✏️ How to modify files

These files consist of a series of **Keys** and **Values**:

• **Key**: Helps the game find the corresponding value.
• **value**: Contains localized strings.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE**:

• **Do not modify keys**: Modifying key values ​​arbitrarily may cause the game to not run properly.
• **Processing newline characters**: Some strings contain newline characters, which are displayed as `\n` in the decoded file. You are free to add or remove these `\n`s, but **do not insert real newlines directly into the file**, otherwise they will be interpreted as different values ​​and may completely corrupt the file.
