[etools] Creating new monsters and races

[zyzzyr]

Does anyone know how to create a new .mon or .rac based on an existing .mon or .rac file?

never tried it. but I'd say logically to try making a copy of the mon or rac file with a different name, opening it up, and editing it

Copy the file and rename it.
Then open it up.
Works for chr files and tbl files too!

Hi,

That worked pretty good. Thanks.

However, it doesn't seem to let me change the "type" of monster. I want to add the "half-dragon" template. I need to change the type, and increase the hit die.

I take it the only way I can do this is by statting it out myself, then entering it as a completely new race with the race editor?
