7 hours reverse engineering. They simply got too much time on their hands.

And too much knowledge

[Super Aids]

That too

My apologies, I never knew that about the spawn packet. I still don't believe this is the best option though - it looks horrible. Why not use a mesh that has equipment attached to the player then? I know you're taking things from different games, so why not take some monster meshes of players from the other games?

Because the point was to make it dynamic.

[LordGragen.]

coz this way its dynamic and have noting to do with client side,

+ think about it gives you so many options, you can create 100 type of girl and boy monsters,

if i had to use client side then simply adding monster.dat will do the job dont even need to do any mesh thing.

That you can change things at runtime + you can generate unique sets of weapons/armors for each monsters even if they were of the same type.

[LordGragen.]

here is few things explaning why its better server side and thank *** i didnt do the mistake going for monster.dat

1. even if they download other client then yours the monters will still be how you want.
2. think you can make monsters ware items any type, any garment
3. and this is not 100% but i think you can even make monsters use steeds XD which is epic.

also making the server side you give them sick avatars and boom, you got your self a sexy monster.

But!!! having server side can have his problems, if you check here you will see my latest update telling what need to be done to make this system work correct

[Super Aids]

You can make them use steeds as well, since steeds is also a part of the spawnpacket.

[LordGragen.]

yes but when you attack with steed it disable it.

[Super Aids]

Only if you make it so. The riding effect is not removed by the client
