A PBS file contains information for the game. This information is written in raw text and is editable directly, and indeed being readily editable is the purpose of a PBS file. A major part of the [[Compiler]] is to read these files and convert them into game-usable data which is stored in the "Data" folder - the .txt files themselves are not used by the game itself.

PBS files are so-called because they are all stored in the folder "PBS" in the main game folder.

Revision as of 20:57, 19 August 2019

This page lists all the PBS files used in Essentials.

PBS files

A PBS file contains information for the game. This information is written in raw text and is editable directly, and indeed being readily editable is the purpose of a PBS file. A major part of the Compiler is to read these files and convert them into game-usable data which is stored in the "Data" folder - the .txt files themselves are not used by the game itself.

PBS files are so-called because they are all stored in the folder "PBS" in the main game folder.

The following is a list of all the PBS files, and what they do:
