Playing with Undertale: How to access and customize the game files



First, you need to find your Undertale save folder. This is usually C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/UNDERTALE, but it might be different for you, who knows. It should contain at least a file called undertale.ini and a file called file0, unless you haven't saved your game yet, or the save was deleted.


If you erased your world, you should see a file called system_information_962. If you sold your soul, you should also see a file called system_information_963. Just delete these files using your file manager. If you are using the Steam version of the game, these files might be backed up and restored by the game on startup. In that case, you should delete the Steam data for UNDERTALE in addition to the system_ files. You can do this in multiple ways:




how to get into undertale game files



This room can only be accessed when the game's fun value (which can be changed by editing file0 and undertale.ini) is set to 66. In this scenario, Room 268 (room_water_fakehallway), a hallway with a 10% chance to contain a gray door, appears between Room 94 (room_water_savepoint1) and Room 95 (room_water11). These are the SAVE Point near the crystallized cheese and Sans's telescope rooms, respectively. The door in the aforementioned hallway leads to Room 269.


Inside the game's files are strings of text that implicate a stable was planned to be put into the game. There would be a trash can where a key can be found; if the key is brought to the horse stable, the same figure from Room 272 appears and says "* x" in Wingdings.


In Room 264 (room_gaster), the text below is displayed in uppercase Wingdings. While it appears to be the missing seventeenth lab entry from the True Lab, this could be a red herring, as there was an alternate seventeenth entry in the game's files prior to version 1.001-4, which added Japanese localization. The alternate entry is heavily implied to have been written by Alphys, as it mirrors her entry format, writing style, and correlates with her Determination experiments.[4] Both entries are inaccessible in normal gameplay; Alphys's entry can only be found in the game's text files, and Gaster's entry is only accessible through SAVE manipulation or debug mode. Room 264 immediately follows the generator room in the True Lab.


Once the message ends, the screen turns black for a second before the game closes. The audio that plays during the entry is labeled as "mus_smile" in the game files. This file can be sped up by 1000% to reveal Muffet's laugh, reversed, and then looped over.[5] An excerpt from Entry Number Seventeen was also available at deltarune.com/him.png from 2015.


SAVEThe SAVE menuMechanic typeGameplay MechanicIn Undertale, SAVE is the in-universe name given to save files and the ability to overwrite them. There is one SAVE slot in the game (one per user in the console versions), which can be overwritten by interacting with SAVE Points or by autosaving. In the dialogue, "SAVE" is noticeably written in capital letters, and it can be conjugated.


If the Genocide Route is completed, the First Human destroys the world. They then offer the player to recreate the world in exchange for their SOUL. Other than manipulation of the files using a file editor, this is the only way to reset the game. However, accepting this offer also activates a permanent flag in the game's files which affects all subsequent True Pacifist and Genocide endings.


The SAVE files, in-universe, are created by the characters that can SAVE. There are three SAVE files in the game files (located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\UNDERTALE on Windows, /.config/UNDERTALE on Linux and /Library/Application Support/com.tobyfox.undertale/ on macOS):


And here are the instructions to install the game via PortMaster. Bottom line: once you have the PortMaster files installed for Undertale, move the Linux game files into the ports/undertale/assets folder.


In the Windows 1.00 version, data.win can be extracted from UNDERTALE.exe with any decent archiving tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR. It's actually a self-extracting .cab containing all the game's resources along with the real executable, which can be run normally from wherever you extract the files to. game.ios can be found in the OS X version by browsing into the Undertale application using "Show Package Contents".


The reflections of yourself in the puddles in Waterfall are replaced with a sprite of an unknown character when Space is pressed. According to the game's files, the character seems to be Chara, but they also look like Kris from Deltarune. The related variable in the code that controls showing this alternate reflection is called death, which may indicate that this was once used after you sold Chara your soul.


I noticed people who play Undertale can use things like file0 and undertale.ini to find gaster followers and secret rooms, and things like that. I don't know how to find those files on switch, or if there even is a way to do that. If there was a way to somehow find and edit the files on Switch, how could I do that?


According to those who have (somehow) already tried to uninstall the files for Deltarune, the uninstaller deleted anything else that was tucked in the same folder as the game files. So if you kept the game's uninstaller contained in a separate game folder (the recommended installation process), you should be fine: but if you popped it elsewhere, you might lose that entire folder - along with all the files it contained. Yikes.


Meanwhile, it increasingly looks like Deltarune is an entire game in itself, rather than a teaser as previously thought. If you haven't tried it yet, you can find the files here - just make sure to watch where you install them.


After clicking the download link, players are asked to "accept everything that will happen from now on" before installing the files, initially called a "survey program". Very ominous, and very Undertale. The familiarity doesn't stop there, as the files lead to a character creator and game of some description. Without giving anything away, the game whisks you to the surface of Undertale's world in a setting that seemingly takes place after the events of the original game. Or perhaps it even takes place before? It's still not clear.


2. Uninstall Undertale for your Steam library and reinstall it. Then just drag and drop all the contents of the mod into Undertale's game folder and apply the patch. None of this will affect your game's save files. And try using the UNDERTALE.exe inside Undertale's game folder again.


No need to worry this is a common issue. And it's super easy to fix! First what your going to have to do is go into your Steam's game library right-click UNDERTALE and unstill it from your PC. This will not erase your saves and then reinstall it. At this point, you sure make sure you're using the most up to date version of the game (v1.08). After that just drag and drop the contents of the mod once again into Undertale's game folder double click "Apply_Mod." This should fix the issue. And if not let me know! Because I have a backup plan.


Before I show you how to unlock the true potential of Undertale with Debug Mode, and help you with sprites and with beating tough bosses, let me put out the warning Toby left first. Toby included two warnings in the game files.


The character W.D. Gaster is a mysterious figure whose origins are never mentioned unless the game files are manually modified to re-implement various NPCs. Although Gaster is commonly associated with the form of a deformed figure with two marks in his face, this is not confirmed to be him, as the sprite in question is named "mysteryman" in the game files. However the NPCs that must be manually reimplemented into the game are named "g_follower" 1, 2 and 3 respectively, as they all speak of Gaster, albeit almost vaguely.


When starting or performing a "True Reset" in Undertale, you are given the freedom to name "The Fallen Human", suggesting you are naming the human you control throughout the game. You are instead naming the first human to fall into the Underground, commonly known as "Chara", which is the same human that is seen falling into the Underground during the opening cutscene. The human you control is actually named Frisk, the eighth human to have fallen into the Underground, and depending on how you play the game, they either remain as Frisk or become more like the Fallen Human, a.k.a you, the player.


Track 72 of Undertale's OST, "The Song That Might Play When You. Fight Sans", was composed solely to mislead fans. The track itself isn't even included in the game files, and the song that does play when you fight Sans in a "Genocide" playthrogh is Megalovania, Track 100 of the OST.


The first major boss you meet in the game, Toriel, shows up only during the first stage, and nowhere else until later on. The first stage however is where you learn the basic game mechanics that will come into play in future parts of Undertale, also known as the tutorial, which is where Toriel's name is derived from.


Undertale is a roleplaying game that puts you in the shoes of a child who falls into a pit of monsters. But unlike others in its genre, in Undertale you can fight those monsters, or resolve the encounters peacefully. Toby Fox, Undertale's lead developer, released it for Microsoft Windows and OS X in 2015. Since then, it's been published in Japan and ported to several different consoles.


Rebekah Valentine is one of the many game writers who spoke up about her love of Undertale during that orchestral performance. "I mean, of course, yes. It'd be easy to go into something about being kind to others or what love means," she says. "But I've actually been thinking of a line from the ending of that game lately."


Once you've teleported in this place, Everything is just empty space with a galaxy night background and playing a background music "mus_star" that is unused from Undertale, hidden inside the game files.


Undertale has a ton of content that's kept fans digging through the indie RPG over the last five years. Part of what has made the game such a beloved classic is the level of detail that went into its dialogue, characters and environments, including which includes Easter eggs that are enjoyable to find. Few mysteries in recent games have been quite as enigmatic as the dark one surrounding W. D. Gaster. 2ff7e9595c
