What are sub files? How to modify?

They are used for various things, they are text files that usually contain "layer and layout" information, on metin2 we use them to take desired shapes from an image

For example, in locale/ui/

u have "login.png and login.sub" or "logo.png and logo.sub"

Thanks to the subfile it is possible to define the coordinates of each single pixel of an image.

For example, in public.dds you have yang slot, cheque slot and much button

File cheque_slot.sub:

title subImage
version 1.0
image "Public.dds"
left 206
top 446
right 230
bottom 464

As you can see, this file crops the desired pixels from that image. Basically, if there were no .sub files everything should have its own image, a client consisting of 2kk of files is not nice (Also you should define the coordinates of anything in Python and we don't like useless code either)

To create one you just need to have the photo from where you want to take the piece of image or the complete photo, and then through an editor such as GIMP or Photoshop take the measurements of the pixels

I would just add that for its simplicity I would recommend paint.net for such things + I like that it can remember the position on the same image.
