creature.txt question

Can you make your own creature.txt files, or are you limited to adding to the ones already there?

You can make your own. Just make sure the first line is identical to the file name (less the .txt part) and the third line says [OBJECT:CREATURE], and it should work. Oh, and also make sure you don't have any [CREATURE:blah] lines that duplicate another such line in any file, but that's simply standard procedure to avoid duplicate-raw bugs.

You can make new ones.  I tend to put my new creatures in creature_added.txt, or sometimes subdivide it further with creature_added_pet.txt, creature_added_monster.txt, and so forth.  Just make sure you get the proper header at the top of the text file.

like mentioned above make sure the file name and header match so a file named this:

creature_new.txt

would have this right at the top

Code: [Select]
creature_new

[OBJECT:CREATURE]
