# Modifying Character Dialogue and Cutscenes
The 1.8e beta version of Rabi-Ribi includes the ability to modify cutscenes and character dialogue for custom maps. By default, the game makes use of the files in `Rabi-Ribi\localize` for its cutscenes. If you create the files `story_emot.rbrb` and `story_text.rbrb` and place them in your custom map folder (`Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>\`) together with your map, these ifles will be used for dialogue/cutscenes instead.
