WARNING - edit to Windows Registry, if you are not familiar with this browse online for best practices BEFORE changing anything.
To help speed you through browsing your JavaScript files (if your text editor does not open folders), you can preview your JS files in Windows Explorer. Check out http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/add-file-types-to-windows-7-preview-pane for instructions but essentially you:
1) Open regedit
2) Goto /HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.js
3) Add a string value named: PerceivedType
4) Add the following value data to the string PerceivedType: text
5) Close regedit
That is it. The next time you click on a JavaScript file, it will appear in the Windows preview pane.
To see an example of what those registry key looks like check out /HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.txt
Note, there are some open source solutions that add a "handler" to enable syntax coloring, in-place editing and such inside the preview pane but I recommend against those since they often lock a file for a period of time, preventing editing. If you need more features get a free text editor like Brackets or Atom.
Want more... the Windows explorer text preview pane settings use the Notepad text format. If you want a smaller font in the preview, simply open Notepad and set the Format > Font size down, to like 9 maybe. If your mouse has a wheel, you can change the preview text size by holding down the control button and turning the wheel (with your mouse over the preview pane).

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
