Flele Coding Tutorial

Update: Now that I have finished all of the flele coding tutorials, I will now be making only revisions and finishing up my own. I doubt I will have the time to re-code your entire flele anymore unless I'm really interested.

If you see any mistakes in my tutorial, then please notify me at once so that I may fix it.

This tutorial was created because I'm having art block on my own flele and ~MewGlaceon was having trouble coding hers. I never thought a tutorial would take 3+ hours to make.

Edit: It's a bit sad how this tutorial is more popular than my actual art >.>

For the number that you would use after sakura.bindgroup__ Use a number like 900. It looks like 100 and anything below will not work.

For "refresh,1" in the install section, it means that you want your flele shell to load and appear after you add your shell.

To clear up misunderstandings, "mustselect" means that one of these items in that category must be selected, "multiple" means that you can choose multiple items in this category and not specifying means that you can either have that item not selected or only select one item of that category.

The category section is "sakura.bindgroup,______,stuff" where the blank is. You take the category in that blank and stick it after "sakura.bindoption,_______" and add a comma afterwards.

Adding the following will allow you to include authorship of the flele:
craftman,_____________
craftmanurl,______________
Where the first is your name and the second is your website url.

You may change the numbers after "sakura.bindgroup__.name," to whatever you want. I does not matter. This is only to help you organize your dressup items. Each dress up item must be assigned as different number.

For Menu arrangement, the first number is also to help you organize things. The second will be the item that you want in the order. For example, if I have 3,900 and 2,901 then the item assigned 901 will appear before 900 on the menu.

Menu image corresponds with the .png images that you save as menu_foreground and menu_background. If you want to switch their order then you must switch the names.
