== Setting Up The Modding Environment ==
 
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>
This is commonly referred to as the game's directory or root folder. '''(REMEMBER THIS!)'''
 
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.
<templatestyles src="Pixl/frontpage.css"/>
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.
