They look like binary files; Linguist only covers source (text-based) files and those extensions don't seem to be in use
From what languages.yml looks to be, it's a simple structure that detects file extensions.
It detects languages, not file extensions. If any of these are written in an actual language they can be added but if they are binary files (i.e. if you open one it's gibberish) they arent covered by this.
Linguist would never get to reading the languages.yml
file thanks to this very early guard:
https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/757b173b34db14bc23c7b53a15252628add4f815/lib/linguist.rb#L22
So even if we added binary extensions, repos would never show a language for them rendering most (all?) of the implantation PR useless.
Describe the enhancement
RPG Maker MV (technically MZ as well) should be added to the list.
I know it's not that big of a platform, but I think it would be nice. I would add it just as
RPG Maker
with the type beingdata
. In the lineup, it would place directly after Ruby.Supported filetypes exclusive to RPG Maker MV/MZ are:
For adding the RPG Maker tool series as a whole, and not under specific versions, include filetypes like:
It would be helpful for identifying projects rather than using OTHER as in the linguist section.
