[fixed/closed]Deck editor filters: creatures list

Hi all. The filter for creatures in the deck editor (the one that can be opened by right-clicking on the creatures button) is not working well.
There is an empty "slot" in first position and there seems to be a mess with some creature types: selecting advisor, I get a Lamia; selecting Lamia I get nymphs and selecting Nymphs I get advisor.
Wonder if this has relevant consequences with the rest of the game.

OK forget the earlier post (now deleted) the problem is in the @CREATURETYPES order in the menu.txt file. It currently reads:

Zubera
Nymph
Advisor
Lamia
Sable
Head
God

According to the Subtypes.h file the type code sequence lists Nymph after Lamia. As in:

Zubera
Advisor
Lamia
Nymph
Sable
Head
God

The blank at the beginning of the @CREATURETYPES list is a space left due to Advisor being assigned a new type code in the last update (previously 0h, now E0h) and being reordered in the code sequence.
Edit: According to the Text.res file the currently blank entry should read 'None'.

The issue regarding the bad entries for these creature types has been reported here not long ago.

Indeed - Needs a link in the other post to this one showing both the Text.res file and the menu.txt files are similarly affected by the types list needing correcting.
