[EO] Experience/Level module?

[Valek]

I was wondering if anyone knew where I would find the experience and level code in the source. I am looking in the server source code and can't seem to be able to find it.

CTRL + F hasn't been nice to me in this case, I keep ending up with "Option Explicit" code as opposed to "Experience"

Any help would be appreciated and I will continue to look. Thanks :)

GetPlayerNextLevel

Thanks :) found it.

EDIT: Is there a constant for experience as well? (as it was with 2.7)

Example:
Level 2: 5000
Level 3: 6000
Level 4: 7000
ETC

No. It's a formula.

> No. It's a formula.

Okay, I think I see how it works..
```
GetPlayerNextLevel = (50 / 3) * ((GetPlayerLevel(Index) + 1) ^ 3 - (6 * (GetPlayerLevel(Index) + 1) ^ 2) + 17 * (GetPlayerLevel(Index) + 1) - 12)
```
Can you break it down for me a little bit?
I see that it is running the function "GetPlayerNextLevel" I am not really sure on the logic of the formula though..
'is it "50" because that is the max level a player can attain in my game. I feel so dumb. :(

I have no idea, I was high when I wrote that. Chances are I stole the experience formula from WoW or Tibia.

okay, well I will have to figure it out then I suppose haha :)

Pretty much all the maths in Origins is a public formula from another game like WoW or it's been written by Fabio, Rodriguez or Derg. They're my maths guys. I can't do maths at all because of my discalculia.

You can use the Exp INI Sys by Ballie, it can  be found in Source Code Tuts.

Fairly pointless when a formula can be changed to have any sort of level progression a level list can. Much easier to update as well.

Its compatible with EO? I didn't know that. - I will check it out. Thanks!

EDIT: ya Robin, I agree it would be a faster update. But since I don't understand the logic of the forumla I will be at a loss. My only option will probably be to use the INI sys by Ballie.

Just make your own formula.

Between you and me, I don't have dyscalculia and I still can't write forumla's. I am reading a few VB6 E-books *flips to math based pages*
