5 Level loss on AA exp and Rez

[Huppy]

Was doing some testing after a level 70 player indicated he lost 5 levels from
one death after he switched over to 100% AA exp. I tried this out myself,
and definately lost the 5 levels. Then I tried it at 90% AA exp and still lost the
5 levels. BUT at 80% AA exp (and below), I only lost experience, as normal.

Then when I summoned my corpse and gave it a rez, I lost 4 levels fromm the
resurrection. I'm looking up in to the sky "Ok, what did I do? Huh?" Hahahaha

Targeted (Corpse): Huppy's corpse
Stand close to and right click on Corpse to try looting it.
You say, #castspell '13143'
You regain some experience from resurrection.
You LOST a level! You are now level 66!
You LOST 4 levels! You are now level 66!
You are out of food and drink.

Post your rule_values values for DeathExpLossLevel, DeathExpLossMaxLevel, and DeathExpLossMultiplier.

SELECT * FROM `rule_values` WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Character:DeathExpLoss%';

[Huppy]

This is the dump from that query

My source is different, but my setting on one server is .01 for Character:DeathExpLossMultiplier

[Huppy]

Well would that multiplier be used in all scenarios of death ?
As I mentioned, this is ONLY when AA exp is turned on to 100% or 90%
Anythng else, is normal exp loss.

I'll take a look at any test cases I can whip up on my local server and see if I can diagnose and fix the problem.

Ya, I'm really kind of stumped, not that I haven't been before, but this one has
wiped the grease from my gears, hahaha

[provocating]

Oh, I failed. I did not read the OP. Yeah that is more than likely because of the max levels you have set. None of my servers go over level 65. If it is not solved by tomorrow I will play around with your settings to see if I can replicate it.

[Huppy]

The main reason I set that max to 85, is because the server lvl max is 85.
I figured I couldn't set the character max death loss to a lower lvl than the
players would eventually be. (I think I got that right), hahaha

Have you edited your source at all?

Nothing other than the botspellsai.cpp for that fix Uleat gave me for stopping
the bots from spawning pets. Works pretty good, haha
But absolutely nothing else in source is modified, just straight git pull.

[Uleat]

(65 * 65 * 65) * 1.0 = 274625

(70 * 70 * 70) * 0.8 = 274400
(70 * 70 * 70) * 0.9 = 308700
(70 * 70 * 70) * 1.0 = 343000


Have you checked the database to make sure that none of this is client-related?

[Huppy]

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea when an issue like this would of come about.
In all the years, I have played with emu server, I have never tested out the AA system.
This was the first player who ever got that far on my server, so far to collect AA's

No, I haven't looked at the thought of it being the client side, I can say though,
both that player and myself (testing) are using UF client. Mine is HoT hybrid, but
his is not

[Uleat]

This is the definition of the xp packet struct: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...tructs.h#L1507


There are no translators for this packet..so, all clients are receiving the server-generated one.

No idea if that's correct or not, though...


EDIT: (I know there are 3 experience fields in the later clients..)
