Thanks to Greven for my first Exp problem. now here is my second. i've changed the whole exp system around. i need much less than normal. to level it's (level*70)+ expbase. so now every time my character levels, he only needs 70 more xp to level again. i want the exp counter to set back to 0 after you level. example.

i have 2,630 xp of 2700

i get 75 xp on a kill and i level.

so now i have 5 xp of 2770

any ideas?

here's where i think i should be:


/* xp cap to prevent any one event from giving enuf xp to */
    /* gain more than one level - FB */
    modgain = UMIN(modgain,
    	exp_level(ch, ch->level+2) - exp_level(ch, ch->level+1));

    ch->exp = UMAX( 0, ch->exp + modgain );

    if (NOT_AUTHED(ch) && ch->exp >= exp_level(ch, ch->level+1))
    {
	send_to_char("You can not ascend to a higher level until you are authorized.\n\r", ch);
	ch->exp = (exp_level(ch, (ch->level+1)) - 1);
	return;
    }

while ( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR && ch->exp >= exp_level(ch, ch->level+1))
    {
	set_char_color( AT_WHITE + AT_BLINK, ch );
	ch_printf( ch, "You have now obtained experience level %d!\n\r", ++ch->level );
	advance_level( ch );
    }

i'm guessin i'll need something that would reset the exp back to 0 but also give the overflow of xp on top of that.

i had to restart my comp. but i'm gonna try this.


while ( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR && ch->exp >= exp_level(ch, ch->level+1))
    {
	set_char_color( AT_WHITE + AT_BLINK, ch );
	ch_printf( ch, "You have now obtained experience level %d!\n\r", ++ch->level );
	advance_level( ch );
       ch->exp = ( 0 );   <------there    
}


see if that works.

ok, that's an easy little fix. it doesn't bring the extra xp over to the new level, but it resets it to 0. 





now another EXP thing. 



i get 12 xp for the kill on a perfect match, but with the damage bonus, i total like 70 xp. i want to take out the damage bonus and just make it to where i could get about 70-100 xp on a perfect match con. my xp min is 0 xp max is 180. i'm not really sure on where to look on this one. but i'll go look a few.

i'm guessin this is somewhere that i need to look. 

it's under int xp_compute




xp	  = (get_exp_worth( victim )
    	  *  URANGE( 0, (victim->level - gchlev) + 10, 13 )) / 10;





i tried changing the 10 at the end to 5 to see if anything would happen. didn't see anything. here's this as well




/*
 * Calculate roughly how much experience a character is worth
 */
int get_exp_worth( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
    int exp;

    exp = ch->level * ch->level * ch->level * 5;
    exp += ch->max_hit;
    exp -= (ch->armor-50) * 2;
    exp += ( ch->barenumdie * ch->baresizedie + GET_DAMROLL(ch) ) * 50;
    exp += GET_HITROLL(ch) * ch->level * 10;
    if ( IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_SANCTUARY) )
      exp += exp * 1.5;
    if ( IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_FIRESHIELD) )
      exp += exp * 1.2;
    if ( IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_SHOCKSHIELD) )
      exp += exp * 1.2;
    exp = URANGE( MIN_EXP_WORTH, exp, MAX_EXP_WORTH );

    return exp;
}

sh_int get_exp_base( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
    if ( IS_NPC(ch) )
      return 1000;
    return class_table[ch->class]->exp_base;
}




so i'm thinkin it's in there. and i'm probably lookin right over it. it's 1 am here so probably.



thanks for any help. i think i'm headin to bed and i'll finish this tomorrow.

I still haven't been able to figure out what's all going on. I'm going to look at it a little bit more later tonite. anyone have any thoughts?
