Editing Parameters

Adjusting the parameters available in the various windows of the things you want to make, and specifying things such as text and items is at the core of the creation process when creating games using this software. The different types of items you can set and how to edit them are as follows.

• Text Input

  Click the settings field and a "|" cursor will be shown. You can enter text using a keyboard while the cursor is in this state. Entered text will be inserted at the cursor's position. You can also move the cursor using the keyboard's arrow keys. The text input method will depend on the input method (IME) you're using for your language.

• Number Input

  Just as with text input, click the settings field and a "|" cursor will be shown. You can enter half-width numbers using a keyboard while the cursor is in this state. You can also click the [∧] and [∨] buttons to the right of the field to increase or decrease the value.

• Radio Buttons

  Radio buttons specify one item to be applied from multiple items. Click a circle. When it is filled in, that setting is enabled.

• Check Boxes

  Specifies if a setting indicated by the item name is enabled or disabled. Click the square. When it is filled in with a check mark, that setting is enabled. Click again and the check mark will disappear.

• Drop-down Lists

  Specifies one item from the items shown in the list to be applied. Click the [∨] to the right of the settings field to open it.

• List Boxes

  A list box shows a list of multiple settings. Double click an item to open a window where you can add or change content.

• [...] Button

  The content of items with a [...] to the right of the settings field is specified in a separate window. Click the [...] and make your configurations in the window that appears.

• [OK], [Cancel], and [Apply] Buttons

  Changes to settings are enabled once you confirm them. Click [OK] to confirm and close the window, click [Cancel] to discard your changes and close the window, or click [Apply] to confirm without closing the window.

Searching via a Context Menu

The context menu can be opened by right clicking on a map or database. From there, you can select the [Search] option.

The [Search] window will then open. After searching once, you can select [Search Next] or [Search Previous] to continue searching for the same text.
