    I need to add 2 bytes of padding to an existing table, the best solution I can think of is to add another
    column to the end and fill it with free space.

    But I don't know how I'd do that, or how to have it fill free space, but not overwrite what's normally there (assuming that would even be a problem in decomp) .

    I thought I had found the source for the table and tried adding an extra argument/statement to the end, but the layout didn't change whatsoever, when I opened the rom in a hexviewer.
    edit:
    Ok I found this out, comes down to knowing the data structure, as tables are just data arranged in a specific repeating structure.
    For decomp I just need to find the right struct, and then add or remove whatever I want in the struct/array, and make sure anything that references it is updated correctly.
