grrr...I have to bring out the hex editor don't I? Crying or Very Sad

That's a laugh. No, no hex editor for this.

NPC combat, spells and abilities are determined in several ways and in several places. BRAIN, CCombatAbility*Def, COMBAT_SEQUENCE, COMBAT_TYPE, ATTACK_PATTERN, even a few variables in CCreatureDef, CWeaponDef, CPerceivedThingDef can make a difference in combat, even if small. There are also probably a few things we don't know about that can affect combat. Not to mention the actual CREATURE entry, or CAppearanceDef (animation assignment). And some creatures, especially heroes, have unique CDefs specific to particular battles. So there are a lot of things involved, but at least you don't need a hex editor. Razz

Spells... see what you can find in BRAIN, COMBAT_SEQUENCE (will have a name that suggests COMBAT_STYLE) and COMBAT_TYPE, see if you can find anything. If they have special CDefs (that have the name of the creature in them) then that entails a whole new level of work as you may need to do some corresponding TNG work placing markers.
