The last time I did this is quite a while ago, but as far as I remember the checklist for adding a new monster is the following:

Gameserver:
1. Add a new entry to mob_db.txt with appropriate stats and a new monster ID
2. Add spawn areas for the monsters

Client:
1. add the graphics to data/graphics
2. add an XML referencing the graphic to data/graphics
3. add a new entry to data/monsters.xml referencing the XML file. If I recall correctly there was a fixed offset between the monster IDs in the server and the monster IDs on the client.

Updateserver:
1. Ask the guys who know what they are doing to create and release the update ;)

Solve your problem with the client data on http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... 8&start=15 first, and the answer to this question will become obvious.

For the client data, I download it from a test git repo.
You can use the main repo at: http://gitorious.org/tmwdata. Use similar process as you did to download the server files.

I edit client data locally and push it back to the test repo for later inclusion into the main data repo. To test the client data locally I add:
-u -d "path to client data"
at the end of my client shortcut. I assume this forces the client to use the data on my hard drive instead of connecting to a hosted update server.
