Game layout
From Witcher Wiki
This article describes the directory structure of The Witcher computer game.
Contents |
[edit] Conventions
When a path starts with a backslash character ('\'), it means that the installation directory has been omitted from the path. For example, assuming that you have installed the game to the C:\Program Files\The Witcher directory, \DATA would mean C:\Program Files\The Witcher\DATA
[edit] Layout
Once you have completed installation, you will have the following directory structure:
[edit] \
The root, containing a few files.
[edit] \DATA
The \DATA directory contains all game data that will be loaded by the game at some point.
[edit] \LAUNCHER
The \LAUNCHER directory contains a collection of PNG images that are used for localization of the launcher.
The launcher itself is \LAUNCHER.EXE).
[edit] \REGISTER
The \REGISTER directory contains a collection of PNG images and DLLs for localization of the registration tool.
The registration tool itself is \REGISTER.EXE.
[edit] \SYSTEM
The \SYSTEM directory contains several things:
- the font cache - MSS (Miles Sound System) DLLs and files - scripts (.LUC and .BFX) - game EXE and DLLs - copy-protection EXE and DLLs
