Editing Workflow

Step 1: Find the Entry

Use the app's list/search features to locate the StrRef you want to edit.

Step 2: Edit Carefully

• Change only the entry you intend to change.
• Keep punctuation and placeholders exactly as needed by your mod setup.
• Avoid mass edits unless you have tested a smaller sample first.

Step 3: Save Predictably

• Prefer versioned filenames such as dialog_v01.tlk, dialog_v02.tlk.
• Keep notes about what each save changed.

Step 4: Validate in Context

Load your target game/mod environment and verify text appears where expected.

Practical Tips

• Work in short sessions with frequent saves.
• Keep a changelog in a text file.
• If a result looks wrong, return to your previous saved version.
