○ “plt” folder

○ “stg”
This folder contains stage files “~.stg2”.

○ “random_name”
This folder contains name list files for randomly generating character names.
Characters with “Randomly determine name” ON will have their names randomly determined from these files.
This file is a plain text file (.txt) and is editable.
When editing, please follow the rules below.

Filename must be “RandomName[number]_*.txt”
[number] is the name list file number starting from 000. It must be 3 digits, and continue in order from the first one: 000, 001, 002…
The ”*” part can be anything. Choose a clear name.
For example, “RandomName000_Youfuu_Male.txt”.
One name per line
Name length up to 12 characters

● “default” folder
Default edit data.
When the editor launches for the first time, this folder is copied as the “data” folder.
Please do not modify it, just in case.

● “data_backup” folder
Backup of the “data” folder.
Backup settings can be changed in “Project” > “Project Options” from the main menu.

● “user_data” folder
Contains game save data and settings data files.
This folder is generated when the editor or game starts for the first time.
Deleting this folder will reset all save data and option settings.
Even if you delete the entire folder, a new “user_data” folder will be automatically created the next time the game starts, so there’s no problem.

“SaveData**.dat” … Game save data. ”**” is the save data number, and you can delete only specific save data by looking at this number.
“Option.dat” … Option settings data.

For image standards, refer to “Image Standards”.

It also contains program file (*.exe) icon images, but changing them will not change the program icon.

It is recommended to put your own files in this folder as well.

For how to register files as assets, refer to Database “BGM”.

● “wave” folder
Sound effects used in the game.
Only PCM wave format is supported; other formats (such as ADPCM) will not play in the game even if they play in the editor.
It is recommended to put your own files in this folder as well.

For how to register files as assets, refer to Database “Sound Effect”.

● “csv” folder
Empty by default, but if you export an Excel-editable CSV file from the database, the file will be saved in this folder.
CSV files can be edited in Excel and loaded into the database. (Always edit with Excel).

For details on CSV files and Excel usage, refer to “Interoperability with Excel”.
