Hello,
Hopefully someone can better answer this for me.
I want to use mobprogs for the Rom24b6 code base.
I see that when I want to "add mobprog" it says I need the command.dat and socials.dat, which are part of SMAUG.
I am curious though.. Can I modify the Command/Socials.dat to reflect ROM code and thus allow me to use them accordingly?
I have added personal mobprogs directly to the area file I am working on, but if I modify the file with area editor, it removed the mobprog.
Finally, if there is a way to modify the smaug files to reflect ROM code style... Where would I find the information in the rom files to aka copy/paste or edit.

UPDATE:
After playing with AE, I have this result.

should look like this at the end.

and at the bottom of the file

**********************************************

What I am trying to determine.. How do I modify AE to allow me to place it correctly in the area file and in the correct format?

If anyone can help :)

Have you tried File -> Preferences -> General -> "Save Programs in ROM Areas"?

Yeah,
That is when I was able to save it in that format.
It just puts the mobprog right under the mob.
When in a rom area file, the mobprog goes down to the end of the area file itself. It doesn't do that with AE.

If they all go down the end, you could just save them (in a separate file), edit the area with the Area Editor, and put them back.

The format of SMAUG areas (and ROM too I think) has changed a bit over the years. If you want to make it keep being compatible you may have to download the Area Editor source and make the necessary changes.
