    • Nodes/Maps:What are the "Kind" and "Valid" fields for?


      The Kind, when set to 1, makes the level an official boss level, with the flashing skull replacing the boring old square.

      The valid, when set to 0, deletes a misplaced node forever.

      The "kind" field tells MASCOT/Ferazel what the item is.
      Try making a new object other than a spell, and giving it the kind "2000".

      Valid is used to hide the Dimbo on "River of fears".
      I'm not sure what values to use.

    • I don't think we're talking about the same things. There's a reason this is in the "Nodes/Maps" section.

    • As far as the nodes/map section goes, the valid option lets you set a node's validitieditly (?) to 0 and let you erase a misplaced node, the kind option, when set to one makes the node appear as a boss level.
