In a message dated 96-04-04 15:06:30 EST, you write: Actually, with a little creative coding, you could still use "standard" mob files. When you modify the code to read in the new bitvectors from the .mob file, you can have it check for something BEFORE the new bitvertors, like a ~. If it doesn't see a ~, meaning there is no new bitvectors for this mob, it would ignore and go to the next thing it normally reads in. - Brian >You'll most likely have to add another field for the mobs.
