| == Game File Types ==
| | Original References Guide page |
| NMS mostly uses the .mbin file format to store data. See the [[NMS:Tutorials/Mod_Creation_by_Hex Editing_MBINs|MBIN hex-editing tutorial]] for an introduction to the game files. Each MBIN game file has a template name prefixed a 2-character template class (eg. Tk or Gc), and each template has a lookup file in the [https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/tree/development/libMBIN/Source/NMS MbinCompiler library]. The structure and content of game files have been researched by the NMS community and given names, which are what appears in the EXML files generated by MbinCompiler.
