14 texts, which means 2 bytes representing 2 bitfields, no?

The game code at $b187 has the attack texts, but I do not know how the code references them.

You will not find any table without the corresponding code. Sure, I can provide you the code extracts, but would it help you? I already provided you the code extracts for the attack texts. Could you understand these code? Do you know what it does? If not, use google for a command-reference and go t...

Dude.

How am I meant to search the code for tables?

I mean, really.

So does that mean there's tables for the hitpoints as well?

Also, it shows that a few monsters have their minimum hit points higher than their maximum...

I'm not convinced that either one of us has identified the bytes correctly.

Consider byte #$14. It is supposedly the max # of monsters.

Going by that, one should never encounter more than 2 Wolfmen. However, it is clearly possible to encounter as many as 6.

So....uh...yeah....

Referring to what exactly?

Apparently the subroutines $BDCD using .X and .A is the solution.

Who knew?

Byte 1d doesn't appear in the monster roster entries, so where does it come from?

Maybe I'm just plain stupid, but I can't seem to comprehend those code extracts for beans.


Mmm, beans. Time for lunch. Or supper.

byte 00 to byte 0f is the name including plural of the name. Then: byte 10 and 11: HP max byte 12 and 13: HP min byte 14: number of monsters byte 15: low byte: advance speed; high byte: unused byte 16: AC byte 17: used for XP calculation byte 18 to byte 0B: attack type (e.g. melee attack, spells, b...

Well I'm coming along in programming a monster roster editor of sorts for BTII. I've managed to perfect :? the way it loads the name, including processing the flag that indicates if the name has a singular/plural suffix. https://i.imgur.com/vPw2bho.png My next hurdle is figuring out how to display t...
