Unique->MonsterType mapping is not position independant about devilutionx HOT 3 OPEN

So should an id column be added to maintain order?

from devilutionx.

There already is an ID colum (at least in the TSV data), we just need to search the array for the right monster rather then just assuming that it's on MonsterData[MT_BASEMONSTER]

for (auto &baseMonster : MonsterData) {
   if (baseMonster.ID == MT_BASEMONSTER)
    // oh here it is
}

If it's not in the struct then it need to be added and we need to parse for it. We should probably also add a MT_CUSTOMMONSTER or something like that so new monsters won't have to pretend to be some original monster type.

On a related not currently the game will crash and burn if you try to cut down the list. So we probably should handle cases where a monster type isn't found (but just concluding that there won't be a Snotspill quest if there is no Fallen Ones, or something to that effect.
