.store0 and .tmp files are also backups. Give them a try by renaming them to end with .city (after making a backup from all files).

former member, I suspect you cannot actually change all that stuff. Maybe on the surface, but after loading the city it will be set back. The readable header (json format, as always) is just for overall information so the city can be displayed within the region without loading all the contents. The contents themselves are compressed to save a lot of disk space.

You probably changed the length of the header... that's a problem as the first two bytes indicate the length for the header (in bytes). If the length changes you would have to adjust these bytes accordingly.
