Note: Always place CSV data for databases outside the project directory.
Godot’s system automatically loads CSV files inside the project as translation data, which can prevent proper import.

Target Databases

  • User Database
  • Type Preset Database

CSV Data Format for the User Database

Header record_name numeric//column_name string//column_name image//column_name typepreset/attribute_type/column_name vector2//column_name
Data record1 123 hogehoge res://xxxxx.png/ Fire Attribute 100_200

First Row of the CSV Data

The first row of the CSV file must contain the header information.
Each header should follow the format below:

  • record_name
    • This is the fixed name used as the record name header.
  • numeric//column_name
    • Indicates a numeric data column.
    • column_name should be a custom column name using only alphanumeric characters.
  • string//column_name
    • Indicates a string data column.
    • column_name should be a custom column name using only alphanumeric characters.
  • image//column_name
    • Indicates a column for image path data.
    • column_name should be a custom column name using only alphanumeric characters.
  • typepreset/attribute_type/column_name
    • Indicates a reference to a type preset.
    • attribute_type can be one of the two fixed names or a custom user-defined name:
      • For attribute type preset: attribute_type
      • For equipment type preset: equipment_type
      • For user-defined types: specify a name using only alphanumeric characters
    • column_name should be a custom column name using only alphanumeric characters.
  • vector2//column_name
    • Indicates a Vector2 type data column.
    • column_name should be a custom column name using only alphanumeric characters.

From the Second Row Onward

From the second row onward, each row represents actual data.
Make sure the values align with the header definitions.

Header Data Format
record_name Any record name using only alphanumeric characters
numeric Numeric values only (-2147483648 to 2147483647)
string Any string
image A string starting with res://
typepreset A string registered in the type preset database ※1
vector2 Numbers joined by _ (e.g., for x=128, y=256 use 128_256)
※1

If the value does not exist in the type preset database,
a new entry will be added to the relevant type preset database.
