Hi, are we allowed to have external files in the program. Such as an ini file that stores settings or map date. As in, the frame loads in external maps stored inside an ini file?

Yes external files are acceptable providing they are mobile friendly and follow the convention of (yourappname-filename.ext)

Are .OGG and .MP3 mobile friendly when kept externally? And if we have multiple files, can we put them in a folder under the same naming convention?

So, something like DisGame-Level01.ini? or dose it HAVE to be a .ext?

.ext was a variable for what ever your files extension type was labeled as. So yes .ini is great and you naming convention is spot on.
