What is an FXL file?
FXL files mostly belong to FaceFX by OC3. The FXL format is commonly associated with scripts written in FaceFX Language File format. This kind of FXL file is created using FaceFX, a software application for creating 3D facial expressions for 3D characters in video games or animations. The FXL file contains settings for these animations. It also comprises face graphs, reusable functions, as well as commands that execute the animation. In addition, CryENGINE software development kit uses FXL files as libraries for storing a broad range of facial expressions of 3D game character models defined in CHR files. Expressions defined in the FXL file can include anger, smiles, happiness and much more. A CryENGINE project defines a different FXL file for each character and uses the CHARPARAMS file to define what file to load for each character.
