Leveling past 50.

[Etaew]

In GamePlayer.GainExperience method

Code: Select all

else if (Level <MAX_LEVEL>= ExperienceForNextLevel)

does removing the max level bit allow you to level from 50 to 51?

[Dinberg]

I'd guess so, but this is odd for Etaew to be asking a question!

Try defining a level 51 to be like 10 exp points more than level 50, and see if setting max_level to 51 allows you to level past 50.

It's my guess anyway, but as far as I know you cant get past the max level - but in theory if you remove that then itll allow you to level on provided there is a next level.

Might causes errors if you level 'off the chart' though, because it'll be pulling out a 'next level's required xp value' out of a non-existant field, which I *guess* could cause some sort of crash.

So make sure you define all the levels after 50 heh.

I would just go redefine MAX_LEVEL and set it to the desired ammount... then add the xp values like Dinberg said

[Overdriven]

Anything >51 makes all your items grey

[Dinberg]

Whats this for anyway Etaew, got a new idea for extra levels?

Would love to hear.

[Crazys]

I was going to set up my server with redone xp incriments and change max lvl to 75ish-100.... but there are alot of things that you would have to calculate and add to the spell DB it would take ALOT of work

[Etaew]

I'm just lazy and don't fancy testing things , just wondering if anyones tried it, plus, it's a big project, I don't know everything.

Was thinking about adding a server property for max level, to give servers the ability to level past 50. Colours are definately a problem though, my level 100 GM most things are purp to me, whether this is client side, or calculated and sent in a packet is another thing I don't know.

[Dinberg]

At a guess it would be sent to the client wouldn't it? Well, I guess that because in server rules you can choose what colour the client is to display names/guilds/mobs etc, so I presume it must be coded up somewhere on the many packets heh

[Etaew]

The server rules handles the colours above heads, but not when you target something.

[Dinberg]

Ahh ok, I wasn't aware of that heh.

If Mythic's put a cap in to exclude anything over 50, I wonder if it's possible that they didn't put one in for under zero? It would probably be much mroe effort than payoff, but you could start players at -5 and work them up to 50, where old level one is level -5? But as I say, it probably isn't worth the effort because 90% chance is it wont work at all, the other 10% it wont be eprfect heh.
