Okay, never click "Just quit" on permadeath mode. I had only walked a few steps and thought there was no point in saving if I wanted to take a break for a while. Turns out it deletes your save. :smithicide:

[QUOTE=Nerts;31156477]Steamapps/common/dungeons of dreadmor/game/monDB.XML has all the monster's stuff in it. Make a back up before you change anything, obviously, I have yet to poke at any other files in there.[/QUOTE] Here's a quick how to on editing monsters. [CODE]- <monster type="1" subtype="1" name="Blobby" level="0" tiny="1" splat="goo"> <idleSprite left="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_run_l.spr" right="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_run_r.spr" up="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_run_u.spr" down="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_run_d.spr" /> <attackSprite left="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_atk_l.spr" right="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_atk_r.spr" up="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_atk_u.spr" down="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_atk_d.spr" /> <hitSprite left="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_hit_l.spr" right="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_hit_r.spr" up="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_hit_u.spr" down="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_hit_d.spr" /> <dieSprite name="sprites/monster/blobby/blobby_die.spr" /> <sfx attack="small_attack" hit="small_hit" die="small_die" spell="small_spell" /> //That whole section is what sounds and animations the monster uses, blood splatter type, and the name the game refers to it as. <ai aggressiveness="3" span="4" /> <stats numFig="2" xpValue="5" /> //no idea what numFig is, xpValue is self explanatory, don't know what span is, aggressiveness is how likely it is to attack you, ignore you or be scared of you. <damage crushing="1" acidic="1" /> //attack stats, does 1 each of crushing and acidic, just writing the name of the damage type in works when adding things, spelling it wrong will break the game though so spell check when adding asphyxiation. <secondarybuff id="4" amount="-5" /> //buff id is what secondary characteristics it has, works the same as it does for the PC, there maybe be more for squid ink, corruption attacks, ect. 4 is crit chance though, because that's what the comment below says, so this creature has -5 crit chance. I'll try to see if I can find a list of what the IDs correspond to. -  <secondarybuff id="6" amount="9" /> -  <secondarybuff id="0" amount="2" /> -  <resistances acidic="3" /> //This shit works same as before <info latin="(Gloppus Gloppus Generis)" text="It's a blob of animated slime, possibly from an adventurer's armpit." /> //This is the tool tip text, make bad jokes here.[/CODE]

After I had trouble getting through the first three levels without dying, I decided to lower the difficulty to Dwarf and turn off permadeath. Now the game is a lot more fun. What are you guys currently rocking in terms of difficulty?

I have it on easiest because I'm a noob

I'm on easy with permadeath off, all I really want to do right now is find cool loot.

I just got into it and have been doing medium and perma death, but after a recent retarded death (got crit for more than half my health by a sidequest boss, right after i beat a monster zoo and got good loot) i'm going to try it without permadeath for a bit

Pretty fun, got to floor 3 on Elvish, then died trying to disarm a trap.

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;31157215]Pretty fun, got to floor 3 on Elvish, then died trying to disarm a trap.[/QUOTE] Disarming traps is like russian roulette for me, I always think "Oh, I know I'll get it [I]this[/I] time." I usually gamble on the last couple hit points and die.

Hmm...I wonder if the explosion from a cube-in-cube situation would at all help with a monster zoo..

Ooh, another question. What's everyone's skills? Here's mine: [IMG]http://gyazo.com/963427e527bc226c603e841990f8eb99.png[/IMG] I'm not sure why I picked up alchemy, as I never use it. Maybe when I restart, I'll pick something better.

I rocked Random and got Swords, Viking Magic, Beserker Rage, Assassination, Shields, Archaeology and Alchemy. I can basically one-hit everything with my like 11 piercing damage sword, I can only not one-hit Deths, which are still two-hits. Easy on Permadeath mode though.

Here's Mine: I tried to for a huge damage per hit character so i could one shot everything. [img]http://gyazo.com/bec3d920af20476b74e5fefe7926651a.png[/img] and i just learned that with smelting one ore makes 2 bars. if i knew that i wouldn't have sold my ore. FUCK!

Dual wielding, swords, Assassination, Deadshot, Berserker Rage, Burglary, master at arms fuck magic acquire swords

Second play on medium permadeath. 12108 after rape by deths. 'tis a sad day.

Swords, Berserker Rage, Golemancy, Fleshsmithing, Magic Training, Archaeology, Smithing. I really want the fedora but I have to have golemancy to deal with the monster zoos. Three walls blocking the entrance+ Invive Thaumite Swarm = monster aids

[img]http://i51.tinypic.com/6pn4w5.png[/img] My current character. Just defeated my first monster zoo without even getting close to dying so it's working pretty good. :)

Oh god. [img]http://gyazo.com/6ff78593dfcc0d1d19b5690c3ea982a3.png[/img] i have defeated floor one and two zoos but three im scared.

If anyone is interested in TF2 hats, I'm making an offer in exchange for a gift of this game. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1090629-The-Items-for-games-trades-Megathread-v2?p=31159004[/url]

Staves and dual wield? lol One of the staves skills is actually wielding a staff with two hands. you'r screwd. :v: Also, I don't advise guys to take both the men of arms skill and magic skills. Since heavy armor greatly lowers your magic potential.

Here is my skills : [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4801646/Images/DoD.png[/IMG] Works pretty well but I have to be very careful because I lose health fast. (Especially with the bats and the red diggles)

How come I can't take pictures with Steam in this game?

Killed Dredmor, turns out you don't show up on the score board unless you die, you are, indeed, supposed to lose :v:

[QUOTE=Nerts;31160052]Killed Dredmor, turns out you don't show up on the score board unless you die, you are, indeed, supposed to lose :v:[/QUOTE] On what floor was he? My most powerfull adventurer (a tank) was pretty boring once I could one hit everything with my uber stuff, so I went ahead and made a noobie rogue instead.

Dredmor was on level 10 for me. I'm not sure if it's random or anything. Is the 10th level the lowest you can get to?

After losing my warrior/rogue hybrid character to a Pumpkinn at level 4, I've decided my next character will be a wizard. Also, if you're not playing with permadeath on, you're doing it wrong.

Yep ten floors, eighth and ninth aren't that hard due to the awesome gear (I found) there.
