Yeah, it's pretty simple: Take the pid (like 16777252), remove 16777216 and you'll get the critter pro number (in this case 36). 16777216 is actually 0x1000000 for the curious). so you modify the proto\critters\00000032.pro.

You can modify the items weiled iusing the "Item" specifyer. Apart from the pid, everything's pretty well documented in the worldmap.txt

Maybe Your game crashes, because You've added new encounter... Try to use fallout city patch, posted on DAC on 27 IX. It removes limit of cities/maps in the game, so maybe it will affect Your problem too...
