New page

Hhmm... I would leave out nodes from here, since they are no explicit data files. I would interprate them as a seperate field of modding. Data files in my oppinion are files which define behaviours and additional gameplay information related to the script, and so on. Paths are a bit too complex to be data files, since they are more mapping-related. (However San Andreas is the only game with the extension .dat. SA's ancestors used the IPL format and IV uses .nod to difference the files from explicit data content) --[[User:Aschratt|Aschratt]] 16:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

	What should we do about useless files like animviewer.dat and map*.dat? Should we still document those, have them redirect to this page, or something else?--[[User:Spaceeinstein\|Spaceeinstein]] ([[User talk:Spaceeinstein\|talk]]) 05:32, 13 June 2015 (UTC)		What should we do about useless files like animviewer.dat and map*.dat?

	:If they are unused it's not a top-high priority to make an individual article on them, a redirect on the DAT article and a short note in the table should work until we find time to write something more. Animviewer.dat closely mimics the gta3.dat structure, I guess they used it for debugging purposes (testing animation in game with minumum environment to be load?), so probably a reference to the gta3.dat also helps to one who is curious of the details of what this file is.
