ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Modified string files should be classified as UI or Text mods, not Data mod, and allowed to be used in ranked matches!
After last update, some mods are allowed in ranked matches. So I tried to use my modified string files, but it comes out fail to join ranked matches with them. Then I found my mod was classified as Data mod instead of UI mod which are allowed after last update, that may explain why my mod was banned from ranked matches. However, modified string files do not change any gameplay and have no harm to game balance, they SHOULD BE SAFE as UI and Sound mods!
Here are the files I modified, please classify them as safe too!
