Why is a full game dump (RomFS) required? #22

Why is the romfs required to edit files. Unlike a mod manager which has clear reasons for such a requirement this is a tool for editing files from the game.

Every file that is compressed with zStandard (.zs) requires a dictionary file (ZsDic.pack.zs) to decompress. But, since you would need to dump the game to get those files anyway, and with future developments in mind to use more files. It seemed sensible to require a full game dump just for simplicity.

At any rate, you'll need it eventually for a mod merger.

Thanks for the quick and clear explanation.
