Ink File Structure

NarrativeCraft organizes its story logic into three main Ink files:

• main.ink
  This is the central file that contains all INCLUDE directives for chapters and scenes.
  It is automatically managed by NarrativeCraft and should not be edited manually.
  Any manual modifications will be overwritten when new scenes or chapters are added.

• vars.ink
  This file is dedicated to the definition of global variables.
  Variables declared here are accessible across all chapters and scenes.

• funcs.ink
  This file is reserved for global function definitions.
  Functions written here can be reused throughout the entire narrative.

File Locations

All Ink files are stored within the save directory of your world:

/saves/<your_world>/narrativecraft/

Usage Notes

• main.ink acts as the entry point, including all chapters and scenes automatically.
• vars.ink and funcs.ink provide shared resources for the narrative system.
• Scene-specific .ink files should only contain their respective content, while shared logic remains in vars.ink and funcs.ink.

Important

Do not edit main.ink manually. Knot names and includes are handled by the game.
Always manage chapters, scenes, and their names directly in-game.
