==How to generate the main page==
Since this is an redirect page now, we could use <nowiki>{{I18n|page=Monsters}}</nowiki> to link directly to the correct English page. By doing it that way would reduce a useless click. However this would break the link to the Italian language version. Any thoughts about this? [[User:EJlol|EJ]] ([[User talk:EJlol|talk]]) 07:17, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
The main article is generated by a python script that creates the monster page in wikicode from the eAthena configuration files. Please use the python script to update the page, as manual changes may be overwritten by someone pasting in the results from the script below.
 
The python script will write the ''complete'' Monster reference page to stdout (standard output). Then it is only a matter of copying and pasting in that text. If you want to edit the introductory text or add images, please do so in the script below.
 
The python script takes the following arguments:
 
mobdbtowiki <path to item database> <path to monster database>
 
If you run <code>dbtowiki</code> without any arguments, the script will try to find the files <code>item_db.txt</code> and <code>mob_db.txt</code> inside the working directory.
 
=== The python script mobdbtowiki ===

=== Strength of Red Scorpion ===
Wasnt the RED scorpion supposed to be a miniboss? that HP seems kinda low for one :o
--[[User:Bear|Bear]]
 
Cool, I was thinking about bosses too.
I believe that Red Guy is like a boss. There are too many snakes and spiders, a DRAGON should be a good idea for a boss. But ONLY ONE DRAGON, please.

=== Accuracy/Evade ===
Wouldn't it effective to put down the accuracy and evade rates of enemies as well? It would help take the guessing game out and prevent further deaths of players via play-testing. (Esp. mountain snakes)
Since I am making an evade character, it would be nice to know the % to hit so I can adjust my evade accordingly so I dont go overboard and be weaker than I could be.

Since this is an redirect page now, we could use {{I18n|page=Monsters}} to link directly to the correct English page. By doing it that way would reduce a useless click. However this would break the link to the Italian language version. Any thoughts about this? EJ (talk) 07:17, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
