  How to get started:

  When you first open the program it tells you to open your save. So find your RVFOREST.DAT save you get from the save game extractor homebrew app and click on "open".

  

  You will see a screen like this where you can choose any of the 60 patterns in the game. You can choose to edit, take a screenshot, export, and import.

  

  Editing Patterns:

  When editing patterns remember that the section you choose you will affect a certain area of the clothing. This picture helps you understand what part of the clothing your editing when you choose section 1, 2, 3, or 4.

  

  In the picture below I am editing the front/chest of the clothing which is section 1.

  

  Clicking on section fill will make the section turn completly one color. Pick the color before clicking on "Section Fill".

  When you click on "Name Editor" you can choose to edit the name of pattern, creator, and creator's town.

  

  When you are done editing the pattern click on "Update".

  Screenshot:

  The purpose of taking a  screenshot is letting other pattview users know how your pattern looks like or showing of you pattern to other people. I will get more in depth with this for site members. When you click on it an image will be saved to wherever your pattview folder is.

  

  Export:

  Exporting patterns lets you import the current pattern your clicking on. This lets you share your patterns with PattView users world wide. Members of ARSC now have access to a Pattern Database where members can upload their patterns and share them with everyone. If you wan to have access to this feature, sign up!

  

  Import:

  Clicking on "Import" will let you install a pattern you have saved. So when you download patterns from this site (if your a member), you click on Import and the patter that you have chosen will take the place of the slot you clicked on before importing.
