About combining several monster modes.

[zHep]

Hi! Can someone help me with this?

I'm kinda working on a mob editor application and i'm having hard time understanding how to combine these monster modes. Can someone explain how it works?

Especially when you are trying to combine a lot of modes. I feel like the doc/mob_db_mode_list.txt is not complete coz there's no guide on how to combine these modes.

Thanks in advance! And sorry for bad english. Lol.

Use the bitwise OR operator, for example (MD_CANMOVE | MD_LOOTER).

thanks for the tip @Nitrous. already found a solution. hehe

it's actually a web-based item and mob database editor, so i found some way to compute hexed numbers.

In javascript, just use "toString(16)" to get the hexadecimal value of a number. while in PHP, its dechex(decimal to hex) and hexdec(decimal to hex). I just need to add the decimal value of the mode first then i just use these codes to get its hex value.

Windows calculator has this built in if yoy switch to programmers mode.

It's a lot easier to work with hex though. Because each character will always exactly have 4 bits (1, 2, 4 and 8) and then you just need to add those together and you have A=10 to F=15.

 

So if you have modes 0x0001, 0x0004, 0x0008, 0x0020, 0x0800, 0x1000 and 0x2000 you can just calculate it in your head: 0x382D

With decimals you'd probably need a calculator.
