Help with sprites

[Techno Vicking]

So I was trying to do something pretty simple, I wanted, for example, change Poring's sprite with a Lunatic sprite, I was messing with mob_db and the only thing I couldn't change was the monster sprite.
I saw that there are ways to use GRF editor to do it but I'd like to ask if there is any easier way to do it, by just changing a txt file.

 

----Example of what I tried to do:

1002,PORING,Poring,Poring,1,60,1,27,20,1,8,1,2,5,6,1,1,0,6,5,10,12,1,3,21,0x83,400,1872,672,480,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,909,7000,1202,100,938,400,512,1000,713,1500,512,150,619,20,0,0,0,0,4001,1

Take that line and change to:

1002,LUNATIC,Lunatic,Lunatic,1,60,1,27,20,1,8,1,2,5,6,1,1,0,6,5,10,12,1,3,21,0x83,400,1872,672,480,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,909,7000,1202,100,938,400,512,1000,713,1500,512,150,619,20,0,0,0,0,4001,1

 

The name would change but the sprite was still the same.

i think sprite is linked to id and youd have to make a new mob or just replace the lunatic spr with a renamed PORING spr

npcidentity is probably why that doesnt work found in your datainfo under luafiles in your grf

You mean opening my data.grf and looking for npcidentity there?

I did found a NPCIdentity.lub there, but I don't know what to do with it e.e

Is there any way to do what I wanted to do?

 

hmmm, ic, thanks a lot!
