Are these levels hardcoded or something? I tried adding the four types of Horror Mages in the Harem level 1 and it just didn't work. I didn't even try the Valley because I noticed Claw Vipers, Salamanders, Guardians and Embalmed are already supposed to be there, but as everyone knows there's nothing but an occasional Fire Tower. Can I do something about that?

Didn't I tell you that you need to edit the MonDen value column in levels.txt to make monster spawn there?P.S. Hey, haven't seen you around in Diabloii.net for a while, back off to college are you? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage [This message has been edited by Apocalypse Demon (edited 14 January 2002).]

It's already 880 in the Valley and 2200 in the Harem. So the problem's not there...Oh yeah, not only am I back to school, but I noticed a quick decay of the discussion level in Dii.net, so I went back to some more mod testing and updating. And I gave a try to a melee character for the first time too...

Harem and Valley of the Snakes don't normally accept monster placement...I seem to recall there was a trick to getting around this problem...but damned it I recall what it was.Perhaps you could try setting levels.txt to think that the valley is an indoor area and the harem is an outdoor area? It's crazy sounding, but who knows: maybe you could confuse the game... ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

Maybe using the level editor to get your monsters in? Unfortunately, there are a lot of monster and object entries missing the obj.txt file of the level editor guide.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Too bad, there's no regular monster in any act, and I have no super-unique left in Acts 1 and 5 (I used Flamespike the Crawler to make my super-unique Burning Soul right by Meph).To jbouley: LOL, I won't try this one even if I got paid for that. I already hesitated to change the music in the Valley to the one in the Canyon of the Magi... Update: Error, there are actually Enslaved, Maw Fiends, Prowling Deads, Fallen and a few others. But who wants these in Act 2? [This message has been edited by MSLE (edited 14 January 2002).]

How did you get Flamespike the Crawler into a different Act? I have no idea how you transfer stuff from one act to another with the level editor, I only know how move things around that are part of the same act. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Simple. With the level editor, you open your DS1 file (in my case mephcomp.ds1). There should be a place in the window where you can select between the five acts, just above the object box. Choose the act you want (normally 1 or 5 ), then the object, and put it on the map. I don't know if I did it only because this map never changes, but I tried it and it works.[This message has been edited by MSLE (edited 14 January 2002).]

I'll have to try that out soon, Nefarius. It would be great if the fix is that simple.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

Hmmm...doesn't look like that's the answer after all. The row for the harem in that file already has "1" in the Populate column...couldn't find anything that referenced the Valley of the Snakes directly.Oh, well, back to the drawing board.... ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.
