Text block monsters

Post by Papa Smurf »

Anyone have a clue how to fix it when like parts of text blocks start turning into monsters??

"Also here: Blank*, large duergar lord, sword blows and magical fire ."

WTF is that? yeah i've messed with some editing, but i never touched any text blocks or anything like that.. it's not just there it's all over the place.. i dun get it?

Yeah, it'll proll y piss ya off, but nightmare.. I didn't have interest in editing much

so i took the quick easy route.. Mostly I just use nightmare to look-up stats on items.. It works great for it:) hmm.. edited monster exp, simple things like removing that #### seehidden from guards, A few funny items. and added a couple monsters.

Well, from what I have heard..nightmare has some porblems when adding somtimes. That might have caused yoru problem, not really sure, sinceI have never seen it first hand (prolly never will unless I suddenly have hex editing amnesia )

Anyway, might go back, check your edits, see if things look right. Best thing I can recommend is check the files manually with an hex editor.

yay.. i fixed it!.. i tried copying the monster file over again that didn't work.. so i copied the text message vir over the dat and it cleared the problem.. which is odd cause i never messed with the text messages.. too much of a pain.. well, after the screw up i removed the vortex delay, but the monsters were already messed up..
