Editing MSBT

The MSBT ('''M'''essage '''S'''tudio '''B'''inary '''T'''ext) file format holds text entries for the game with some optional metadata tags mixed in.

This is a common format in many Nintendo games, and has not changed in Wonder, as such documentation on the format can be found in existing documentation such as the [https://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/MSBT_(File_Format) Mario Kart 8 Wiki MSBT] page.

== Tags ==
MSBT supports the insertion of arbitrary special "tags" in the middle of text entries, while such tags have a generic standard format which doesn't change and is parseable by any MSBT tool, the *meaning* attributed to such tags is game-specific. The below table aims to document the game-specific behavior of Wonder's MSBT tags.

''VERY WIP!!! Yes this table is a mess right now it will be tidied up whenever just leave it be its just an info dump for now.''

* Each Arg is 1 byte.
