What is a .OGZ file?
An .OGZ file is a special type of computer file used by certain video games. These games are made with something called the Cube 2 game engine. Think of the Cube 2 game engine like a big box of tools that game creators use to build their games. The .OGZ file contains important information for a game's map. A map in a video game is like a playground or a world where the game takes place. This file has details about the shape of the world, where players can start the game, magical spots that can teleport players from one place to another, where items are hidden, and other important game settings. These files can be for playing alone (single-player) or with others (multiplayer).
To open an .OGZ file, you can use a game that is made with the Cube 2 game engine. Some examples of these games include Cube 2: Sauerbraten and Platinum Arts Sandbox. When you play these games, they know how to read the .OGZ file and create the game world for you to explore.
More about .OGZ files: They are saved in a way that makes them smaller, which is good because it means they don't take up much space on your computer. Usually, these files are called map.ogz and they live in a special folder that is part of the game's files. Alongside the .OGZ file, there are a few other files that help tell the game all it needs to know about the map. .OGZ files are a bit like cousins to .MPZ and .BGZ files, which are used by other games that also use the Cube 2 game engine. If you're feeling creative and want to make your own .OGZ file, there's a tool on the internet called OGZ-Editor. It's free and works in your web browser, letting you design your own game maps. You can find it by searching for OGZ-Editor online.
