irrelevant). They reside in the directory where CFSPoker was installed. These distributed .BMP files are sequentially numbered beginning with 001. The sequence number of the files governs their display sequence. Gaps in the numbers is permitted. If all of the .BMP files are deleted, there will not be any graphic images while the program is loading and there will be unattractive outlines on the initialization screen.

Size-specific card back bitmaps distributed with CFSPoker have a file name whose first four characters match the horizontal video resolution used by CFSPoker.

All other bitmaps in the CFSPoker directory are considered eligible for display as card back selections. Therefore, you should not keep unneeded .BMP files in the CFSPoker directory as it will have a negative performance impact. If you create your own bitmaps for use as card back selections, you should delete the distributed generic card back bitmaps.

CFSPoker is distributed with 2 card back bitmaps for each common video resolution. The first 4 characters of the file name represent the horizontal video resolution.

   nnnnBK00.BMP
   nnnnBK01.BMP

Those not applicable to your system can be deleted.

CFS-nnn.WAV

CFSPoker uses standard format .WAV files for audio.

The .WAV files that are used for the random sounds on winning hands are located in the directory where CFSPoker was installed and use a naming convention of CFS-nnn.WAV (case is irrelevant).

The distributed .WAV files are sequentially numbered beginning with 001; however, the sequence number of the files is irrelevant and any of the files could be deleted leaving a gap in the number without any ill effect. These files can be replaced or removed at the user's discretion. If all of these .WAV files are deleted, there will not be any random sound files available for winning hand designation.

Note:  

The .WAV file list that CFSPoker uses is only built when the game is being initialized.

Warning:  

An excessive number of these .WAV files can have a negative effect on the performance of the game.

In order for the DLLs to be recognized in the current directory, your LIBPATH statement must contain a period.

Dump files (*.DMP)
