==Getting started==
==Unpack & pack game files==
You can't edit an <tt>.xnb</tt> file itself, you need to edit the file that's inside it. Pulling out that inner file is called ''unpacking'', and putting it back is called ''packing''. You can do that using xnbcli, a tool for packing and unpacking XNB files. It's [https://github.com/LeonBlade/xnbcli open-source] and natively crossplatform.
Here's how:
# Download [https://github.com/LeonBlade/xnbcli/releases xnbcli].

## Double-click <tt>pack.bat</tt> (Windows) or <tt>pack.sh</tt> (Linux/Mac).
## Double-click <tt>pack.bat</tt> (Windows) or <tt>pack.sh</tt> (Linux/Mac).
## Move the repacked <tt>.xnb</tt> file back to the original location.
