=== Bow Selection Panel ===

Finally, the Bow Selection Panel handles the actual selection and presentation of the Aura Bow. [[File:Bow Selection Panel.png|alt=Bow Selection Panel Location.|center|thumb|600x600px|Bow Selection Panel Location.]]The upper left of the panel is for assigning weights to the three methods for selecting a bow color: DS Favorite Color, DS MAC Address, or a custom block of code. Note that these weights '''must be integers''' or the sheet will generate invalid code. For convenience, the percent chance of each option is computed by the sheet, based on the weights and total weight. The ExplorerScript input for the custom bow selection is on the right of this panel, and on the bottom left is the flavor-text for each bow color.

== Variable Cleanup & End-Cap Generator: Nearly Finished! ==

This tab of the sheet aims to clean up the bevy of variables used by the quiz, and prep the game for actually running. Since QMT uses a majority of the script variables the game has to function, this tab resets them all back to what they should be at the beginning of a save file, now that the quiz no longer needs them. If some part of the quiz needs to be remembered, such as the color of the aura bow, whether the player has played Time/Darkness, or the winning Quiz personality pool, that needs to be preserved in this tab. In addition, this is the tab where the starters are officially initialized, which allows them to be nicknamed.

=== Upper Panel ===

This tab ALSO has an upper panel! The number of pools to clear should ideally match the number of pools in use. "White Space" does the same thing it has up to this point, and the far right output cell is read elsewhere, and only exists for debug purposes.

In the center of the panel are three new checkboxes. "Name Partner?" and "Name Hero?" should be somewhat intuitive, they enable/disable the ExplorerScript inputs for naming the hero and partner respectively, which will be elaborated on below. Finally, "Set $VERSION to 1?" sets the "$VERSION" script variable to 1 at the very end of the script. Without ASM modification, saving the game with this variable as anything besides 1 results in a "corrupt" save file. In the absence of a strong reason otherwise, this box should remain checked.
