Monster List

[R3_1415]

Does anyone know where I can get a monster list for the latest Angband? I have used the one on thangorodrim before, but that site seems to be gone now. I mainly want to see if I can kill every unique. I have been searching for a couple of days now and cannot seem to come up with a list. Or if anyone happens to have a copy of the list that was on thangorodrim that would be great even though it was from a previous version. Thank You

Are you playing a local executable (as opposed to playing on angband.live)? If so, you already have a list!

In the directory for your game, go here: <Your angband directory>\lib\gamedata

Here, you'll see monster.txt . Search through for the "unique" flag/bit of text.


Here's an example of what you'll find, searching for "unique" (notice the flags:UNIQUE | MALE | POWERFUL in there)

name:The Balrog of Moria
base:major demon
color:v
speed:130
hit-points:3000
light:2
hearing:20
armor-class:150
sleepiness:20
depth:50
rarity:3
experience:30000
blow:HIT:FIRE:6d12
blow:HIT:FIRE:6d12
blow:CRUSH:HURT:5d12
blow:TOUCH:DRAIN_CHARGES
flags:UNIQUE | MALE | POWERFUL
flags:DROP_4 | DROP_GOOD
... etc etc etc

... and you can copy the forementioned monster.txt to <Your angband directory>\lib\user and rename it to lore.txt. Now you have a full monster memory in the game.

Warning! There is already a lore.txt file which contains all the monster memory you have accumulated. If you want to save this for some peculiar reason you should first copy your pre-exising lore.txt to an other folder.

Or you can go to the source:

You probably already know this, but in case you don't, if you have a full monster memory you can check your unique-killing progress in-game using the '~' command.
