Editing Sprites with Flex 2

[THIS IS A REPOST FROM THE SSRG TUTORIAL]

IMPORTANT, THIS GUIDE MAYBE HAS SOME GRAMATICAL ERRORS, IF YOU FIND ONE, PLEASE, LET ME KNOW TO FIX IT

So, I decided to do a new guide, this time about Flex 2, if you dont want to use SonMapED.
So, first of all, what is Flex 2?

Spoiler: Sonic Retro Information

Flex 2 is a is a multi-purpose art and mapping editor for the Sega Megadrive made by snkenjoi.
The original Flex was a web app, which gave it several limitations. A full rewrite for desktop opens up the ability to use real project files, as well as various other improvements.
Key improvements;

• project files
• sexy flexible UI layout
• custom mapping formats
• undo / redo
• ability to draw directly on sprites
• multiple heuristics for spritesheet importing
• full access to dplc/mapping data

So, time to go to action!
To load any art, you need to select the art file that you want to load

Uncompressed for the art presented in artunc.
Nemesis for the art presented in Artnem.
For this guide, we are going to use the Uncompressed Art file.
Now, to load the art...

the Offset, is for the main art file (Your disasm/Artunc/Sonic.bin)
Mappings are to load the maps of the object. (Your disasm/_Maps/ Sonic.asm)
DPLCs... well, if you want to load stuff like Sonic. (Your disasm/_Maps/Sonic - Dynamic Gfx Script.asm)
And pallete, for the colors. (Your disasm/Palette/Sonic.bin)
and then, click on "Load".
If you did it right, this should be the result.
Oops, forgot to mention, if you edit with another game, that part that says "Sonic 1", change it into the game that you will edit.
Now, time to go with the sauce!
Time to edit!
Press M In your keyboard to load this edit menu
But if you want to add a new ones... then...

Export image is to export the image and convert the sprite into an image file.
export spritesheet is to export ALL the sprites.
Import image is to import an image as an sprite. (I dont recommend to use it if you want to add a new one)
Import sprite is to add a new sprite.
As an extras, to delete sprites press D + S.
Not important, but i want to mention it.
And now, how you can save it?
go to File and then click on save

And thats all, I hope that this helped you~!

Change the art file to uncompressed to Nemesis, and then in the offset load the hud art, its located in "Your disasm name/Artnem/HUD.bin or HUD.nem"
and for mappings go to _Maps and search HUD.
If your HUD Uses yellow of sonic (only sonic 1) palette, load the Sonic palette in the part of palette/sonic.bin
But if your HUD its like the sonic 2 one, then select a palette of a level.
Theres NO DLPC For it.
the result should be something like this:
