'''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 <code>.dat</code> extension.
 
 
 
==Common files and formats==
 
 
 
=== default.dat ===
 
The <code>default.dat</code> file is usually located in the <code>...\data\</code> directory of the game. It's location cannot be changed without manipulating the game's memory. It uses the same notation as [[gta.dat|map listing]] files. All information in this file could also be transformed to the <code>gta.dat</code> file, but the file must not be removed, since the game expects it's existence.

=== furnitur.dat ===
 
This file is actualy unused and can be left blank, but it must not be deleted, since the game tries to parse it. It originally contains information about furniture which was planned to be used for automatically generating different furniture in interiors. However, this file, and the interior models/collision files are not used by the game engine, and other required files are missing. It is unconfirmed if the file is really parsed on startup, either.
