I made a script which reads .json files in my res:// and makes dialogs out of them. It works fine, but when I export my game it crashed, because there is no res:// any more and the .json files dont get exported with all the other files.

Is there a other text format which gets exported because a .png file for example gets exported ,too?

OR

Is there a way how I still can read the .json files after the game was exported

OR

Is there a way how to get these .json files to the user:// path which still exists after exporting, but then there must be a installation programm which creates the .json files in the user:// folder when someone installs the game the first time.

.json files are not exported by default. You must specify them to be exported in the Resources tab of the export menu.

You can export JSON by adding *.json to the type of resources to export in the Export menu, Resources tab.
