How to change mobs look

[warzie006]

Hi all,

I have a question:

How to change the guards and the monsters look? simply because I know have a cow instead of a pheasant and a DarkGuard instead of a Guard 1 or 2.

with kind regards, warzie006

I wanna say monster.dat or you can just modify the meshes of each.

Go to your database and look in Monster Info.
There, you'll see the meshes (bodies) of each monster.
I'm not sure what the body codes are. I haven't
researched that yet.

Here's how you can read them if you're using the 5165 "Fixed" source:

Melee Monster Example:
 
 
1 Pheasant 1 104 1 33 0 0 0 5 6 1 27 2 True 2 1 50 1000 12 True
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1 = ID, the ID is what is used to call it to the game from a spawn. This can be anything.
Pheasant = Name of the Mob. This can be anything you want.
1 = Mob Behavior (Listed below).
104 = Mesh, this is how the mob looks (gotten from Monster.dat).
1 = Level required to kill it.
33 = Max HP.
0 = Defense.
0 = Magic Defense.
0 = Magic Attack.
5 = Minimum Attack.
6 = Maximum Attack.
1 = Damage Reduce Times
27 = Dodge
2 = Attack Type. If it's 2, it's physical.If it's 21, it's magic.
True = Gives Items and Money.
2 = Attack Distance.
1 = Minimum Silvers Dropped.
50 = Maximum Silvers Dropped.
1000 = Move Speed.
12 = Spawn Speed. 12 is normal. 3 is high. It can be any number. (Useful for quests).
True = Gain Exp from Damaging it

Magic Monster Example:
97 Guard1 6 900 250 50000 2500 70 50000 0 0 100 70 21 8036 0 False 18 0 0 500 3 False
-----------------------------------------------------------------
97 = ID, the ID is what is used to call it to the game from a spawn. This can be anything.
Guard1 = Name of the Mob. This can be anything you want.
6 = Mob Behavior (Listed below).
900 = Mesh, this is how the mob looks (gotten from Monster.dat).
250 = Level required to kill it.
50000 = Max HP.
2500 = Defense.
70 = Magic Defense.
50000 = Magic Attack.
0 = Minimum Attack.
0 = Maximum Attack.
100 = Damage Reduce Times
70 = Dodge
21 = Attack Type. If it's 2, it's physical.If it's 21, it's magic.
8036 = Magic Skill it uses.
0 = Magic Level of skill it uses.
False = Gives Items and Money.
18 = Attack Distance.
0 = Minimum Silvers Dropped.
0 = Maximum Silvers Dropped.
500 = Move Speed.
