Palettes

🛈 Click on a color to open the color selector. Note that the Genesis has limited color resolution compared to the values used by the computer, so colors may not translate perfectly but the editor will attempt to convert the color to the closest match upon closing the color dialog.
Some colors are fixed/special and may not have any apparent effect when edited or may change parts of the UI. This is true of many blacks and whites at the beginning of palettes.
Also for many graphics, the first color entry is the transparent color, and changing this color will have no visible effect.

⚠ Some palettes are used for more than one purpose in game. Changing colors may have unintended side effects!

Scripting

🛈 Click and drag on empty space to move the view. Click to select/edit and click+drag to move nodes.
The triangular 'Start' node indicates the beginning of the script. The code will follow the graph along the lines of connected nodes, generally just from left to right.
A square node just performs an action and moves onto the next node, there will be one line from the left in and one line from the right out in a straight horizontal line.
A diamond node represents a check/choice. This type of node will have one line in on the left, but two (or maybe more) out on the right; one continuing on the same line and the rest moving down to lower lines. Each will be labeled with the type of result (Equal, Not equal, etc)
The circular 'End' nodes indicate the script should finish here. Any node which isn't connected on the right will automatically get an 'End' attached when saving. The selected node and its outputs will be highlighted in blue. Right clicking or double clicking a node will open it for editing options.
With a node selected, press the left/right keys to move along connected nodes. If a node has multiple outs, use up/down to follow the other branch.
A selected node will show a blue square on the right side, click and dragging from this point will allow it to be reconnected to another node. Press z to change the zoom level, and expand or maximize the window for easier editing.

Actions

A list of available action nodes. Click and drag to add a new node of that type, or double click to add to the middle of the screen.

The node will need to be connected from the left before it can be reached.

Checks

A list of available check/choice nodes. Click and drag to add a new node of that type, or double click to add to the middle of the screen.
The ? button will give an explanation of that node if available.
The node will need to be connected from the left before it can be reached, and connected on the right to as many nodes as there are outcomes (almost always just 2, except in battle exits).

Add End

Creates a cirular 'End' note in the center of the editing area.
Not usually necessary, since ends are added automatically when saving.

Fill Ends

Creates a cirular 'End' note connected to the right of every node that isn't an end and doesn't have a connection to the right.
Not usually necessary, since this is done automatically when saving, but can be useful for seeing while in the middle of editing if you don't want to save yet.

Previous Node

With a node selected, moves back to the node connected to the left.
Same as pressing up/left on the keyboard.

⚠Be careful when disconnecting nodes either this way or by dragging new connections. Any unreachable nodes that don't have a connection from the left will be lost when saving.

Remove

When editing a node, deletes the selected node.
Make sure to reconnect the adjacent nodes if deleted from the middle of a line.
Also accessible via the Delete key.
