3.0.0.0 (3/17/2002)
- Total monster count listed under "Monster Classification" as "Creatures Total".
- All monsters in default dataset (monsters.csv) now listed under "Type" and "Name".
- Monsters only in the CoD dataset (fauna.csv) are denoted with [C] after their "Name".
- Monsters only in the default dataset (monsters.csv) are denoted with a [D] after their "Name".
- "Experience" now listed under "Statistics". This value comes from AC:DM Strategy Guide.
- "Attack Height" moved under the second column of "Additional Info".
- The center area has been broken out so that both "Protections" (for melee/missle) and "Resistances" (for magic) can be seen. Previously only a single set of values had been shown, but that did not properly represent the fact that what melee, archers, and throwers contend with may not be the same (and in some cases are not the same) as what mages contend with. The decision to do this is based on information provided by Turbine in answer to a Q&A question.
- Developed a ranking system for protections and resistances based on the need to have all the various data elements supplementing each other in a manner that should mean less unknown (???) values overall. For more info see the acmonster web page: http://www.net-marks.com/acmonster
- Fixed problem with moving and reinstalling of ACMonster on a system. ACMonster now checks for its data files in the directory in the registry. If it does not find them in that directory (either they don't exist or the directory does not exist), the ACMonster will reset its data directory to its own directory (the directory where the acmonster.exe file resides).
- In the advent that data files are still not found, ACMonster will now run fine without them (no crashing), and the data files can just be able to be downloaded by the user from their respective sites.
