MegaFLE - Guide
Version 0.1

Getting Started

MegaFLE.exe

The executable you run first is MegaFLE.exe. Here, you input the filename of the rom you want to hack, and wich "game mode", MegaMan 3, 4, or 5.

Edit Mode Menu

A new menu opens, this is where you select the editing mode. Each mode can edit different things, and more modes can edit one type of data:

1.Screen Editor - Palettes and palette effects, TSA Block type/palette, Structure TSA, Screens, Screen Order, Scroll Map Data, CHR Pointers*, and TAD bank data.
2.Tile Editor - Tiles, Block TSA-Data, TSA Block type/palette, CHR Pointers*, and TAD bank data.
3.Enemy Editor - Screen Order, Enemy Data, Scroll Map Data (Data for sprites only, and only in MM3/MM5 mode), Sprite Palette (MM3/MM5 mode), CHR-Bank for each sprite CHR/PAL set (MM3 mode only), and CHR Pointers*.
4.Misc. Level Editor - Multiscroll (MM4/MM5), Midpoint and Bosspoint (MM5 only currently), Screen Order, Scroll Map Data, Music Track, TAD bank data, and CHR Pointers*.

* - CHR Pointer data is only used in MM3 and MM5

Changing Mode

In any mode, you can go to the next mode by pressing TAB, or you can also go to the previous/next mode with F11/F12. The modes goes in the order as described above. Quitting (ESC) will bring you back to the edit mode menu.

In the edit mode menu, "Q: Quit.." brings you back to your OS. Info about the rom filename and game-mode is saved in a file, so next time you can start MegaFLE you could skip the menu and start in any mode, by running one of these executables:

"ScrnEdit.EXE" - Screen Editor
"TileEdit.EXE" - Tile Editor
"EnemEdit.EXE" - Enemy Editor
"MiscEdit.EXE" - Misc. Level Editor

If you startup this way, you will still return to the edit mode menu when pressing ESC.

Saved Info

When you either change editing mode or quit, some information will be saved in a file, and loaded next time you start a mode. This neat feature will save you from setting a lot of values when you want to edit what you just were editing.

The info saved is:

Non-Game Mode On/Off
Current Level
Current Screen
AltCHR On/Off
AltPAL On/Off
Current Level (in non-game mode)
Current Screen (in non-game mode)
AltCHR On/Off (in non-game mode)
AltPAL On/Off (in non-game mode)

Changing rom and game-mode

In the edit-mode selecting menu, "B: Back.." will take you back to the starting menu, if you want to hack another rom.
