Editing Monsters (71.dat) (section)

== Who they are ==

Each row has its own description in <code>cpt71.txt</code> ([[#Descriptions]]): the leaders run bandit gangs of their own (the Night Watch, the Jeokjon Band, the Gany Band, the Sound Barriers, the Blue Eagles, the Godon Air Force, the Mondes Band, the Law of the Outlaws, the Explosive Army, the Smile Band), and every Dogof claims to be the heir of the original Dogof. The rest of the data fills in the story.

'''Dogof's history''' (<code>cpt71.txt</code>/<code>cpt72.txt</code>): the original Dogof was a great thief who shook the world some 30 years ago. He founded a bandit nation on Mt. Iraman until the three generals of present-day Gratz destroyed it, and Dogof disappeared.

'''The Dogof legend.''' Townspeople in the NPC dialogue (<code>npcdata/menu</code> 5-220, 5-230, 5-231, 74-18) say Dogof was a legendary, heroic bandit who once destroyed an evil bandit gang on his own. Nowadays every bandit calls himself "Dogof the Nth" ("they've no individuality at all"), and the traditional bandits of Mt. Iraman (이라맨 산) are led by Dogof XVII. The 36.dat charms tell the same story: each is "a charm once owned by Dogof the Nth, a descendant of the great Dogof the Thief who at one time was the cause of great disruption in the world".

'''Dogof XVII''' also exists as an '''NPC''' (5.dat 95, model <code>Nm24</code>). His description (<code>cpt05.txt</code> 95):
: ''I'm Dogof the 17th, the descendant of a great thief. Another chap named Dogof is a fake. There is no relation between that imposter and me! I am a descendant of an unbroken line directly from the thief Great Dogof the First. Ha, ha, ha.''
His dialogue (<code>npcdata/menu/5-95.msgs</code>, summarized from Korean):
* Mt. Iraman is his hideout. He means to conquer the world, which his ancestor never managed.
* His gang, "the bandits among bandits", only "collects a small toll" from travellers in exchange for their safety.
* Asked whether you came to defeat him, he laughs at your courage: the gang is already finished. Monsters killed or drove off all his men and he is alone on the mountain; the crimes blamed on bandits were the monsters' doing.
* There are fakes calling themselves Dogof; the real one is only him. First he has to rebuild the Dogof gang.
* With the authorities on his trail he flees to the Death Desert, the former gang boss now wandering the sands.

So '''71.dat reads as Dogof XVII's gang''': his lieutenants (Great Gets, Chomban the Cask, Unforgiven Gany, Dadas the Speed, Blue Vulture Muo, Darkprince Doran, Macho Mondes, Adow the Faith, Exploder Eidun, Morni) and the numbered '''impostor Dogofs''' (II-XVIII), each carrying one charm of the set.

Three other Dogofs are NPCs too, each with the same boast (<code>cpt05.txt</code> 174-176): '''Dogof XVI''' (5/174, model <code>Nm04_01</code>), '''Dogof XIII''' (5/175, <code>Pm05_01</code>) and '''Dogof XIX''' (5/176, <code>Pm06_02</code>):
: ''I am the bandit Dogof the 16th. There are many men who impersonate me. By thunder! It's despicable! Fame is a double-edged sword! If you have chance to escape from me be sure to spread the word in town that the real Dogof is the 16th.''
Dogof XIII and XIX use the same player models as their [[Monsters (72.dat)|72.dat]] fighting rows (72/17 col24 = 74, 72/20 col24 = 79), so those two are fully human in the data: an NPC to talk to and a player-style enemy to fight.
