Making a custom monster

[Brohemith]

I made a monster and it is not allowing me to import it to RMEs 8.54.
I really have no idea why this is happening becuase i have imported and used monsters before, i think it might be becuase the monster isnt a monster, its an item.

everytime i try to import it it comes up with something that is telling me:

Error uploading file Frosty the snowman, invalid format

Stuff like that and its pretty frustrating becuase im making them the same way i did before except now i use wordpad instead of notepad but if anyone knows how to solve this problem please tell me ASAP.
Than You ^.^

 

[kingi96]

you must add it to monster.xml

 

[Brohemith]

Grrr, still doesnt work

 

[Santi]

Wait, is it a monster or an item lol?

 

[kingi96]

[Brohemith]

Its a monster called frosty the snowman with the ID of a snowman.

Use Codes please, so put any monsters that you don't have on your Server and change content to this monster that you have put on Map Editor.

Add it to monsters.xml.
race "ice" doesnt exist. If you want to use items as lootype you need to change <look type to typeex

[Santi]

<look type="11125" corpse="2111"/>

Lol? What is this? To get a looktype of an item you must do it like this:

<look typeex="11125" corpse="2111"/>

 

[Brohemith]

do i have to indent and shit, becuase i copied ur code and it still aint working, btw ty both soo much!

 

[Summ]

I can't understand you.
This error could already be fixed if you were clever enough to post the errors..

 

[kingi96]

change that <look typeex="11125" corpse="2111"/>

to : <look type="11125" head="0" body="0" legs="0" feet="0" corpse="2111"/>

 

[Summ]

@up
Nah-.-

 

[bodycarcoo11]

Use MOnster Editor

 

[rox666]

Your looktype isnt correct change that then try

Example

when naming the file did you use spaces because the monster file I have seen don't use spaces

file name exptrainer.xml

code to add monsters to server in monsters.xml

<monster name="Exp Trainer" file="exptrainer.xml"/>

Try adding this to your server and then try and add your monster

note:
I basically took a trainer that I edited (just the number values) and copied and pasted the code and added exp
