I'm not sure it's possible. If you've already tried putting Populate ID #s in the row in Levels.txt used for the lair and it didn't work...it probably won't.Some areas don't take changes, like the harem, for example. With isilweo's level editor (available in Tools of the Trade here at the Keep), you might be able to add something in there, but I'm not sure. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

I know that you can spawn monsters in the normal way into Baals Chamber so it's no general rule that you can't put monsters in those areas but maybe they only forgot to set a flag for the expansion  Anyway try to spawn monsters in to Duriel's Lair by adding monster IDs into the approriate columns in levels.txt (see the tutorial section if you don't know how to spawn monsters) and let us know if it worked. ------------------ www.VKmods.de Middle Earth Mods

"I know that you can spawn monsters in the normal way into Baals Chamber so it's no general rule that you can't put monsters in those areas but maybe they only forgot to set a flag for the expansion"Putting monsters in Baal's chamber using just the populateIDs doesn't work, I tried filling it with the minions of destruction monsters and nothing appears. Soo, I think isilweo's editor is needed for those lvls. Other lvls that can't accept added monsters are Nihlathak's temple, Bloody Foothills, the Valley of the Snakes I believe, Canyon of Magi, etc. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Well you have to increase the monster density to something else than 0 of course and make the minions of destruction spawnable monsters.We use a very low mondensity so that occasionally one or two monsters spawn in there. But I'm sure you can populate the chamber as much as you want... but I wouldn't enter then  ------------------ www.VKmods.de Middle Earth Mods

Thanks, I was wondering why nothing was appearing in those lvls. Thanks for clearing that up...------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Just checked the file...MonDen (density) is more than 2,000 in Duriel's Lair...Only the towns and a couple areas in Act V have 0 density. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

Yes we tried to spawn monsters in Arreat Summit but it didn't work. Judging from experience I would say you have a 50% or less chance that spawning in Duriel's Lair is possible. ------------------ www.VKmods.de Middle Earth Mods
