Monster List idea (.txt file)

[LostKnight]

Curious: How many would be interested in a list that looks like this, it will be a large text file:

The first 4:

Code: Select all

|||<<<<<<<< code number
XXX name << name of monster  LVL: Level

MLIFE: Maximum Life  DMG: Damage  DEX: Dexterity  ARM: Armour

	RNG:1               SPD:6           FRQ:1,000        EXP:400
	SP:0                DP:0

472 Ancient Minotar     LVL:1000
	MLIFE:500,000       DMG:14,000      DEX:250         ARM:205
	RNG:1               SPD:8           FRQ:1,000       EXP:6,500,000
	SP:20               DP:0

I have chosen to put them in Alphabetical order.
Its going to happen but if there is a lot of interest I'd be motivated to do it faster.
Keep in mind I'm a slow typist and prone to errors, so faster means a month or so vs 6 to 8.

Not even sure if a post would allow the whole thing. ... but two or three posts would do it.

I like it. Alternatively, copying the PDF file (with images removed, to be txt only) could speed the job up exponentially (new monsters would need to be added). I'm sure the Admins would post such a file for download here in forum once you got done, so many could enjoy the fruits of such labors.

I prefer that to the old version too, not sure why exactly, maybe just easier on the eyes.

Is that just an example of 4 or the real deal as ID 47, the lv11 amazon with 500k hp concerns me. Looks like a merging of the monster above and belows stats. Just an FYI if u hadn't noticed.

I like the design. Although, please add "Map Location" (where monsters located).

Although you could include drops, I suggest just including link to http://dmgamestudio.com/files/items.txt at the top. This doc has the info and would save you time.

OH RIGHT!!! Forgot about that. Thank you!

Code: Select all

Now it's a case of "some" manual editing and we have the "old ones" done.

The new I can get from development files.

Can even get the playable characters:
