Welcome to the '''French Bread Modding Wiki'''! This wiki is meant to provide a comprehensive documentation of the engine used in modern French Bread games, as well as basic examples and tutorials.


Games covered include '''UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II: Sys:Celes''', '''UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late [cl-r]''', and '''MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA'''. Some minor information about '''Blazblue Cross Tag Battle''' and '''Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition''' is included too!

== Setting Up The Modding Environment ==
<templatestyles src="Pixl/frontpage.css"/>
 
<div style="position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; z-index:-1;display:flex; width:100%;">
Game files are located in a place like <code>...SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/UNDER NIGHT In-Birth Exe Late[st]</code>, or <code>...SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/MELTY BLOOD TYPE LUMINA</code>
[[File:PIXL bg001.png|10000px|class=image|link=]]
This is commonly referred to as the game's directory or root folder. '''(REMEMBER THIS!)'''
</div>
 
Follow [https://imgur.com/a/5GQ2JDO this guide] for extracting MBTL files.
 
For UNICLR, simply download UNIST Unpacker, head to the /d folder in the game's directory, place UNIST unpacker there, and drag every file onto the unpacker.exe.Once you're done extracting, the unpacked / out folder's contents can be dragged to the root folder.
Install the injector / _English patch file and now the game's code will read files from the unpacked folders instead of the archives. Editing the new folders will create changes in the game respectively.
