Questions about exp.cpp

[Thuz989]

I am trying to figure out a problem im having in this thread here...

http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=36253

As part of this i was looking at exp.cpp and i was wondering this...

How is the "conlevel" variable in this set? the default is 0xFF which will stop the con_scaling from working?? It seems like conscaling quit working so im trying to find a workaround but i cant figure out a way to check mob level within this funtion... bleh.

void Client::AddEXP(int32 in_add_exp, int8 conlevel, bool resexp) {

        int32 add_exp = in_add_exp;



        if(!resexp && (XPRate != 0))
                add_exp = static_cast<int32>(in_add_exp * (static_cast<float>(XPRate) / 100.0f));
        
        if (m_epp.perAA<0 || m_epp.perAA>100)
                m_epp.perAA=0;  // stop exploit with sanity check
        
        int32 add_aaxp;
        if(resexp) {
                add_aaxp = 0;
        } else {

                //figure out how much of this goes to AAs
                add_aaxp = add_exp * m_epp.perAA / 100;
                //take that ammount away from regular exp
                add_exp -= add_aaxp;
        
                float totalmod = 1.0;
                float zemmod = 1.0;
                //get modifiers
                if(RuleR(Character, ExpMultiplier) >= 0){
                        totalmod *= RuleR(Character, ExpMultiplier);
                }

                if(zone->newzone_data.zone_exp_multiplier >= 0){
                        zemmod *= zone->newzone_data.zone_exp_multiplier;
                }

                if(RuleB(Character,UseRaceClassExpBonuses))
                {
                        if(GetBaseRace() == HALFLING){
                                totalmod *= 1.05;
                        }

                        if(GetClass() == ROGUE || GetClass() == WARRIOR){
                                totalmod *= 1.05;
                        }
                }

                if(zone->IsHotzone())
                {
                        totalmod += RuleR(Zone, HotZoneBonus);
                }

                add_exp = int32(float(add_exp) * totalmod * zemmod);

You can't check the mob level in that function. conlevel is passed in as a parameter, so you need to look at where the function is called. Assuming you're not in a group and you killed a mob it's called from NPC::Death()

int conlevel = give_exp->GetLevelCon(GetLevel());
if (conlevel != CON_GREEN)
{
	if(GetOwner() && GetOwner()->IsClient()){
	}
	else {
		give_exp_client->AddEXP((EXP_FORMULA), conlevel); // Pyro: Comment this if NPC death crashes zone

You can see where conlevel is calculated and passed there.
