MasterSword: Continued mapping - Monster scriptfile list

[J-M v2.5.5]

Updated on the 9th of June 2008 - see file for changelog.

I've created a list with monster scriptfiles for MasterSword: Continued. The list contains the scriptfiles for every single monster you can find in the game.

Be it rats, boars, bats, bears, spiders, goblins, bandits, zombie Dwarves, cultists, Orcs, undead, zombies, unholy, trolls, other monsters (such as horrors or sharks) or harmless monsters (such as the hawk), they are all in this list.

You can download the list (DOC file) here:
http://www.mikkel.me/msc/msc_monster_scriptfiles_v1.006.doc (thanks Mikkel!)

Thothie's, more complete, but messier and unprocessed version here:
http://www.thothie.com/msc_dev4/monster_list2.html (Last update for this one is OCT2019)


All other information regarding the monsters can be easily found in the list. This file is a true must-have for any MasterSword: Continued mapper.

Developers, rest assured: this list contains scriptfiles for monsters, and scriptfiles for monsters only. As you can see for yourself by downloading the list, there are no scriptfiles for treasure chests and/or items in this list.

Edit: Thanks to Kuroneko for stickying this!

Eventually I'll get to adding these to the wiki, together with width and height, for placement, and maybe some sort of difficulty rating.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Thothie, I am going to ask you a question, and you won't like it: Can you get me the exact HP values of every monster?

 

[Thothie]

Not in any simple fashion that'd be worth doing. Although I am going to have to write up a script that extracts all the width and heights - could toss that function in.

HP doesnt mean much though. A lot of these creatures have damage reductions, and damage/sec (which is v.hard to calculate globally) is also a major difficulty factor.

An extreme example would be the Calrian Queen Spider vs. The Iron Spider. Iron Spider has 800hp - Queen has 2000hp. They do about the same damage. But the Iron Spider will win against the Queen every time, because it has MASSIVE damage reduction.

There's also something about the way HP ramps at a certain number, and I've yet to figure where that number is. Suspect some weird math going on at the code end.

PS. The wi-fi here SUCKS ASS. ><

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Yes, damage and damage reduction are important factors in monster strength, but there has got to be a way to get an overall impression of a monster's difficulty.

Oh, on a side note, the reason I made this list is the WIKI's lack of organization in the script list. That's not meant as an offense to anybody, I just find it hard to find my way in that list. And it's not complete.

 

[ceriux]

good job J-M u finnally did it !!!

 

[evilsquirrel]

ah but J-M, calrain and his brother aren't undead

after all, the iceblade still has full effect on them

i'd say unholy...also, how are you deciding what is and isn't a boss

 

[Kuroneko]

And it's not complete.

It was complete before SOMEBODY started adding scripts!!

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

My bad, sorry

 

[Thothie]

Well, it wasn't quite complete before the newer sc.dll's either, but it was certainly closer.

Re-orginizing / completing that wiki set is on the long list of "sh*t I gotta do"... Sadly, it was also on the list of "sh*t I was hoping to have done before I got back home." - sadly, no such luck. That pile of sh*t I gotta do is getter rather massive...

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Thothie, we've got to talk about Crow's second map series one of these days. I've tested all of them except for Underkeep, and there are only two serious bugs I found: GoldmoonNorth crashes everytime, and if you fall into the acid pool in Riverwind2 the game crashes (complaining about max. luxel size or something vague).

Anyway, that means GoldmoonSpawn, GoldmoonSouth and Riverwind1 work perfectly

 

[Thothie]

There are issues in Riverwind2 I wouldn't be able to fix without a re-compile. Crow's still lookin for those. Riverwind1 needs some NPC shuffeling. The others are town-mall maps, so not much call to restore em.

Underkeep is probably going to wind up in MSC 1.1 as a bridge between Goblintown and Gatecity.

 

[Crow]

found em

all cept riverwind 2, which had some wierd error after the first compile and was unusable afterwards

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Wait, you lost the source to Riverwind2? Because that is the only one I actually need. I managed to make all other maps playable, but Riverwind2 still has one weird bug that involves falling into a pool of acid and running out of luxels ( )...

 

[evilsquirrel]

my snakes on a plane map also had a bug related to luxels...something about a null texture being too large...or something...

anyways, i've never seen these maps...so, i look forward to playing them

(how many are there?)

 

[Jelly]

There are 5 maps

 

[evilsquirrel]

well, i hope they get put to good use

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

The second map series of Crow consists out of six maps, and not five.
- The Goldmoon Refuge (three maps: GoldmoonSpawn, GoldmoonNorth and GoldmoonSouth)
- The Riverwind Trail (Riverwind1)
- The Riverwind Forest (Riverwind2)
- The Underkeep (underkeep2_fancylights)

 

[evilsquirrel]

wat was thier purpose? i saw somewhere that underkeep was just for show and had no monsters in it...

dont remember where that was...but, was it anything like CotBG or WW?

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

GoldmoonSpawn has a secret area
GoldmoonSouth has shops
GoldmoonNorth has shops and a hidden area involving some rat killing
Riverwind1 involves protecting NPCs from dozens of rats
Riverwind2 is a gauntlet map (kill <...> to move on to <...>)
underkeep2_fancylights looks real good, has a hidden area, and shops

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

The list has been updated! See the first post - or better yet, download the file to see the full changelog!

 

[Netrogor]

Hmm?? Planes on a Snake?

Like a week before that movie came out one of me friends (sadly none of you will ever meet him, since he lives nearby me & dislikes this mod) he made his MSN name Planes on a Snake

For some reason I can't really seem to discover... that little mix-up is really funny

[Littlefrodo]
