BIN textdata

BIN textdata is an encrypted, name-indexed BIN archive (paired textdatah.bin / textdata.bin) holding almost all of the game's plain-text data: item/NPC/monster stats, UI strings, quick-chat phrases, lore, and the world/map/time-scheduling tables. Nearly every file is CP949-encoded (Korean); most use a Korean~English tilde-delimited pair per line, with /e (end-of-string) and /n (forced newline) inline markers in the longer caption files. It is the largest and most varied of the BIN archives — this page groups its files by purpose; each filename links to a page with a closer technical breakdown.

Item / NPC / monster records — NN.dat

The numbered textdata/NN.dat files are the game's object definitions — weapons, armor, and every other item, plus NPCs and monsters. Despite the .dat extension they're plain text: line 1 is the record count, then each record is 3 lines (Korean name, English name, a space-separated stat line). There are 14 record types, each with its own fixed stat-line column count:

Type	Category	.dat files	Stat columns	Notes
0	Weapons (katana/sword/axe/spear/bow/bowgun)	16–22, 62, 63	44	6 equip stats + weapon params + ~14 sprite/animation ids for the swing/effect frames
1	Armor	23–31, 61	16	6 equip stats + sprite/variant
2	Rings	8, 32	14	6 equip stats only
3	Emblems	9, 33	8	header only (no stats/price)
4	Medicine / food	10, 11, 34	10–11	header + recovery amount + effect-name string
5	Money	15	8	header only (it is currency)
6	Scrolls	38–43	33	header + skill/effect params
7	Books	44–47	8	header only
8	Misc items (ore / monster-item / letter)	35–37, 48, 49	8	header only
9	Monsters	64–69, 73, 78, 79	32	HP/stat/AI/drop block (server-side)
0xA	Monsters (special)	70	36	extended monster block
0xB	NPCs (field/party)	5, 74, 75	8	header + reference fields, no shop
0xC	NPC shopkeepers (incl. Au)	77	22	header + shop-type code + 14 per-category "sells this" flags
0xD	Monsters	89–92	~3	sparse / mostly empty

Every record starts with the same header: dat file number, record index, then (for items) sub-type/grade, an item-level/sort key, an icon bitmap index, and buy/sell price. Equippable items (weapon/armor/ring) then carry a confirmed, fixed 6-stat block — OFC (offense), DEF, AGL, LUCK, LIFE, FOOD — used both for the item-detail panel and (server-side) as the equip bonuses applied to a wearer's totals. See textdata NN.dat for the full field-by-field breakdown.

Each NN.dat that has flavor text has a matching cptNN.txt — a Korean~English description file with the same /e//n markers, paired by file number (line index = record index). Not every .dat has one (e.g. 9, 15, 22, 31–33, 38–43, 61–63, 76 are data-only).

Item category / naming tables

File	Contents
cptnamecategory.txt	Category-ID → name (Korean~English), e.g. 8=Ring, 16=Katana, 17=Sword, 23–30=the armor lines
cptcategory.txt	Per-slot category descriptions / grade text

UI message strings — cpt_*_msg.txt

Per-panel localized UI labels (Korean~English), loaded straight into that panel's widget setup.

Files	Panel / use
cpt_title_msg.txt, Cpt_titleerror_msg.txt	Title screen + login/title errors
cpt_charmake_msg.txt	Character creation
cpt_buttons_msg.txt, cpt_gauge_msg.txt	Generic buttons / gauges
cpt_msgbox_msg.txt, cpt_sysbox_msg.txt, cpt_sysbox_money_msg.txt, cpt_sysbox_newid_msg.txt	Message / system / money / new-ID dialogs
cpt_panel_status_msg.txt, cpt_panel_option_msg.txt, cpt_panel_chat_msg.txt, cpt_panel_catalog_msg.txt, cpt_panel_ranking_msg.txt, cpt_panel_mission_msg.txt, cpt_panel_map_msg.txt	Status / Option / Chat / Catalog / Ranking / Mission / Map panels
cpt_npcbox_taiwa_msg.txt, cpt_npcbox_captalk_msg.txt, cpt_npcbox_group_msg.txt, cpt_npcbox_profile_msg.txt, cpt_npcbox_shop_msg.txt	NPC dialog box: talk / captalk / group / profile / shop
cpt_esepanel_rankingb_msg.txt, cpt_esepanel_record_msg.txt	"Ese" panel ranking / record sub-views

Quick-chat & talk phrases

File	Contents
captalk01.txt–captalk04.txt	Canned quick-chat phrases ("Hello", "Help!", "Let's move together"), loaded together by the NPC captalk panel
misccaption_b.txt	Misc captions (variant b)
misccaption_u.txt	Misc captions (variant u) — line 1/2 are the item-stat panel's column headers (LIFE FOOD OFC DEF AGL LUCK / SPEC)

System / event / history

File	Contents
event.txt	The largest textdata file. A time-scheduled world-event table: 16-column CSV rows scheduling a scripted action (state change / sound / lighting+transition) on a world object, map-area node, or zone at a specific in-game calendar time. Client-side self-dispatch of this table is permanently disabled in this build — it's meant to be driven by the server, which should walk the schedule and emit 0xC062 effect packets at the scheduled ticks.
sysmsg.txt	System messages (Korean~English) with [#param] placeholders. Not referenced anywhere in rg.exe — legacy/unused; live system text instead comes from the cpt_*_msg.txt files, system/system%02d.txt, and SeData "menu msg" entries
cpt_history.txt	History / lore / credits text

World / map / scenery

File	Contents
panelmapno_world.txt	World-map panel region numbering. Not referenced anywhere in rg.exe — the runtime map/world data instead comes from the binary world.ftpg/world.slk/world.wlist in the mapdata archive. Treat as an editor/legacy asset
landscape.dat	ASCII manifest of landscape-backdrop codes (3<region><LOD:03d>, e.g. 3a000), one per (region, LOD) pair that has a distinct backdrop; looked up while loading a field area, walking the LOD down to the nearest match
enkeifile.txt	World zone geometry — 256 zones, each a name plus up to 30 circles (center X/Z + radius); a point is "in" a zone if it falls inside any of its circles. Despite the name ("distant view"), this is zone/area definition data, not scenery placement

Entity & location lookup tables

File	Contents
inaba.dat	Entity appearance/pattern lookup — 652 rows of four indices + a short pattern-set name (e.g. Pf01_01). Given an appearance key from an entity's NN.dat data, this resolves which sprite-pattern set (and thus pattern/seqence archive entries) that entity uses
iwahara.dat	Location-name table — roughly 3,474 Korean~English place names, indexed the same way as the world.slk area list. Used to show a readable place name for map/location-referencing items

Time-windowed world tables

Six structurally-related tables attach time-windowed properties (BGM, sound effects, visual effects, "erase" flags) to a map area (a zone or a world.wlist node). All six are queried the same way — "is there an entry active for this area at the current in-game time?" — and differ only in which per-area channel and value they carry.

File	Columns	Value carried	Notes
bgmtable.txt	14	BGM track id + track name	per-area background music
setable.txt	10	sound-effect id	rows use from == to — a point-in-time SE trigger
erasetable.txt	13	4 bool flags (what to hide/remove)	the query itself is just a presence test
effecttable.txt	10	per-area "effect 2" channel value
tenkoutable.txt	10	per-area "effect 0" channel value	values 1–10 become the area's pending interaction/event id
tensoutable.txt	10	per-area "effect 1" channel value

The 10-column form is [fromWeek, fromDay, fromHour, fromMinute, target, value, toWeek, toDay, toHour, toMinute] (99 = wildcard/"any"); bgmtable/erasetable pad this with a few extra trailing columns for their track name / flags.

File	Contents
naikanBGM.txt	Flat array, one integer per line (one per world.wlist area) — each area's baseline interior-ambiance/BGM index
rankingitem.txt	13 weeks × 9 slots of weekly ranking-shop reward items (reward dat file + entry index per row); ranking NPCs map to a slot via a hardcoded subtype table

Manifest & version (packer-only)

File	Contents
textlist.dat	Packer manifest: line 1 = file count (158), then one filename per line, in archive order. Used only by the build tool that packs this folder into textdata.bin/textdatah.bin — not read at runtime (though the archive does store this same list as entry 0 inside the packed .bin, for in-game name lookups)
textdata.ver	Version stamp (VER.text010329_01, date-coded 2001-03-29). Packer metadata only, no reference in rg.exe
