XSYSTEM35.GR(5)

💖 XSYSTEM35.GR(5) — the game resource file, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is section 5 of the xsystem35 manual, and it's all about the xsystem35.gr file. she's not scary, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xsystem35.gr — the game resource file for xsystem35 🌸

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so bestie, the game resource file is a plain text file that tells xsystem35 where all your various game data files are chilling. that's literally her whole job. 💅

you only need this file if you wanna put your game data files somewhere other than the current directory. if everything's already sitting in the current directory, she's not needed, no cap.

the path to the game resource file gets specified with the -gamefile option of xsystem35(6). and if you don't specify it? xsystem35 just reads xsystem35.gr in the current directory, easy. ✨

every line of the file describes one single data file, and the format is:

keyword path-to-data

and the way that multiple files of the same type can exist?? suffixes A, B, C... get appended to the keyword. so like, ScenarioA, ScenarioB, etc. iconic. 👑

wanna drop a comment? start the line with #. blank lines? completely ignored, they're giving nothing and we love that for them. 🙈

⚠️ NOTES ⚠️

okay this part matters, so listen up:

data files that don't fall under any of the keywords above (like, for example, map files for Kaeru nyo Panyon) should not be listed in the game resource file. instead, put them in the same directory as the save files. periodt. 💅
