What file(s) hold the database data?

Does anyone know? It's probably the RPG_RT.ldb or the RPG_RT.lmt, or both, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew for sure.

I think its the .lbd but im not possitive. Make a new project. copy that file from an old game, paste it into the new project, and see if your database transfers over to the new project, if it did, then thats the database file.

Yeah, good idea. I'm asking because I'm interested in working on a game long-distance with a friend, and we could fairly easily split the project into him on database and myself on actual programming. So, thanks for the reply.

Edit: And, by the way, your CBS still looks awesome. ;)

Thanks :)

Anyway, I work on my project from a lot of computers, and mainly when i work on it from other computers, I just work on the database files cuz thats where my cbs is programmed. What I always did was I just copied all three rtp_rt files (except the .exe one). So you could always just send all three of them back and forth and I don't think it'll make too much of a differance.

The only problem i see with the way your doing it, is that most of the database will have to be done before you can work on the other parts of the game. For example, you can't make a battle without the monster you need, you can't give the hero without the item in the database, you can't even have the hero without him in the database, and you can't map without the chipsets and them programmed into the database. But if you can work it out, thats great.
