"Possible Mad God Editor issue? "

Posted by myrddin on Aug-17-06 at 08:15 PM
Ive created new monsters in the game and they are either not showing up at all or I've only seen them once - and that only after hours and hours of playing - I still keep getting the same ones that are normally in the game.

Anyone have any ideas?

we did but build his pedestal
a narrow and a tall one.

.. to adjust frequency and/or to make static encounters?

There is a parameter when you add the monster to the list of possibly generated monsters for specific points in the world. That paramater is assumed to be a percentage as the available choices are 70, 20, 7, and 3 (totaling 100).

But again this is only an assumption and for some odd reason some monsters are listed twice with two of those paramaters in the same list, like they wanted to give it a higher or custom percentage by adding two other numbers together. Not sure...

I changed one of my new monsters from 20 to 70 and they started showing up a lot more.

Those percentages are pools ... like the 70% (common pool), the 20 % (not so common pool) .. the 7% and 3% being rare ...

Okay...either I am a total space cadet or something worse. For the life of me I cannot figure how to add new items either to a shop or my stock with Mad God's editor.

I think you go to the NPC entries and add it there. I added Glowstones (modified Lazurite Stones) to Fuzzface's inventory and to random drops from several Trynnies. It can't be too well hidden if I found it.

Look for a checkoff on the NPC screen that says something like "always appears in inventory". The box involved will be in the lower right. You may have to double-click on it to get into edit mode. I don't think his editor can modify savegames, just the main game files.

So I could put it into He'Li's inventory...and mayhap go purchase what walked away??
