# How to play Custom Rabi-Ribi Maps
([Alternative guide by NuclearCheese for running Custom Maps](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1170578077))
7 years ago
There are two methods.
7 years ago
### Method 1: Version 1.8e / 1.85
The 1.8e beta version includes special features specifically to support Rabi-Ribi custom maps. This also works from 1.85 onwards.
7 years ago
1. Add the map files to `Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>`. (each custom map should be in its own folder)
2. After starting Rabi-Ribi, press F5 or F6 to open up the [custom maps menu](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27341392/30108930-ee520480-9336-11e7-9a82-bf40ca1ae89e.png). Select the custom map and start a new game.
### Method 2: Replacing maps
7 years ago
This was the original method before the 1.8e beta / 1.85 started supprting custom maps.
7 years ago
1. Replace the maps in `Rabi-Ribi\data\area\` (remember to back up the maps before you do this)
2. Start up Rabi-Ribi and start a new game normally.
Note: Even if you do not back up your maps, you can easily restore your original maps by using the Verify Game Integrity option on steam.
# Modifying Character Dialogue and Cutscenes
7 years ago
Rabi-Ribi (1.8e/1.85 onwards) includes the ability to modify cutscenes and character dialogue for custom maps. By default, the game makes use of the files in `Rabi-Ribi\localize` for its cutscenes. If you create the files `story_emot.rbrb` and `story_text.rbrb` and place them in your custom map folder (`Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>\`) together with your map, these ifles will be used for dialogue/cutscenes instead.

More information on the contents of these files can be found in the [Detailed Documentation](https://github.com/wcko87/rabiribi-map-editing/tree/master/docs/cutscenes).
# Custom Tilesets
7 years ago
Rabi-Ribi (1.8e/1.85 onwards) includes the ability to replace the current tileset with a custom tileset. If `tile1_a.png` is placed in the `Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>\` folder, the game will use that instead of the default tileset.

# Debug Mode
7 years ago
Rabi-Ribi (1.8e/1.85 onwards) contains a Debug mode, which displays all event triggers in-game. To turn this on, add `-debugshowevents` to the launch options.
