Can't figure out modifying announcement files
« on: March 04, 2019, 12:06:04 pm »

I have problem I've been working with in my personal modding and I was hoping someone might know the answer to this: how does one modify the data/announcement files?

I know it can be done as some conversion mods feature at least changes to the embark text, but I can't for the life of me figure out how. I've searched for information on it constantly, but nothing's turned up. I've tried making some sense out of it with hexediting, but nothing there either. I have a feeling the answer to this may be obvious but I can't find it.

If anyone could lend me hand I'd be really thankful. I've been on this problem for a week now and I'm still nowhere.

(I wasn't sure if I should put this in the General Questions thread or not, but I figured this was a bit out of the way for the usual questions.)

There's a tool that can unpack and repack them. Here.

Seriously, thank you! I can't believe I couldn't find this- I suppose I was right when I thought I was missing something simple.

Thanks again!
