Monsters

This contains all the information about creating monster files. Each line that can be added to the file will be below.

[Main]

• Name=The name of the NPC. Can be different then the actual file name.
• HisHer=Used when 'his/her/its' is needed.
• HeShe=Used when 'he/she/it' is needed.
• BName=Goes in front of the NPC name. Typically it is either 'a' or 'an'. Actual names (I.E. a NPC called 'Charlie' does not need it.

[Vars]

• Image=The image of the NPC, without the extension.
• Divinity=The divinity of the monster.

• Race=The race to use. This is mostly internal for things like banes Use the closest race type available from this list:

• Type=The type of monster. This determines if the monster is attackable or not.

• Guild=The guild this NPC belongs too. Normally should be left blank.
• Description=The description on look over.
• Weapon=The weapon name the NPC uses to attack with.

[Values]

• Level=The level of the NPC.
• SpawnMinimum=The minimum spawn time in seconds.
• SpawnMaximum=The maximum spawn time in seconds.
• AttackDelayMinimum=The minimum attack delay in seconds. Can use decimals (I.E. 2.5).
• AttackDelayMaximum=The maximum attack delay in seconds. Can use decimals.
• AttackDelayPause=The pause delay after attacks have been used up. Can use decimals.
• MoneyMinimum=The minimum money the NPC can have.
• MoneyMaximum=The maximum money the NPC can have.
• DamageMinimum=The minimum damage the NPC has. This value is multiplied by 3. (I.E. a value of 3 means the NPC does 9 damage).
• DamageMaximum=The maximum damage the NPC has. This value is multipled by 3.
• AttackAgilityMinimum=The minimum attack agility.
• AttackAgilityMaximum=The maximum attack agility.
• DefendAgilityMinimum=The maximum dodge agility.
• DefendAgilityMaximum=The maximum dodge agility.
• IntelligenceMinimum=The minimum intelligence.
• IntelligenceMaximum=The maximum intelligence.
• WisdomMinimum=The minimum wisdom.
• WisdomMaximum=The maximum wisdom.
• HealthMinimum=The minimum health.
• HealthMaximum=The maximum health.
• Attacks=The amount of attacks the NPC has..
• ArmorMinimum=The minimum armor.
• ArmorMaximum=The maximum armor.
• DeflectMinimum=The minimum deflect. This should only be used if the NPC has a shield. Each value is the same as adding 2.5 armor points but will give a different message when it is deflected.
• DeflectMaximum=The maximum deflect. This should only be used if the NPC has a shield.
• TauntLevel=The taunt level for pets when in a player party. Defaults to 3. Stronger monsters should be 2, and tanky monsters should be 4. 5 should be used for special monsters (unique ranger pets that can be given to players.)
• SpellResist=Removes spell damage against NPC. If this is set to 10, then 10 damage will be negated from the spell casted on the NPC.

[Rarity]

• Value=The rarity level.

[UniqueSpawn]

If this is used, you should not use SpawnMinimum/SpawnMaximum and can be removed. This should be used for any monster that is hourly or higher as it prevents exploiting of special monsters.

• Mode=0 or 1. Default is 0. If Mode is 1, the MinTime/MaxTime is instead a Hour that the NPC will spawn on each day. (From 1-24, not 0-23) Otherwise it will be as described below. The server reboot time is currently at 7am, so 7 would be start time. I.E. 7-9 would be 7am to 9am.
• MinTime=Minimum time in minutes to spawn. This value is multipled by 15. For example: '2' would be '30' minutes.
• MaxTime=Maximum time in minutes to spawn. This value is multipled by 15.
• ID=The ID if you use more then one monster of the same name in the same room. You will need to use one file per ID however. Can be ignored if not needed.
• HP=true/false value. Saves the HP on a server reboot. Used for high HP monsters. Can be ignored if not needed.
• RoomLoad=true/false value. If this value is true, the room will always be loaded, regardless if the NPC is spawned or not. Generally rooms with unique spawns are only loaded IF the monster NEEDS, as the timer has to count down to spawn the monster in that room. This will override this so that it always is loaded, even if the NPC is spawned. Good for scripts. Normally NPCs that have Mode=1 should have this enabled too, as if the room isn't initialized by someone then the mob will never spawn (I.E. no one enters the room until 17:00 on a NPC that hs min/max time 14-16, NPC wouldn't spawn.). Not always the case though. The room simply needs to be preloaded before hand to solve this.
• VanishTime=0 to 1440. Based on minutes. Default 0. If set to 0, will ignore. This will despawn the monster after X minutes. It will attempt to respawn again if Mode is 0. Otherwise it will stay dead.

[Experience]

See http://ember-online.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=281 for general values for experience.

• Hit=The per point amount of experience.
• Slay=The slay amount of experience.

[Special]

• Infravision=Gives extra searching ability on top of intelligence. Each point is like having +1 more intelligence on search.
• Follow=The follow amount in percentage.
• Charm=The charm value in percentage. See http://ember-online.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=472#p2985 if you are on build.
• Despawn=Does this monster move back to it's original location after a few minutes of inactivity? True or False. Defaults to true if not specified.
• Quests=The quest ID or IDs seperated by a comma. The quests here will be assumed to be a progression, so If you have three quests, they will have to advance through each one from the first to the last. An NPC can only have one quest activate a time with a player. I.E. 'Quests=1,3,5,7' means quest 1 first, then quest 3, 5 and last 7 in the series.

[Say]

• Look=The look over message.
• Spawn=The spawn message. You can use / to create a '/me' command. For example: '/me drops from the ceiling.' would become 'NPCNAME drops from the ceiling.'. Has a default if not used.
• Death=The death message. Has a default if not used. Is not used for regular monsters.
• Vanish=The vanish message. Has a default if not used. Is not used for regular monsters.
• SlainName=The slain message adjustment. Defaults to 'slain' if not used. I.E. 'A rock was slain by' can be changed to 'A rock was broken by'.
