Well, guess you ignored my warning and you're here to learn about it now, fine.

So, what is the node editor? It's a JSON editor built directly into Chromapper. And because it's a JSON editor I highly advise you not to make maps in it. It will take extremely long and the map won't be as good as it would we with scripting. But if you are REALLY sure you want to continue let me explain how to get it working.

To open the node editor you need to press N in Chromapper, it should look something like this:

Now we want to actually select an object to start editing it's custom data. It should look something like this:

note: The custom data will not be there already, you have to add it!

You can read about all the properties from objects here. You need to have all text in quotes and values in arrays ([ ] <-- these things) for the JSON to work. Also be sure to separate each line with a comma!

Note: You will need to make a custom event manually before getting a lane for it in chromapper!
