ronalds' guide to using your toribash directory to maximum effect
I've seen a lot of tutorials related to doing things in your toribash directory, so i though i would explain what each thing in your toribash directoy does, and explain how you can customise it to change your game experience.

Locating your toribash folder

The first thing you will need to do is to locate your toribash folder. You will find this folder in the location where you chose to install toribash when you installed it. For me to find my toribash folder, i take the following route on my pc:
C:\Games\Toribash-3.31

Inside the toribash directory

Once inside the directory you will see a bunch of icons that looks something like the following:

As you can see, there will be a mixture of icons and folers, i shall explain what each of them does:

- These three icons are all shortcuts to open toribash. The oen calles Toribash_Wide opens the widescreen version of toribash


I don't actually know how to use these icons, they are soemthing to do with how the game works, and they shouldnt be medelled with, because they could ruin your toribash.


Each of these icons can be opened in notepad, seeing as though there are quite a lot of them, i will explain each one individually:
tb_run: This contains the information logged by the game the last time you opened it, it contains the time and date of teh last time you ran toribash and states if any updates were made to the game.
README: The readme file gives breif instructions on how to play the game to get you started, when you install the game, this will automatically open up if you check the box that asks you if you would like to read the readme.
FAQ: This has answers some frequently asked questions.
file_updates: When you open this up in notepad, you will see that it logs all the files the games has downloaded from updates it has received.
manual: This is the instructional manual for everything to do with toribash in game, it has advice and tips, so is worth a read.
autoupdate: The autoupdate file lists any updates which occured the lest time you opened toribash.
servers: The servers file contains informations on all the servers, it contains their ip, their number and their name, to add any other servers to show up on the game, you will need to add them onto the list inside this file.
stderr: This is the error file, and it is created if soemthing went wrong with your game and it lists the details about what went wrong, its also know as an error report.
ver_updates:This is another file which lists updates of toribash, you dont really need to use it.
tb_login: If you made toribash save your login detail, this file is created which contains your username and password.


This is the uninstall icon, double click on it to begin uninstallign toribash.

Folders

Inside your toribash directory are other folders, each contains more files and folders, some of which can be changed or added to to modify toribash.

Autosave

The data folder contains various other folders, when you go into the data folder you will see soemthign like this:

As you can see, there are various thing sto explain:

Buddies: This file lists all the buddies you have added, so the game uses this file when counting the amount of buddies you have in each server by matching the names in the file to the names in the servers.

As well as the buddy list information, the data fodler contains 8 more folders:
