adding monsters

need a little help with this, when i add a monster to the monster.csv i take an exact copy off another monster for EX: 306 Cleaver the Butcher, and i make it say 5049 and call it big boss...how in the hell can i get it to NOT dc me ingame when i spawn it?

to me that would indicate something wrong in the file....or make sure that the monster.csv is the same on client and server....send me a copy of your monster i can look and see...

well see thats what is bothering me, how can their be somethign wrong with the file when...all i did was copy and past from a dif mob, rename it and then put a dif index on the back...nothing has changed other then the index and name.

EDIT: they are the same on client and server.

ok well that don't make much sense.....what you got in the shapeinfo column for this new monster....i'm just trying to explore a solution....

lol i dont know how u cant be understanding this....i cant spell it out anymore then it already is. it is an EXACT COPY! of the other monsters but with a different index and name.

EX:
5049 Big Boss
306 Cleaver the Butcher

5049 i made up i took and EXACT COPY from 306 and gave it a different name and index. they of course both drop 2 different things. other then that they are the same.

nothing has changed other then the index and name of monster.

Remember to make an AI for the new mob too. So you need to place a new entry in the Info.csv with the new index (you can copy the values from the real mob).
