You want to check the sanity of the rule setting, to stop a crash when accessing the array if someone sets it to an invalid value:

Code:
// figure out if they should lose exp
	float GetNum [] = {0.005f,0.015f,0.025f,0.035f,0.045f,0.055f,0.065f,0.075f,0.085f,0.095f };
	int Num = RuleI(Character, DeathExpLossMultiplier);
	if((Num < 0) || (Num > 9))
		Num = 0;
	float loss = GetNum[Num];
	exploss=(int)((float)GetEXP() * (loss)); //Angelox: lose % of total XP pending rule (choose 0-9)
I would also change GetNum & Num to more meaningful names.

Thanks - I'll let it stand around here a few days before committing it all, incase anyone else has more ideas.
I wasn't really sure why this never got in, probably just forgotten I guess.

Just a thought, but couldn't we just set the rule to the % of a level we want to lose on death instead of predefined options?

common/ruletypes.h
Code:
RULE_REAL ( Character, DeathExpLossLevelPercent, 20) //1 yellow of exp lost on death by default. float for a little more accuracy if needed
zone/attack.cpp
Code:
// figure out if they should lose exp
	float loss = RuleR(Character, DeathExpLossLevelPercent) / 100.0f;
	exploss=(int)((float)GetEXP() * (loss)); //Angelox: loose % of total XP
SQL:
Code:
INSERT INFO rule_values VALUES (0, 'Character:DeathExpLossLevelPercent', 20);

I went ahead and put it in as I originally had it, since it's based on what cbodmer posted and was running on the Rathe server for a long time now (Derisions addition included).
Not that I think it's any better than yours, I'm just sure it all works as is since it's all been tested doesn't show any problems. The variable experience thing was what I added, and I tested it all week too.
It's always up for change anyway.

Cavedude; I saw you put back the old exp multiplier back? You can take the one I put in out if it's no good.
