Skill Points Exploit

[trevius]

I thought there was a bug report on this somewhere already, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now. The problem is with skill points that are earned upon leveling that can be used to train skills at GM NPCs. Basically, the problem is that if you lose your level and level up again, you earn skill points again. This happens everytime you level up even from a rez. On most servers, it might not be a huge issue, but my server has a deleveling system which leaves players with hundreds or thousands of skill points to use for GM training lol.

I was thinking of many adding an alternate field to the _character table that would be for setting the max level that a character has reached. It would only track level ups exceeding it's current value and would never go down for any reason. This means that if skill points were only earned when that field was increased, this bug would be resolved. If added, I think it might be useful for my de-leveling system as well so I could expand it *wink*

I haven't really messed with anything related to the character table yet, so it may take time for me to figure out what all would need to be added and changed for it to work. But, if I get a chance, I will try to figure it out unless someone else has a better idea to resolve the bug.
