Create a new Monster

[Gilles]

how to create a new Monster with a new skin?

Hey together =)
I just saw how to edit the monster files but there was no Thread about creating a new one.
So maybe its just a little error.

So i did the following.

I took the inf and zhoon file from Cyclops, copied it and renamed the new one.
Then i edited the new ones.

changed the name of the used zhoon file in the last line of the inf.
And for sure i edited the name in the zhoon file.

Everything worked fine till now.

Now heres the point.

i made a new folder in char\monster folder of my monster (including all the cyclops files)
and changed the path to the ini file in the inf file.

(like this "char\monster\newcyclops\MonCyclops-f.INI")

I also copied the char\monster\newcyclops files to the client folder.

And when i try to cal the monster my server crashes.



I dont know whats up with those ini files. can't find them anywhere. Do i have to change something in the client exe or server exe?

Would be nice if someone could give me a little hint =)

thx in advance

open up ur ini file... there are things to change in there also. Things like folder directory, monster directory and etc. You cant just change the zhoon files onli.

i also changed the path to the new folder. But i got always dv when i try to call it.
I think i must add the new monster in the game.exe But i have no idea where to look ^^

Sorry for the double post now. but i need to bmup up this topic. Im still confused about monsters.

So maybe anyone can help or give me a link to a topic like this (Cause i havent found one due searching)

I give you an example for 1 Monster i tried to do.

Dark Mech:

Creating the Monster itselfs with Mechanican Spirit Skin.

Copy the d_meca.inf from Gameserver/Monster and change it.
Create a Zhoon File which is linked in the inf file.

The Monster works of course.

Now the tricky Part.

i want to copy the Mechanican Spirit skin and colour it so that i have 2 skins.

One for the Dark Mech (colored one) and the Dark Mech (orginal one)

-----

Now what ive done before.

I copied the whole d_meca folder and made another folder named z_meca

First try:

then i edited dmeca.inx with an hex editor i changed all the d_meca into z_meca.
Ive also done this with dmeca.smd.

Of course i changed the line in the GameServer\Monster\dark_meca.inf into
