#### Data files

In order to work doukutsu-rs needs to be paired with supported data files. This repository does not contain any data
files.

doukutsu-rs works fine with freeware data files or [NXEngine(-evo)](https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo) or from a
supported copy of [Cave Story+](https://www.nicalis.com/games/cavestory+).

#### Supported game editions and data file acquisition guides

**Freeware**

doukutsu-rs works out of the box when it's placed in the same directory as the original Doukutsu.exe executable. On the initial
startup, doukutsu-rs will automatically extract the additional resources that are embedded in the vanilla game into the `data`
directory. Until that is done, both doukutsu-rs and the vanilla executable have to exist in the directory.

</details>

**Cave Story+**

doukutsu-rs can be used as drop-in replacement for `CaveStory+.exe`. No modifications to game files are needed.

**Original version (first released in 2011 on Steam)** - expand for instructions

<details>
<summary>Steam release (Win/Mac/Linux)</summary>

The `data` folder is in the same place across all platforms.

If you want to use doukutsu-rs as a substitute for Mac version of Cave Story+ (which at moment of writing doesn't work
on 10.15+ anymore), do the following:

1. Find the doukutsu-rs executable:
   - In AppVeyor builds, it's in `doukutsu-rs.app/Contents/MacOS/doukutsu-rs`
   - In your own builds, it's in `target/(release|debug)/doukutsu-rs`
2. Open Steam Library, select `Cave Story+`, press the `Manage` button (gear icon) and select `Properties...`
3. Select `Local Files` and press `Browse...`.
4. Open the `Cave Story+.app` bundle and navigate to `Contents/MacOS` directory.
5. Rename the `Cave Story+` executable to something else or delete it.
6. Copy the doukutsu-rs executable and rename it to `Cave Story+`.
7. Launch the game from Steam and enjoy!
