==<br /> Description ==

<blockquote>
The main SCI RESOURCE volume contains the individual resource files packed into it. A game might have multiple resource files to play a game that span across several diskettes directly from the diskettes. These files were usually named RESOURCE.000 or for spanned games numbered sequentially *.001, *.002, *.003, etc.

[[Resource MAP File (SCI)|The SCI Resource MAP File]] mapped the location of the packed resources for the game to quickly access a needed resource. Initially The SCI interpreter only looked for its resources from the map. Later versions of SCI allowed the interpreter to look for a needed resource externally before checking the map. This allowed easy patching by simply dropping the new resource (patch) file into the game's base directory. Eventually a "[[patchDir]]" flag was added to the interpreter that allowed the path to such patches to be specified in the game's [[RESOURCE.CFG]].
