This article only describes some of the data files of GTA San Andreas. For the complete list see the DAT article.
Data files are most files contain additional game information, usually used in the script and located in the ...\data\ folder of San Andreas' installation directory. Most of them have a .dat extension.
Contents
Common files and formats
default.dat
The default.dat file is usually located in the ...\data\ directory of the game. It's location cannot be changed without manipulating the game's memory. It uses the same notation as map listing files. All information in this file could also be transformed to the gta.dat file, but the file must not be removed, since the game expects it's existence.
