  Custom Note Files v1.0
  by Adiktuzmiko                   
  
  Date Created: 12/16/2014
  Date Last Updated: 12/16/2014
  Requires: N/A
  Difficulty: Easy
  
======================================================
 Overview
======================================================
 
 This script allows you to create text files from
 where you want to load the notetags for the database
 entries in your game.
 
 Allows you to make different files so that you can
 segregate the notes. 
 
======================================================
 Usage
====================================================== 
 
 Put this script into your scripts editor and modify
 the settings below
 
 Create your note files where you want them to be and
 just modify the FILES hash on the set-up part below.
 
 Start tagging your database objects with
 
 <note:key:index>
 
 Where key determines which file to open and index
 is the index of the tag on the file.
 
 Example notetag text file:
 
 It is important to not put any spaces after the : part
 
 <note:1>
   notetags here
 </note>
 
 Let's say this note is in a file that is registered
 using the symbol :items, this is how the note in the database
 should look like:
 
 <note:items:1>
 
 Note: index can be any string
======================================================
 Compatibility
======================================================
 
 Aliases RPG::BaseItem's note method
 
 Aliases DataManager's load_database method
 
 This would work for all database entries that uses the RPG::BaseItem
 and/or it's subclasses as it's parent class
 
 This would work for any script that uses notetags as long as they use
 the .note call instead of using @note directly from inside the
 RPG::BaseItem class
