[Solved] To maximize compatibility, can I use _ or - in folder or filenames?

[henvu50]

I want my Ren'py project to be compatible with almost everything imaginable: Mobile phone, Desktop PC, linux, mac, etc.

Is there a list or guide that tells you do's and don'ts?

For example, can I use folder and filenames like this?

folder_img01
folder_img02
folder-img03
folder-img04
folder hello weird folder with spaces in it constantly and super long

You can name your folders whatever you want as long as you use ascii characters

[zmook]

Any of these characters in filenames will cause you pain sooner or later:

Code: Select all

/ * " | \ [ ] : ; , < > + = 
 (and maybe) ! ? @

Underscore `_` and hyphen `-` should both be fine.

the completist documentation is here, for if you want your game to run on Amiga or Commodore 64:

The only restriction is that filenames beginning with _ are reserved for Ren'Py. (Putting _ in the middle is fine.)
