Because that file is compiled code. You'll need to decompile it somehow. Yes, you can read parts of it, but that's because it is files compiled together. It won't read correctly if you forget around with the compiled file.

I was able to do it. The thing is, it doesn't like lots of edits. Make small changes and try not to change the character count of the entire file. It should work then, hopefully.
MegaScientifical:
The problem is, that's compiled. The reason it breaks is because the stuff you're having trouble reading tells where files start and stop within the same file, lengths of files, etc. When you forget around in there, it confuses how the game has to read it and breaks the game. Find a way to decompile the code.
