Thanks for the suggestions. I am planning on adding monster density and spawn sizing - just trying to learn enough about it to do so somewhat accurately. Looks like monstats.txt holds MinGrp and MaxGrp fields that determine group size, and levels.txt holds MonDen - which indicates how densely populated an area is. Those should help.
Also trying to estimate XP from unique/boss packs. Just from quickly reviewing the txt files there's some intriquing areas like Up & Lo Kurast, with the lowest monster density overall but each with 7-9 unq groups in hell.
Also will be adding avg HP's and relative HPs under each resist (i.e. 50% fire resistance means a 1000HP monster will have 2000 'fire' HPs.
