# How to play Custom Rabi-Ribi Maps There are two methods. ### Method 1: Version 1.8e The [1.8e beta version](https://steamcommunity.com/app/400910/discussions/0/1473095965300641483/) includes special features specifically to support Rabi-Ribi custom maps. 1. Add the map files to `Rabi-Ribi\custom\`. (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 This was the original method before the 1.8e beta started supprting custom maps. 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 The 1.8e beta version of Rabi-Ribi 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\\`) 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 The 1.8e beta version of Rabi-Ribi includes the ability to replace the current tileset with a custom tileset. If `tile1_a.png` is placed in the `Rabi-Ribi\custom\\` folder, the game will use that instead of the default tileset. # Debug Mode The 1.8e beta version of Rabi-Ribi contains a Debug mode, which displays all event triggers in-game. To turn this on, add `-debugshowevents` to the launch options.
