====== Values (DED) ======

The Values block allows modifying many of the values used internally in a game. Each game has a different set of values that can be modified, see below for details of the available values.

The Values block can also be used to set up [[patch replacements]] (where applicable) which allows an internal patch to be replaced with a string of text.

You can also define new values but the engine itself doesn't use the values for anything. You can think of the Values definition as a registry of nested string pairs. Internally the hierarchy levels are separated
with the ''|'' (vertical line) character, so you can't use it in the key names.


===== Syntax =====

  
  Values {
      Key1 = "Example"
      My block {
          Nested key = "This is a string"
          Other key = "Hello"
      }
  }

The definitions above would create the following entries:

  *  Key1 = Example
  *  My block|Nested key = This is a string
  *  My block|Other key = Hello
