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

Discussion
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)
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)
- 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 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 | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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%) | |
|
Flower Stationary |
1014 | 700 | 0% | 70-75 | 375 | 110 | Petal (5%) Coin Bag (4%) Apple (1%) Arrow (1%) Empty Bottle (0.10%) |
|
|
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)
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.

[SOLVED] 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.
[SOLVED] 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)
