Party2.dat Guide      -    The DFFBS2 character definition file

    This one is easy, and its not much different from its v1 counterpart..  I'll make this quick.  You use this file to specify your characters name, and designate the data files they use in game.  Formatting is as follows:

Header:

    The total number of characters on the first line, followed by the word "characters". The maximum number of characters supported is 50.  (This can be increased upon request, but i'd rather not do it).

On each line following:    (space/tab delimited)

• The name of the character (suggested max of 8 characters)
• The v2 .chr file you want used to display the character
• The characters level up data file (.dat), which you can create with instadat.exe
• The characters magical element (see below for list)
• Characters hand proficency (see below also)

Values for Element:

1.  Fire
2. Wind
3. Earth
4. Water
5. Light
6. Dark

    The system may support multiple elements in the future.  A zero is used for non-elemental (typical human character)

---

Values for Hand Proficency:

1. Right handed
2. Left handed
3. Both

    This is pretty much self-explanitory.  This attribute effects character effectivemess with certain weapons.  'Both' is a distinct advantage.

    Thats all for now.  I reserve the right to alter the file format in the future, but i shouldn't have to unless a certain features is requeste
