so another line of experimental updates is released and i updated it to the latest version. but when i start the game with my usual modlist. an error comes from PK’s Rebalancing, and the error is invalid monster flag. i’ve tried to fix it by myself but it turns out a lot of invalid monster flag happens.

list of invalid monster flag : (REGENERATES\_50), (REGEN\_MORALE).

replace the flags by entries

```json
      "regenerates": 10,
      "regen_morale": true

```

ohh nice, it becomes simple then, i love it…

sadly its not only one monster group so i have to tell PK’s rebalancing author to do some fixing.

Oh never mind I see the problem  
put the regenerates entry outside the flags array and not in capitale.

What about the REGENERATES\_IN\_DARK flag? Does anybody know how to fix it?

Added it as an input as a boolean, but don’t really know if it works that way

Wraith from monsters.json has it used in the same way:  
“regenerates\_in\_dark”: true,
