=== Yaz0 ===

Many files in the game are compressed with the [[Yaz0]] format. Compressed files generally have the letter <code>s</code> prefixed to their file extension. Use {{ltool|wszst}} to compress or decompress these files.

{{tool section|rec_tool=wszst}}

=== AAMP ===

[[AAMP]] is used for configuration files, such as [[actor parameters]], the [[normal.bwinfo|world configuration (climate, lighting, ...)]], etc. Convert them to an editable format (and back) with {{ltool|aamp}}.

{{tool section|rec_tool=aamp}}

Unlike most other files, AAMP files are exactly the same on both Wii U and Switch.

=== BYML ===

[[BYML]] files contain game parameters for [[actor]]s, [[map unit]]s, etc. Convert them to an editable format (and back) with {{ltool|byml-v2}}.

{{tool section|rec_tool=byml-v2}}

=== BFRES ===

[[BFRES]] files contain the game's animations, models and textures. Tutorials on how to edit these for Wii U can be found in [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Z1_A3w0VvPHp22H_Yh_dSdzI5hr4OAv9 Fooni's Tutorials].

=== BFEVFL ===

[[BFEVFL]] is used for in-game events (which includes things like talking to people and also full-blown cutscenes).

{{tool section|rec_tool=EventEditor}}

=== RSTB ===

[[ResourceSizeTable.product.rsizetable]] (known as the RSTB) contains sizes for almost every file in the game (calculated from the non-Yaz0-compressed file sizes). If you edit a file to make its filesize bigger, you'll need to edit this file to prevent errors. The recommended tool for manipulating the RSTB is {{ltool|rstb}}.

{{tool section|rec_tool=rstb}}

=== SARC ===

[[SARC]] archives contain collections of other files and folders, like .zip folders.

{{tool section|rec_tool=sarc}}

=== Map units ===

[[Map unit]]s can be edited directly by modifying the map unit [[BYML]]s or with a graphical tool such as Ice-Spear.
