I find it hard to believe that actually worked. Theres no way the server software could have been so vulnerable to be able to allow the client to funcition like that. to say nothing of the fact what you are describing is replacing the graphic, not the actual monster.
It would definately not work with the new client.
and 3.5 floppies?! thats alot of floppies....
That's just about replacing the graphics, not replacing the monster itself with his stats. You see another monster, but it's still a living tree. It doesn't have anything to do with the server.
I see that it's still working :-) I remember about switching several monsters because I wanted to see how powerful monster looked like.
I think it was like 35 mb, zipped, so it was like 20 floppies.
Want to read something even funnier about it?... I was missing important TOS files, so the client was just crashing with I was trying to enter TOS. I was a new player back then and didn't know how TOS looked like. Instead of just crashing, when I was entering TOS, the game would throw me in my hometown (that was CN at that time). My friend was trying to tell me on phone how to reach TOS, I was very confused. The week after I was able to get the full client and I discovered TOS :-)
I think that on those free trial servers. You know.. those servers where you could only have a 5-day account and then you had to reroll. That was just because 3do realized that there was a huge community of players on that server, not paying for the game and rerolling each 5 days. That's when they decided to create Raza.
