This is a guide to some of the resources in the data folder used by various Crossfire Clients.

• The .crossfire folder contains Crossfire client configuration and data files.
• It is usually located in the player's $HOME folder.

• If an image normally obtained from the server is found in this folder, it is displayed instead of the server version.
• If you are designing new graphics for crossfire, you may draw the graphics and test them in game by placing them in this folder. It is not necessary to run a server to test the graphics.
• For example, if the client needed to draw a dwarf, it might need to find a dwarf_p.111.png image file. Normally this file would be downloaded from the server, but the client looks for .crossfire/gfx/dwarf_p.111.png before it looks in the cache, and before it asks the server for the image.
