Monster.xml and Monster.lua

[VictorOtInfinit]

Where i can find a tutorial to make this change:

Monsters.xml to Monsters.lua

all my monsters are in xml type, i want to make them a lua type.

I have found:
monster xml to lua converter · EvilHero90/forgottenserver@139bcfa (https://github.com/EvilHero90/forgottenserver/commit/139bcfac50e440ada9e4df83897fc18910d0359c)

But i didn't get what this talkactions script does >/

It converts all existing MonsterTypes into lua files, exactly what you're asking for.

Place the Lua monsters into this folder. /data/monster/lua
inside of /data/monster find the file named monsters.xml
Remove all monster entries that are duplicates of the Lua monsters. (in this case, it would be the entire list) (delete or greentext <!-- -->)

The Lua monsters should now automatically take their place.

Hello Xikini

I made it all
moved all new lua files to data/monsters/lua.
and i changed data/monster/monsters.xml to this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<monsters>

</monsters>

still same error

[Error - Monsters::loadFromXml] Failed to load data/monster/monsters.xml: File was not found
> ERROR: Unable to load monsters!
>> No services running. The server is NOT online.

maybe could something inside sources missing? i added this commit

@johnsamir keep in mind that Lua monsters are not 100% fully tested yet, and neither supported by RME

and also I recommend you to use this converter by @soul4soul instead:

Release v4.0.0 · soul4soul/ot-monster-converter

What's Changed Support for converting between server and client item ids Major updates to TibiaWiki Converter Fetch item ids, missile ids, and effect ids from the website New template serializer ...

@Evil Puncker thank you. I have converted monsters.mon from cipsoft to revscripts and they are loading but monster are not loading into map.... how to workaround this? maybe a missing commit that is in another link?

thank you all in advance
Including Xikini

i was configuring monster.xml wrong
have to put lua monsters inside /data/monster/lua and xml monster inside data/monster/monster
inside data/monster the monster.xml folder and is working with few errors but might be easy to solve

thank to @Evil Puncker @Xikini
i have released converted cipsoft files into lua for people as i know many people what to have real monster into their downgraded datapacks
