- This article covers the layout of the file; for the default contents, see racialtypes.2da (contents).
The racialtypes.2da file is the .2da file that defines which racial types are available in the game.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ID (no actual name) | Row numbers for the benefit of human readers. The game engine ignores the value in this field, instead generating sequential row numbers as the file is read. It is good practice to keep the entries in this field sequentially numbered to avoid confusion. |
| Label | The name of the race for the benefit of human readers. |
| Abrev | The two-letter abbreviation for this race. |
| Name | A StringRef for the name of this race (capitalized). |
