Text files are still encrypted after unpacking

tbh, that looks like a file stored in a binary format. the safest way to edit would be to read it again as a binary file in a custom made program after finding out what the format is, edit and then rewrite

jp26991: vnv's are stored elsewhere btw (export_descr_character_traits.txt and export_descr_vnvs_enums.txt) . i already made a first attempt at an editor, but still working on making a complete editor so you won't need to mess with related files (see my siggy)

so somehow i don't think we're supposed to edit this file (maybe it's autogenerated from the text files but needed for the game to function??)

Yes, that sounds like the only possible solution. I am going to investigate whether the traits I have added work just using them 2 files, which I highly doubt, but it's worth a try...

Edit: Didn't work, meaning no new traits or ancillaries can be added to the game until this file is unencrypted... :(
