SSFs contain details of the world and the puppets inhabiting it. They list the name of the world file that will load in the Stage as well as default server information. Also, they hold ids, positions, scales, orientations, and vpm files for all the puppets in the scene. Here is an example of a SSF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<scene world="house" nickname="Rossellini" server="rossellini.etc.cmu.edu" port="6000">
<puppet id="0" vpm="wdf.vpm" position="0,196,-128" scale="0.7,0.7,0.7" orientation="0.0,1.0,0.0" />
<puppet id="1" vpm="yellowlight.vpm" position="0,360,-168" scale="1.0,1.0,1.0" orientation="0.0,0.0,0.0" />
<puppet id="2" vpm="yellowlight.vpm" position="0,360,-170" scale="1.0,1.0,1.0" orientation="0.0,0.0,0.0" />
</scene>
