I've figured out how to put the monsters in the level of my choice.In the "monstat.txt" under the columns M1, M2, M3, etc...... I filled out all 25. but when i get to that level it only has about 2 or 3 different kinds of the monsters i wanted. And they seem to generate randomly everytime I exit the game then go back to that level. Is there a limit to how many types of monsters per area and how do i control that everytime i go to that area, i WILL fight the monsters i put there.

You should hang out and post in the Expansion Mod Making forum...as you will get quicker insight and answers about modding...this area is just for introducing yourself or asking general site questions.But to answer your question, the game randomly picks a few monsters...you can never have all of the 25 there at once. You can add more by putting some monster IDs in the S columns in Levels.txt (not monstats.txt...I don't want any newbies to get confused) as well (normally used for nests)...I don't know how many will actually show up, but it allows additional variety.

to put monsters in the nest (s) columns in levels.txt you need to change the eSpawnCol (enemy spawn column) in monstats.txt to 2 for that monster type this tells the game this monster can be only spawned thru the S columns. notes about eSpawnCol 0 means its spawned thru M columns, 1 means its a part of the map (mosquito demons, frog demons) and 2 means its spawned thru the s (spawner) column hope this helps.------------------ quote: there is a reason why your here. and there is a reason for whats now

Gonna move this to the expansion mod making forum.*Dimension Door was cast. A portal opened within the wall and the topic moved through it into the Expansion Mod Making forum. ------------------ That aint nothin' a flak cannon and a few guided rockets can't fix.
