Other than that the monster is terrible, this is your problem:

 

cr_default_agression = 50;

 

should be

 

cr_default_aggression = 50;

 

I highly recommend to you Alint . It spots these problems in moments.

i know it's terible

Also, there are several illegal values there. Monster levels can't be higher than 100, and I'm pretty sure total monster HP (base+bonus) can't be higher than 32767. And since the maximum damage from an attack is 32767, and any value higher than that will wrap around and probably count as 0 damage, you should rejig Strength and melee attacks as well.

 

Since it looks as if it's the kind of monster that the party is really Not Supposed To Fight, why not just give it 100% resistance to all damage and give it a creature script that kills the party if it's ever hostile?

[Kelandon]

Syntactically? Nothing, I think. Are you getting an error message?

[Lilith]

Uh, a piece of armour shouldn't have an it_weapon_skill_used field.

[Phish Phlot]

I'm geting an errer that says "the editer just failed to load this graphic: sheet 129, icon one..."

[Kelandon]

Are you trying to use a custom graphic? If so, it should be numbered between 500 and 600.

 

The sheet, that is.

[Phish Phlot]

Now it does not have an errer but it won't show the graphic.

[Kelandon]

Try to give slightly more information when you need help, please. I'm having a horrible time figuring out what you've done.

 

So is the graphic actually numbered something between 500 and 600 in your custom graphics file? Does your script now match up to that? Is it a properly formatted graphic (bmp on PC, PICT resource on a Mac)?

[Drakefyre]

You're only giving it a floor graphic - you need to give it a regular graphic too.

Jaaari's Creature and Item Editor Tools might be useful too. You can get them here .
