Now you need to find a nice sprite for your monster.

Now let's play.
= Balance
If you have played against it you will have seen that the creature is either too weak or too strong for its level.
So you can run games.stendhal.tools.BalanceRPGame <name of creature> and it will give you correct ATK, DEF, HP, XP for the level you placed. It is important to choose a good initial values so that it works. The balancer bases its output on the configured creature level & HP values. So those two values must be decided on & set in the XML configuration. Before running the balancer ATK, DEF, & XP can be set to any value as the balancer ignores these.
<span style="color:green; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">IMPORTANT NOTE:</span> ''The balancer does not make any adjustments to configured creatures nor does it report whether or not a creature is balanced in its current configuration. It only outputs suggested ATK, DEF, & XP values based on the creature's current configured level & HP values. It is up to you to manually change any configured creatures' stats.''

#* To display XP suggestion, add the <code>-Dshowxp</code> option:

=== Ant Command Line ===
<span style="color:green; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">NOTES:</span>
* To run the balancer using the <code>ant</code> command, you will need to have [https://ant.apache.org/ Apache Ant] installed.
* Currently this method does ''NOT'' support running the balancer without any creature name arguments.
* Currently this method does ''NOT'' support displaying XP suggestion.
Steps:
# From your command line, navigate to the root directory of the Stendhal source.
# Execute the following command (replace "name" with the creature you want to balance):
#* <code>ant balance -Dcreature="name"</code>
#* Multiple creatures can be processed at once by simply adding multiple creature names separated with whitespace: <code>-Dcreature="lion tiger bear"</code>
#* Creature names containing whitespace '''''must''''' be enclosed within nested double or single quotes. Examples:
#** <code>-Dcreature="\"mountain orc\""</code> ''(single creature)''
#** <code>-Dcreature="'mountain orc'"</code> ''(single creature)''
#** <code>-Dcreature='"mountain orc"'</code> ''(single creature)''
#** <code>-Dcreature="'mountain orc' orc"</code> ''(multiple creatures)''
