A BS file may also be a source code file written in Bussin, an esoteric programming language developed by face-hh. It contains program instructions written with Internet slang-inspired keywords and syntax. BS files are saved as plain text and may define variables, functions, conditions, loops, calculations, and other instructions used to control how a Bussin program runs.
More Information
Bussin is implemented in TypeScript and is designed mainly as an experimental and entertainment-focused programming language for hobbyists, students, programming enthusiasts, and developers interested in unusual language design to build small programs. Its syntax replaces conventional programming terms with informal words and phrases, giving programs a distinctive appearance while still supporting common programming concepts.
The face-hh Bussin software reads and executes the instructions stored in BS files. Users can run a specific file through the project's command-line environment with the npm run bussin
NOTE: The related Bussin X language uses .BSX files and supports additional language features, although Bussin X can also interpret much of the original BS syntax.
How to open a BS file
You can open a BS file with any text or source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text. To run the program, obtain the Bussin project from face-hh’s GitHub repository, install its required Node.js dependencies, and pass the BS file to the Bussin command-line program. Visual Studio Code users can also install the Bussin extension for syntax highlighting.

Baldur's Gate Player Character Script

A BS file may also be a script that can be applied to a player-controlled character in BioWare's Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series of games. It contains a list of in-game triggers and responses used to automate a character's actions. BS files are used to streamline in-game combat or to cheat the game.
More Information
BioWare's Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series of games are role-playing games set within Dungeons & Dragons' Forgotten Realms. Uniquely, these games were created using a game development platform called the Infinity Engine, which simulates pen-and-paper Dungeons and Dragons rules.
Infinity Engine games allowed players to create scripts that controlled their party members' actions. Most times, players created scripts in-game using the games' script editors. These scripts were then saved as BS files.
However, some Infinity Engine modders took it upon themselves to create BS scripts that bent or broke the Infinity Engine's typical ruleset. These mod-created scripts allowed players to quickly strengthen their characters and beat games more easily.
NOTE: Some Infinity Engine scripts control a game's non-player characters. These scripts are saved with the .bcs extension.
How to open a BS file
Because BS files are plain text, you can open them with any text editor, including:
- Microsoft Notepad (Windows)
- Apple TextEdit (Mac)
- GitHub Atom (cross-platform)
To use a BS file as a script in an Infinity Engine game, place the file in your game's {GAMENAME}/Scripts folder. You will then be able to select the script in-game.
