# Readme

readme:
This database contains all the monster information for NPPAngband 0.2.2.  The user can easily make changes to a monster, add new monsters, sort  the monsters, and print out a new list. It contains all the information to print out a monster.txt file, or updated graf.xxx files for the graphics preferences.   It can be used as a spoiler file, development tool, or to do things like re-arranging the monsters in order of depth, a task that would take hours editing the monster.txt file.  A few things about this database…It does not have a user interface that allows anyone to use it at the push of a button.  Some knowledge of Access is required to do anything more than make changes to current monsters.……………………     1)  There are several main tables, titled Monsters (the basic monster info), Descriptor flags, and Spell Flags.  2) If field names are changed in the Monsters table, the macro that prints out the monster information needs to be changed.  In the flags databases, the print macro prints out the name of the field, so that needs to prefectly match the defined constant in NPPAngband (UNIQUE, DROP_GREAT, etc…)  However, if you add a new field to either of these tables, it will automaticallyget printed out for any monster with that flag checked.  Any non-boolean flag added to descriptor or spells table will not print out.  3) to add a new monster, records have to be added to the monster, descriptor flags, and spell flags fields, and the field called "ID" have to have the same number associated with it.  These three tables are tied together in a query called "Complete Monster Database".  There is also a form with this title, this is where the user should spend most of their time editing the monster database.  There are also buttons to print out the monster sections of the graf-{foo} files, or a new monster.txt file that can be dropped into NPPAngband.    4) Visual Basic is a relatively slow language, and there is a lot of information to print out.  The print monster macro takes about 10 seconds on a 733mhz Pentium III computer.  Thanks to Juergen Frieling for some great advice in making this database and the macros.
