About Metin2 Mob Proto Editor
The Metin2 Mob Proto Editor gives private server admins a clean browser-based interface for editing mob_proto.txt — the file that defines every monster, NPC, boss, and stone in the game. Mob balancing is a constant task on any active server, and doing it in raw text or raw SQL is slow and error-prone. This editor makes it fast.
What mob_proto contains: Each row in mob_proto.txt defines a single mob with ~50 columns: VNUM, name, type (MONSTER/NPC/STONE/WARP), rank (PAWN through KING), combat type (MELEE/RANGE/MAGIC), level, base stats (STR/DEX/CON/INT), HP, damage range, defense, EXP, gold drop range, attack and move speeds, AI flags, elemental resistances (fire, electric, magic, wind, poison), weapon type resistances (sword, dagger, bow, etc.), immune flags, skills (vnum + level for up to 5 skills), and special ability HP thresholds (berserk, stoneskin, godspeed, deathblow, revive).
Smart UI for complex fields: Type, rank, and battle_type show named dropdowns instead of raw strings. AI flags appear as labeled checkboxes (aggressive, berserk, coward, etc.). Resistance columns use 0–100 numeric inputs with a visual color indicator (green = low resistance, red = high resistance). Immune flags (stun, slow, curse, etc.) are shown as checkboxes. Skill vnums resolve to names when known.
Validation: Duplicate VNUMs are flagged. Out-of-range values (e.g. HP of 0 or negative defense) are highlighted. Row count is always shown.
Common balancing tasks: Adjust mob level and scale HP/damage/defense proportionally, change aggro range, tweak EXP and gold drops for economy balance, add elemental resistances to make a boss harder, set a mob's resurrection VNUM to make it spawn another mob on death.
Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rank field in mob_proto and how does it affect gameplay?
Rank determines the mob's tier: PAWN (normal mob), S_PAWN (strong normal), KNIGHT (mini-boss tier), S_KNIGHT (strong mini-boss), BOSS (boss), KING (world boss). Higher rank mobs get bonus HP and damage multipliers from the game engine, and boss/king rank mobs trigger different loot rules in mob_drop_item.txt.
How do the resist_ columns work?
Resistance values in mob_proto are percentages of damage reduction. resist_fire = 50 means the mob takes 50% less fire damage. Values can go above 100 (which means the mob heals from that damage type) or be negative (extra vulnerability). The editor clamps display at 0–100 but accepts values outside this range for advanced use.
What is the resurrection_vnum field?
When a mob with a resurrection_vnum set dies, it spawns the mob with that VNUM at its location. This is used for multi-stage bosses (phase 1 boss → phase 2 boss on death) or for mobs that spawn adds when killed.
What does the aggressive_hp_pct field control?
This sets the HP percentage at which a previously passive mob becomes aggressive. For example, setting it to 50 means the mob will start attacking players once it drops below 50% HP, even if it was non-aggressive before. Set to 0 to disable.
Can I edit NPC mobs here too, not just monsters?
Yes. All mob types are stored in mob_proto — monsters, NPCs, warp gates, stones, and special objects. Filter by type using the search bar or the Type dropdown filter to show only NPCs or only MONSTERs.
