SSM Mobs

Changing the list of available Mobs (Mobs.list)

Whenever you add, delete, or rename a Mob, you have to make sure the Mobs.list is correct. The Mobs.list file is located in \Versions\VERSION ID\SSM\Mobs.list

This file should include the name of every usable Mob. If a Mob's name is not in this file, its files will not be loaded by the game.

Removing a Mob

To remove a Mob, all that has to be done is take its name out of the Mobs.list file. This will prevent it's files from being loaded even if they're still in the folder.

Renaming a Mob

To rename a Mob, follow these steps:

1. Change the line of the Mob you are renaming in Mobs.list. If you were renaming Pig to Porky, then you would change the line of Pig to Porky.
2. Find the NAME.list file located in \Versions\VERSION ID\SSM\NAME.list and change the first line to the new name along with renaming it to the new name. If you were changing Pig to Porky, then you would change the first line to Porky and rename Pig.list to Porky.list.
3. Find the image file called NAME.gif located in \Versions\VERSION ID\SSM\NAME.gif and rename it to the new name. If you were changing Pig to Porky, then you would rename Pig.gif to Porky.gif.
4. Find the files of NAMEAttack.txt``NAMEPrimary Special.txt``NAMESecondary Special.txt and NAMERun Away.txt and change the name to the new name. If you were changing Pig to Porky, then you would rename PigAttack.txt to PorkyAttack.txt and so on.

Creating a New Mob

Generating New Files

You will need to create the following files when making a new Mob all located in \Versions\VERSION ID\SSM\ (replace NAME with the name of your Mob): NAME.list``NAME.gif``NAMEAttack.txt``NAMEPrimary Special.txt``NAMESecondary Special.txt and NAMERun Away.txt.

It is advised that you place them all in a new folder and move them into \Versions\VERSION ID\SSM\ once you're finished.

NAME.list (Stats)

Your NAME.list file will contain the following information in the following format:

Name

Attack

Defense

Speed

Health

Simply set the first line to the name of your Mob and the rest as the values you desire. ALL THE NAMES HAVE TO BE THE SAME! If you have the file named Ghast.list and the first line is Gheest or ghast it will not work.

NAME.gif (Sprite)

For this, just make an image with the extension .gif. It does not have to be animated (multiple frames) but it can be. Note that the average size for this image is 100x100 and while other sizes will work, they may be undesirable.

NAMEAttack.txt, NAMEPrimary Special.txt, NAMESecondary Special.txt, and NAMERun Away.txt (Descriptions)

These files are simply the descriptions shown when an attack is selected. These are not required and have no set guidelines but should be used in this format:

Attack Name:

Attack description
