Resource reference: 47 data/resource scripts
These are the current scripts under addons/dreamcatcher/resources/. Most extend Resource; DreamMapEvent extends Node2D and should be explained as a map-event object/data-runtime bridge rather than as a plain data resource.
What resources are: Godot resources are saved data objects. Dreamcatcher uses resources for editable game data such as actors, enemies, items, skills, quests, dialogue, maps, generated assets, loot, and genre-specific configuration. Resources are usually safer than hardcoding because tools, validators, and scenes can all point to the same data file.
Resource family map
| Resource family | What it represents | Usually edited with | Common warning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Actors, combat, and RPG data | Actors, classes, enemies, weapons, armor, skills, states, troops, perks. | Database, combat tutorials, Action RPG workflows, generated database resources. | A scene references an actor/enemy/skill that was renamed, moved, or deleted. |
| Inventory and economy | Items, shops, loot tables, recipes, rewards, costs, drops. | Database, Generated Asset Browser, shop/loot tutorials. | Reward, chest, shop, or loot event points to missing item data. |
| Narrative and quests | Dialogue, chapters, quests, choices, progress state. | Narrative Weaver, Visual Logic, Map Editor events. | NPC dialogue opens but choice/quest state does not update. |
| Generated asset metadata | Generated asset records, previews, reports, presets, dependencies. | Procedural Toolkit and Generated Asset Browser. | Asset file exists but its registry/metadata entry is missing or points to an old path. |
| Map, region, and tileset data | Tileset layout, map event pages, conditions, region behavior. | Map Editor, Scene Composer, map validation. | Map event, region, collision, music, or weather rule is present in the editor but not triggered in play. |
| Genre-specific resources | Cards, decks, race configs, sports configs, puzzle data, rhythm charts, tower waves, runner/farm/horror settings. | Genre starter workflows and specialized tool/reference pages. | Genre scene opens but the expected data resource is not assigned. |
Safe file rule: keep project-owned game data under your project folders such as res://dream/. Avoid editing or saving your own content inside res://addons/dreamcatcher/.
