Which EI server files can use Mon19?

[Hawky]

I noticed that ragezones EI server has a mon19 in amongst the data files in the patch, does anyone know which server files can read mon19 or can any server read them or does it need to be hexed to get that functionality?

i have mon 20 also in my data ,and i use the mobs from them so i think most serverfiles can read them !!

Well I seem to be able to spawn the mobs from mon19 ok but they all start to blink

All other mobs are fine just those in 19 & 20. Have tried with the files as they are and also with those first few bytes hexed but still no luck.

Does anyone have a newer set of server files that actually work?

I've tried the ones in the download section and they really seem to not be up to scratch as yet altho Mauldor seems to have a set fully working but the links dont work to the files

I'm still using the server files we used over a year ago and I've been off the scene for a while so I may have m,issed something along the way.

When did it ever come down to the server limiting the monster files? Last i checked:

Server: Hey client, load this monster, this is the number you'll find it at
Client: aight, sec. There we go, loaded from that number.

-

Server: Hey client, i just spawned this monster, load number XX.
Client: aight, loading. Wait a sec, there is nothing there. Oh well, the player just cant see it right.

Hi Unity and thx for the input. I just tried a client that I know loads mon19 & 20 mobs just fine on another server but mine still flash when on screen.

I recently had my 50th birthday so I'm shedding brain cells at a huge rate nowadays but is there something that I could have overlooked that causing them to flash?

As I say, the mobs spawn ok so mob, appr numbers etc are ok and I know the files work on another server without flashing. Got me stuffed There goes what little hair I had left

mon files are out of place ,thats why they flashing


normally a mob number starts with a even number like 1000 ,1100 , 1200

yours are like 1001,1101,1201 causing them to flash ,fix that and your problem will be solved

Thanks for that buddy, looks like you may have hit the nail right on the head! They are indeed 1001, 2001, etc.

All I gotta do now is figure out proggy is going to be best to use to reimport the images after they are fixed.

Thanks again

Just wanted to say thanks to Justme for giving me the offending files
