To modify existing run configurations or create new ones, you have to open the Application Preferences through The Menu Bar and go to the Run tab.

There you can see all run configurations. With a double-click you can edit the selected run configuration.

• Name - The name of the run configuration. That name is shown in menus and progress windows.
• Run Phases - The list of run phases executed one after another.

Each run configuration contains a list of phases which are executed one after another.

• Name - The name of the phase. That name is shown in the details section of the progress window.
• Command Line - The command line to execute as a child process of VN Maker. The next phase is triggered after the child process has been terminated. The standard output stream of the child process is redirected to the progress window console.
• Working Directory - The working directory (CWD) for the command line. If empty, the output directory is used.

Each phase executes a command line to process the game data or booting the game in a specific way. A set of variables, starting with a $ sign like "$(NODE)", is available for use in the Command Line as well as in the Working Directory field. See below for all available variables and their values.
