Section
[<ObjectType ID>]
Value
string
When omitted
Context-dependent`TEMPERAT` for TEMPERATE and `SNOW` for SNOW, which keep their original settings; for any other theater, the theater's own name.

Root names three theater files:

  • <Root>.MIX, the theater’s main archive
  • <Root>.PAL, the theater palette
  • <Root>.INI, the theater control file, which lists the theater’s tile sets
rules.ini
[DESERT]
Root=DESERT     ; DESERT.MIX, DESERT.PAL and DESERT.INI

The game reads up to 16 characters of the value and cuts a longer one short.

A theater with no <Root>.PAL still loads in a Release build, which substitutes a placeholder gradient palette. A Debug build stops at an assertion first.

A theater with no <Root>.INI has no tile sets, so give every theater a control file.
