==How to generate the main page==
==How to generate the main page==
The main article is generated by a python script that creates the monster page in wikicode from the eAthena configuration files. Please use the python script to update the page, as manual changes may be overwritten by someone pasting in the results from the script below.
The main article is generated by a python script that creates the monster page in wikicode from the eAthena configuration files, the script can be found on the [[Talk:Monster reference/scripts|scripts subpage]].


The python script will write the ''complete'' Monster reference page to stdout (standard output). Then it is only a matter of copying and pasting in that text. If you want to edit the introductory text or add images, please do so in the script below.
''Please use the python script to update the page, as manual changes may be overwritten by someone pasting in the output given from running the script.''


The python script takes the following arguments:
== Strength of Red Scorpion ==
 
mobdbtowiki <path to item database> <path to monster database>
 
If you run <code>dbtowiki</code> without any arguments, the script will try to find the files <code>item_db.txt</code> and <code>mob_db.txt</code> inside the working directory.

Wouldn't it effective to put down the accuracy and evade rates of enemies as well? It would help take the guessing game out and prevent further deaths of players via play-testing. (Esp. mountain snakes)

Since I am making an evade character, it would be nice to know the % to hit so I can adjust my evade accordingly so I dont go overboard and be weaker than I could be.

[[User:Siorinex|Siorinex]] added links to quests from item drops, while a generally speaking great idea, I think such information has a more practical use in the [[item reference]]. For now this information will be lost by me updating the page with the script, but [http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Monster_reference&diff=10632&oldid=10625 here is a link to the changes].
Some thoughts on what could be done:
* Have specific wiki page for each item, then the monster drops could be linked to their respective pages.
* Leave the items out of the [[monster reference]], but add a link somewhere to the [[item reference]].
For now I will add a link to the item reference. To create individual item pages is something I am not prepared/willing to undertake. In any regard I think such a thing would better wait till the move to tmwserv or at least till after a rebalance of the current game. ✎ [[User:Kess|Kess]]<sup>[[User talk:Kess|☽]]</sup> 14:56, 9 November 2008 (CET)

Revision as of 13:56, 9 November 2008

How to generate the main page

The main article is generated by a python script that creates the monster page in wikicode from the eAthena configuration files, the script can be found on the scripts subpage.

Please use the python script to update the page, as manual changes may be overwritten by someone pasting in the output given from running the script.

Strength of Red Scorpion

Wasnt the RED scorpion supposed to be a miniboss? that HP seems kinda low for one :o --Bear

Cool, I was thinking about bosses too. I believe that Red Guy is like a boss. There are too many snakes and spiders, a DRAGON should be a good idea for a boss. But ONLY ONE DRAGON, please. --BrightCiro (Ciro Leonardo, the char)

[FIXED] Agressive/nonagressive monsters?

Is there an easy way to list this attribute? Hoogli 21:02, 18 April 2008 (CEST)

Another column for attributes (aggressive, cowardly, etc.) or name highlighting. — Jaxad0127 01:48, 19 April 2008 (CEST)
I will take a look on this the next time I am working on the script, unless someone else wishes to take a look? (This is the first time I’m working with python.) ✎ Kess☽ 23:45, 28 October 2008 (CET)
Ok. Last night I added this information to the script (not updated on the wiki yet). But I am not sure how to show it, a few suggestions follows. I did not want to put it in an additional column as the table is quite wide already (it will soon, if not already, get too wide for narrow screens/windows).
The traits that TMW currently uses are as follows (either on/off): Moveable/Cannot move · Loots/Does not loot · Aggressive/Does not attack on sight · Assists/Does not help its friends · <A trait that may be related to a boss; currently Santa Slimes and Spiders have this, unsure what it really does...> · Has attack/Does not have any attack. Which ones should be shown, and more importantly to me, how? Suggestions welcome. ✎ Kess☽ 14:00, 30 October 2008 (CET)

Formatting examples

Version 1—‘unusual’ mob traits listed below the name

Image Name ID HP DEF ATT EXP JEXP Drops
Spider.png Spider
Loots
Aggressive
Assists 		1012 800 4% 70-85 375 280 Treasure Key (5%)
Apple (1%)
  • Doesn’t look good, though the formatting could be changed. Not sure about this idea. In my current version of the python script this is how I tested it; the following is displayed: Cannot move, Loots, Is aggressive, Assists, Do not attack. ✎ Kess☽ 14:00, 30 October 2008 (CET)

Version 2—aggressive mobs has their name listed in red

Image Name ID HP DEF ATT EXP JEXP Drops
Spider.png Spider 1012 800 4% 70-85 375 280 Treasure Key (5%)
Apple (1%)
  • Well works quite nicely for aggressive. But the other traits? ✎ Kess☽ 14:00, 30 October 2008 (CET)

Version 3—a combination of the two previous alternatives

Image Name ID HP DEF ATT EXP JEXP Drops
Plant-Alizarin.png Alizarin Plant
Stationary 		1032 1 100% N/A 1 1 Alizarin Herb (30%)
Alizarin Herb (30%)
Alizarin Herb (30%)
Silkworm 1035 1 2% 0 1 100 Silk Cocoon (50%)
Sleepflower.png Flower
Stationary 		1014 700 0% 70-75 375 110 Petal (5%)
Coin Bag (4%)
Apple (1%)
Arrow (1%)
Empty Bottle (0.10%)
Spider.png Spider
Assists 		1012 800 4% 70-85
Aggressive 		375 280 Treasure Key (5%)
Apple (1%)
Picks up loot
  • I think I like this the most, but I have not yet decided upon where to put the traits or how to format them. ✎ Kess☽ 14:00, 30 October 2008 (CET)
I support this one. Those locations are fine too. — Jaxad0127 14:12, 30 October 2008 (CET)
This one is used for now. Script updated and main page regenerated. ✎ Kess☽ 16:52, 30 October 2008 (CET)

Accuracy/Evade

Wouldn't it effective to put down the accuracy and evade rates of enemies as well? It would help take the guessing game out and prevent further deaths of players via play-testing. (Esp. mountain snakes) Since I am making an evade character, it would be nice to know the % to hit so I can adjust my evade accordingly so I dont go overboard and be weaker than I could be.

Scan9

I am personally unsure whether I would want to display these secondary stats (secondary as in calculated by some formula from the primary stats). ✎ Kess☽ 14:56, 9 November 2008 (CET)

[FIXED] Broken Link

This link at the top of the monster list ( [1]) returns:

" An Exception Has Occurred

The root "viewcvs.cgi" is unknown. If you believe the value is correct, then please double-check your configuration. HTTP Response Status

404 Repository not found "

This needs to be fixed.

Fixed in an earlier revision. ✎ Kess☽ 10:32, 28 October 2008 (CET)

[FIXED] Question

What's MOBP? Mob points? Someone changed Job Exp. for Mobp. in the monster table. I didn't changed it back because i don't know what it is. Gring0 19:36, 28 October 2008 (CET)

I think Kess meant monster points (for the "quest" in Tulimshar). THose aren't stored in the monster DB yet. I changed teh script back, feel free to regenerate the page. — Jaxad0127 20:26, 28 October 2008 (CET)
Yes, I do not know what I was thinking making that change. I probably had a very “bright” moment or some such. The main page will be updated shortly. ✎ Kess☽ 23:45, 28 October 2008 (CET)

Links to quests

Some thoughts on what could be done:
