    Default Creature.txt

    Hi folks,

    After hours of searching until the last page of the internets I come here with questions regarding editing creature.txt.

    I have the original DK CD; well copied but the 1st version with the latest patch.

    Also I have the editor v 1.03 tool. I want to be able to add hero creatures coming from your portal. In the stats like creature Tunneler, requirement room Lair, 1 tile.
    Like other hero creatures, they just won't come out of a portal. (in skirmish or campaign missions). What am I doing wrong?
    Some 5 years ago when I played this game last, I was able to add these creatures with another editor/ program but can't remember which program that was.

    Was also able to higher up the limit of 17 creatures coming out of the portal(s) to like 30 or so.

    I tried copying all level files to the hard drive and add in the level.txt files the maximum creature amount and add_creature_to_pool or creature_availablilty but also no effect.

    Help would be obliged!

    You're probably looking for Enslave. Alternatively just open the creature.txt in excel or something and it should be pretty easy to edit.

    I'm assuming the game is still referring to the files on your disk. You need to do a full installation of the game by copying over the levels, data, and ldata folders. There should be a file called KEEPER.cfg as well. This is what tells the game where your DK1 is. As said before, it's probably referring to your disk drive. Change it so it properly directs to your DK1 folder.

    Hope this is the issue and my advise helps.

    It took a few minutes to find a workable link to download Enslave.
    And it also worked.
    Thanks, son!

    MGR does sound suspiciously confident about it.

    I remember reading somewhere than 1/3 of people (fathers and children) who didn't do the DNA tests are misled about who the father is.
