Initialization File

File Extension: .ini

The Initialization File format is an informal standard for storing application configurations. These files are normally only loaded once when an application is starting up. The configuration format is a section followed by multiple property=value.

Tooling

• A standard text editor can create and edit initialization files.

INI Fragments

Any Data File can override values in the games base INIs by including a new INI of the same name.
