This tab contains the main information about the project itself, as well the various buttons to modify, save, and load projects.
Title: The title of your solo project. This is the "long name", and can include spaces and other special characters. (ex. "The Tower Of The Four Elements")
Filename: The filename that will be used when saving your project locally. It can only include letters, numbers, and the underscore character. (ex. "tower_of_4_elems")
Start Node: Shows the current node which is the starting point for the project. You can change this by clicking the Set button and then selecting the new starting node in the diagram. Please note that this can lead to "orphaned" nodes which are no longer reachable from the new start, so you may need to modify the diagram further to put them back into reach.
Link Text: This is the default text used to create the links in the output that tell the reader where to go based on their decision. The default text is "Go to".
Add Row: This expands the diagram area by adding a new row of blank nodes to the bottom.
Add Column: This expands the diagram area by adding a new column of blank nodes to the right.
Crop Diagram: This trims the bottom and right of the diagram to fit only the nodes in use. It does not delete any used nodes.
New Project: Begin a new project with a Start node provided. This will clear out the current project, so save any work you want to keep before doing this.
Load Project: Load an existing Dmorte project from a save file.
Save Project: Save the current Dmorte project to a local file.
Regenerate Random Seed: This function creates a new core random seed for arranging the paragraphs in random order. If you don't like the current random order, click this to get a new one. The seed is saved as part of the project to ensure that once you have the random order as you like it, later exports will keep them in the same order. Please note that adding or removing nodes will change the random order as well.
This tab contains the primary tool panel and displays information about the current node selected in the main node window.
Label: The short label for the node that will be used in the main node editor window. (ex. "Entry")
Title: The full name of the node. This can appear as the paragraph title in the produced output. (ex. "A Mysterious Entryway")
Body: The full text of the node. This is the content of the node, the paragraphs describing this part of the adventure or story.
Outbound Connections: This is a list of connections leading from this node to other nodes. It displays the label of the node connected to, and the text that will be used to describe the connection in the produced text. Add new nodes by using the connection links in the node editor. Delete nodes by clicking the red [X] before the connection in this list.
This tab lets you review the current overall document in an ordered fashion. You can also export the text of the review document.
Export Review Text: Save the contents of the review window as a local text file. The filename will be the filename set for this project, followed by "-review.txt".
This tab lets you review the produced (randomly ordered and numbered) document. You can also export the text of the produced document and reseed the random number generator for the production.
Export Produced Text: Save the contents of the produced window as a local text file. The filename will be the filename set for this project, followed by "-produced.txt".
Regenerate Random Seed: This function creates a new core random seed for arranging the paragraphs in random order. If you don't like the current random order, click this to get a new one. The seed is saved as part of the project to ensure that once you have the random order as you like it, later exports will keep them in the same order. Please note that adding or removing nodes will change the random order as well.
