Color prefs

[Pete Mack]

I created a "cheat monster knowledge" character, and created a pref file for monsters, using most of the old colors for monsters, with some modifications taking advantage of the 11 new colors.
Also attached is a feature pref file, although it only has two changes: gold (not yellow) for permanent rock, and cyan for summoning traps. (The former is easy on the eyes; the latter helps with visibility.)

Just from an aesthetic point of view, I prefer the 'z' colour for permanent rock in the expanded terrain set.

Other than that, it is possible to spend ridiculous amounts of time tweaking monster colours around...

Right--that's why I made a pref file after wasting 20 minutes. Any improvements are welcome.

Why make a pref file instead of editing a local copy of monster.txt?

I only have to do it once, and it's a lot easier using the knowledge menus to do the editing.
