What is a .POF file?

A .POF file is a specific type of file used by the video game Descent, which was developed by Interplay Productions. The "POF" stands for "Polygon Object File." This file contains all the necessary information for displaying and managing the enemy robots within the game. The data encapsulated in a POF file includes the three-dimensional (3D) model of the robot, which defines how the robot looks. It also includes details about the robot's physics, which govern how the robot moves and interacts with its environment, and behavior, which dictates how the robot acts or reacts in different situations within the game.

These .POF files are not standalone; they are typically stored within another file type used by Descent, known as .PIG files. A .PIG file acts like a container or archive that holds various game assets, including these robot definition files.

To open or work with a .POF file, you would generally use the Descent game itself, as it is equipped to read and process these files for gameplay. However, for those interested in modifying or viewing the contents of a POF file outside of the game, specialized software or game development tools that can handle Descent's file formats might be required. As of the knowledge available, the primary program recommended for opening POF files is the Descent game by Interplay Productions. There might be other third-party tools developed by fans or modders that can also open and edit POF files, but these are less official and might require more technical knowledge to use.
