+===================================================== OBTAINING MOD STORAGE VALUES
+Mod storage values are local to this mod.
+But global functions are added for you to obtain and set values.
+Refer to the list above for a list of values obtainable.
+
+party.get_value(<valuename>) will return mod_storage:get_string(<valuename>)
+party.set_value(<valuename>, <newvalue>) will do mod_storage:set_string(<valuename>, <newvalue>)
