- A more important thing: It seems there is a big problem that the ratman will not attack enemies that are closeby. You click the enemy, nothing happens. Run away far enough, try then, and it works.. keep the mouse button depressed and he keeps attacking, as well. is this an animation problem with some animations not being present for the ratmen?
Oh, and I borrowed a precompiled map since an "empty" map doesn't work. but would like to know how to make a map that bumps you back to the title screen like the exitocs map does, since it would prevent errors and make the build properly complete...
Help appreciated.

Hmm, not sure why the Spear anim doesn't work. Keep in mind there are two Ratmen meshes, are you sure you are using the right one (there are the small scrawny ones and the big rat kings).
The attacking problem, oh yeah, that took me too a while to figure out. You forgot to fill in the AttackTurnright/left180, AttackTurnright/left90 and turnright/left90/180 fields in the Attack animation tags! These are necessary, otherwise when your character needs to turn to attacka monster, it has no animation to play. The sad news is... regular monster animation doesn't work for this. I know, I tried with the Lamiae and Jackalmen. You'll have to use the regular PC's such anims. Since such turn-around attacks happen fast, it's not a huge issue, but the ratman's legs will go in weird ways during this (you can test it in viewer).
