You could create a PR adding keywords today and they'd likely merge it. They chose not to prioritize doing so themselves. Which is understandable. The code is likely bitrotten + has no maintainer – and the issue will reappear eventually anyway.

- serialization is r/w capable

Not much of a Godot guru, so I'm open to ideas on how to try to speed things up and make some resources editable/exportable back to JC2 (or elsewhere).

I pride myself on misquoting New Vegas
