The baf file extension belongs to BioWare Infinity Engine script files. A BAF file contains text written in the engine's scripting language, with triggers and actions that control game events and character behavior.
BAF files are source files used when creating or modifying Infinity Engine content. The script compiler converts them into BCS files, which are the compiled scripts used by the games.
The format is associated with the Microsoft Windows versions of Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale. It is a legacy format that remains relevant mainly for editing and creating mods for these Infinity Engine games.
A baf file is a plain-text script, so it can be opened and read with a text editor. Infinity Engine modding tools may also provide syntax-aware editing for this format.
The games do not normally open BAF source files directly. To use a script in a game, compile it to the corresponding BCS script format with an Infinity Engine modding tool.
BAF files are not normally converted to another general-purpose format. For use in an Infinity Engine game, the practical operation is to compile the source script to a BCS file with an appropriate Infinity Engine scripting or modding tool.
