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.

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.

Customisation and Shopping data

carmods.dat

This section is incomplete. You can help by fixing and expanding it.

clothes.dat

This section is incomplete. You can help by fixing and expanding it.

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 originaly contains information about furniture which was planned to be another posibillity to customize the game in San Andreas. However this file is the only leftover of this feature in the game. There are no opcodes or interiors (Like there are for Rusty Rounds Ringed Donuts). It is unconfirmed if the file is realy parsed on startup, either.

shopping.dat
