i thought this will save some time to many ppl

instead of editing .dats and .dccs for new color you can simply change the "code" column in MONSTATS (not montype) to the code of another monster (i tried changing zombies ZM to SI (quill rats) and well it worked did some more tests and all of it worked!) lol i discovered this by mistake and found that it will save me alot of time.

That's all you do, change the monster token in "code" column? So, your zombies changed to the color of quill rats without anything else getting screwed up?
