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: Range SPD: Speed FRQ: Frequency EXP: Experience Points
SP: Spell Protection DP: Damage Protection
484 Albino Bat LVL:0
MLIFE: 0 DMG:0 DEX:0 ARM:0
RNG:0 SPD:0 FRQ:0 EXP:0
SP:0 DP:0
427 Amazon LVL:0
MLIFE:800 DMG:31 DEX:11 ARM:25
RNG:1 SPD:6 FRQ:0 EXP:0
SP:0 DP:0
47 Amazon LVL:11
MLIFE:500,000 DMG:14,000 DEX:11 ARM:25
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
pdftotext ~/FTales/Manual_Enemies.pdf ~/FTales/Manual_Enemies_pdf.txt
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:
Code: Select all

60 - Fury: Attack at the same time all enemies.)
100 - Running: +2 to speed.)
140
ID: 13 Name: Swordsman / Green Swordsman
DMG: 2 ARM: 2 DEX: 2

60 - Freeze sword: enemy can't move.
100 - Fire sword: Reduces enemy life by 40% and your life by 10%.

But yup, much faster.
Thank you madmaniacal1
