The truth about TCD

[FlightxD]

Hi. We (me and my team) have finally broke the cipher that Zemi Interactive brought us when 4Story released. It took us, the community, 14 years to finally break it.

Ladies and gentleman, we present you the real name behind TCD:

Tachyon Compressed Data

Have fun.

Hi FlightxD,

I have to disappoint you, me and my team, which includes the best developers like Moray, Vetracek or Aiut. We have deciphered that TCD is an abbreviation for TClient Data. Don't be sad, it doesn't always work well and I wish you and your team a lot of success. Regards

Tcds aren't compressed though 🤔

Hello,
I have to correct both of you. Together with the help of my team and google WE are the ones finding out what's the real meaning behind the mysterious "TCD". We came to the conclusion that the real meaning is "The cat's dead".

Kind regards

Yes they are. It is a collection of data that is bundled together to save space. It shows that you have no real experiences in 4Story sources and that you rode from Pavel's wave all the time. No wonder he left you!

Before you try to attack us, do not forget that my team's work can be seen on almost every private server, that is running.

Anyway, the next thing we are working now is breaking the labels "tif" and "tmu". If anyone would like to work with me and others on several exciting projects, feel free to contact me here on epvp.

Nice find, although we believe this abbreviation has nothing similiar with 4Story.

Tcds are bundled: YES they are
Bundling safes space: YES if it reduces redundancy.
Bundling is a form of compression: NO
Further, each tcd file in itself is not compressed (could be easily done with for example the deflate algorithm).Therefore I highly doubt that the C in TCD stands for compression

tbh. it's
"T-Project Chart Data Files"
