The Ultra Toolkit is the largest set of toolkits released under one author. It includes all colors including blinking of every known usable element with and without stats. It also includes a file for cycle speeds and element-specific parameters for a variety of elements.

The Ultra Toolkit is styled after the Super Toolkit by Gregory Janson of Software Visions. The title screen is altered from the Super Toolkit title screen by T. Vanvranken.

HOW TO USE IT:

Open the desired file in the ZZT editor. Put your cursor over the element with the color you want to use and press Enter. It won't show up immediately, but that element with that color is placed into the last pattern slot. Now load up your game in the editor. The element is still in your pattern buffer and it should show up now. Press "P" until the arrow goes over that element and place your cursor where you want to put it. Press the spacebar, and the element with the color you want will be placed onto the board.

Note that some elements have stats that the ZZT editor can modify when you press Enter over the element. In this case, just press Enter until the sidebar goes back to normal, and it will be placed in your pattern buffer. It will even show up immediately at that point.

For quick access to the Ultra Toolkit in your game, you can export a board and import it into your game. To do this, view the Ultra Toolkit board that you want to use in the ZZT editor. Press "T" and select "Export". Type a temporary name that you can remember for a minute. Press Enter, and then load up your game. Create a blank board or switch to a board that you don't want to use anymore. Press "T" and select "Import". Type the filename that you just exported the board as and press Enter. Your current board is now replaced with the Ultra Toolkit board you exported. Instead of having to switch back and forth between world files, you can now just switch between the boards and copy elements over using the same method as described above.
