What is an RVDATA file?

An RVDATA file is a game data file used by RPG Maker VX (RPGVX), a software development tool for creating role-playing games. It stores various types of game data, such as maps, items, characters, enemies, skills, and other resources used by an RPG Maker VX project. RPG Maker VX uses multiple RVDATA files to organize a game's data.

More Information

RVDATA files are typically stored in the /​Data/​ directory within an RPG Maker VX project. Each file contains a specific type of game data that RPG Maker VX loads when working with the project. When developers prepare a game for distribution, RPG Maker VX can encrypt the project's data files, producing files such as .RGSS2A files, to help prevent users from easily accessing or modifying the original game resources.

Developers encounter RVDATA files when creating and editing games with RPG Maker VX. RPG Maker VX normally manages these files rather than opening them individually. Although RPG Maker VX has since been succeeded by newer versions such as RPG Maker VX Ace, RVDATA files remain associated with projects created with the original RPG Maker VX.

How to open an RVDATA file

You can open RVDATA files with RPG Maker VX. RPG Maker VX typically loads these files automatically when you open the corresponding project, rather than requiring you to open individual RVDATA files.

Savegame.org RPG Maker Save Editor can also open RVDATA files. Keep in mind that incorrectly modifying the contents of the files outside RPG Maker VX Ace could corrupt the file or make its data unusable.
