Hi. I’m new in defold developing and in game development at all. Reading about bob tool and its commands. Have a couple of questions. What does mean archive (.darc) file? What should it contain and can we influence what’s inside. It’s so little info about it. Also, what’s different between --input and --root. As I understand -root is just about a name of root folder in the build. What is the main purpose of main root name?

The .darc file is our internal format where we pack the game content. It consists of a table of contents, and the resources.
Generally, you don’t need to think much about it, however, there is a way to add custom resources to it, and a way to load these (as a Lua string)
project.custom_resources
sys.load_resource()
Input should be the folder of the game.project.
Build directory is created like so: FilenameUtils.concat(rootDirectory, buildDirectory)
