Vagrant Story/ZUD files

This is a sub-page of Vagrant Story.

ZUD files, i.e. Zone Unit Data, are archives. They group various files relating to a single character together in one file. ZUD files have a single SHP file which defines the character, a ZUD file may have up to two WEP files, where the first is the 3d model for the weapon and the second is the shield. Also a ZUD file may have up to two SEQ files that define the common (unarmed) animation and the battle (armed) animations specific to the weapon currently equipped.
