"replace":["data/missions/mission_list.csv"],Optional.Certain files - such as the mission list, weapon/ship data, sounds, etc - are merged as they're loaded. For example, the core game has a set of missions, and two other mods add a few missions each. The game will merge these files together prior to loading the merged files. This allows multiple mods to coexist, but sometimes - especially for total conversions - this is not desirable.Adding a file to the "replace" list will ensure that the mod's copy of the file will be used as-is, instead of being merged with the core file. In the above example, the mod is saying that the missions specified in its mission_list.csv should be the only ones loaded, instead of being added to the core set of missions.Graphics, sound, and .java files are automatically replaced and don't need to be specified here.Mods that aren't total conversions probably shouldn't use this parameter, as they're unlikely to be compatible with other mods as a result.
