Ability to level past 89ish?

[trevius]

Nice work, Shendare! So, it sounds like we could just change the sint to a int32 and get quite a few more levels out of the int32. Using that formula, it should be able to go to level 112:

int32 max is 4294967295
112 (111*111*111)*3.1*1000 = 4239656100
113 (112*112*112)*3.1*1000 = 4355276800

How many levels are you needing to allow exactly, Secrets? If it is less than 113, then it sounds like the solution might not be too bad. If it is more than that, I am sure it could be worked out, but would probably take more work/code to do it.

[Shendare]

Actually, you must have misunderstood.

While I have identified that the problem is almost certainly an sint32 (or perhaps just an "int") somewhere in the code, I haven't found where it is yet.

Well the subject is definitely out of scope for the actual trunk

What are you talking about ??? This is Eqemu the max level on LIVE right now is 85... And will soon most likely be 90.. So this issue really should be looked into and fixed..

Max level for Underfoot (next expansion) is staying put at 85. It'll be at least another year and a couple months before we get another level increase.

Either way, as long as it isn't hindering normal servers at all, and isn't a massive amount of extra code, I don't see any reason it couldn't be added in for servers wanting to make use of higher levels. We know there are at least a few out there that do want to or do already.

Sorry to sound like a tool here and uneducated, however just looking at this from an outsiders standpoint wouldnt it just be easier to set XP required per level to 50% and then just modify the XP rates down to 50% as well allowing for 188 levels without rolling over the numbers?

And for hitting 254 or 255 then couldnt one just reduce XP required to level down to say 15% of its current value and then reduce xp rates to 15% as well allowing more than enough room for the 254 levels without pssible rollover?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

yeah there is no reason to use 1,000 to represent XP from 1 to 2, when you could use say 100, or even 20
and then max level could be much much higher - isn't it?

I will take all 254 please
better do it just once and never have to worry about it again

I ended up writing my own formula to allow it, heh. But it is more than 112, but even then, this is a very nice advancement.

The solution was changing the 1000 multiplier to a lower number. It allows for a smooth progression.

[trevius]

I wonder if that multiplier should be made into a rule that defaults to 1000. Might not be a bad solution for the servers out there wanting to go higher. I know there aren't many, but a rule might not be a bad option. I am not sure on the details of how exp is sent to the client though, so not sure how changing that might effect leveling rates and such.

This is why I cried custom feature. :(
