I wanted to add an option to NMR to multiply just boss exp, as I see lots of peeps doing that and guess they are doing it by hand. Here is the thing, how do you determine if a monster is a boss? I was going to do it based on the "Limit in Game" field. I figured if any monster has a value greater than 0 in that spot it would be a boss ... until I read this (http://mmb.forumshq.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3932) thread this morning about the purple worms being limited to 10. so that just throws that idea out of the water. any idea what could be used to signify a boss? it can be multiple things too like "if gamelimit > 0 AND if montype = stationary" (but that won't work either since not all boss's are stationary).

I personally would determine a boss being a limit 1 monster. If there's more than 1 it's not really a boss is it? That's something that probably has varying opinions, but it's a great idea.

so only if gamelimit = 1? are there any boss's that people know of that would be different?

Nope..every boss is limited to 1.
Unless you include Warmongar of Blood, which is limited to 5 I believe..because they're like "mini-boss buddies" of the dreadlord.

Good point Jedi, that would also go for the Druid elemental spells as well..
The bosses that start as non-hostile, and turn hostile upon being attacked.

what about anything that has a greater than 0 limit. i mean if it changes exp of non attackable npc ect that wont hurt anything. Or you could always just exclude things like bartenders ect.

I would just go with game limit = 1
And maybe put a disclaimer or a little side note when doing it that says there maybe be a couple exceptions ..
I remember editing all the bosses in my board.. it sucked!
