What is a .KWN file?
A .KWN file is a special type of computer file that acts like a storage box for parts of a video game made by a company called Étranges Libellules. Think of it like a treasure chest that holds everything needed for a particular place in a game, such as Asterix & Obelix XXL. Inside this "chest," you can find all sorts of game treasures like the shapes and looks of characters (models), how they move (animations), what the game world looks like (textures), and the sounds you hear during the game (sounds). These are all packed together in this .KWN file and are used to build and run a specific level or area in the game.
To open a .KWN file and see or change what's inside, you would need a special key. This key is a program called ELB Tools. ELB Tools is designed to work with these files, allowing people who develop games or are interested in how they are made to access and modify the contents of the .KWN file. Without this program, it would be very difficult to see or use the treasures stored inside the .KWN file.
