XP Level System

[theaxiom]

This is an XP (level) system that is based upon the race, level system created by atticus. Original post: Atticus589 Presents >RCL< ver-1.

Last Update: 04/16/2006

I am not taking credit for this system, I am only improving his system as he has not even replied to his thread for some time now. I am only taking credit for the work I have done and any future work I may do.

You can add this system to a shard at any stage of development, new or old. You can also remove it just as easily. It will not interfere with any distro systems.

I have removed the races from this system, I have removed the special items from this system, I have reworked the code to about a 10th the size of the original code, and I have added some great extra features that I thought should be included in a level system.

Previous features:
Earn experience for crafting, or killing.
Gain levels by earning a certain amount of experience.

Removed features:
Race system.
Special items available for purchase with points.
Harvest xp. (Will add this back in at a later date if there is a demand for it.)

Added/Improved features:
Ability to respec (redo) skills. - You can now use skill points to turn down your skills.
Crafting XP now based upon the skill required to craft the item.
[nolevels command to allow players to either use the xp system, or the standard skill gain.
(Once players choose to not use the xp system for their character, it will not let them switch back.)
More balanced xp gain system, raised the maximum level to 50.
(After level 50, players earn "After Experience", when they earn a certain amount of "After Experience" they earn skill points.
Players can not gain more than 10% of their current level from killing one creature.
If a player does not have the veryfire stone in their pack, this system will automatically add it.

Planned features for future releases:
Preventing players from over-equipping wearables.
Perk system, every 10 levels, players can choose a special ability.

If enough people need assistance removing atticus's race level system, I will create a how-to. Just let me know if you need any assistance, you can do that by replying to the thread for this script.

All input welcome, suggestions, comments, questions, etc. I would especially like to know what features people would like to see in future releases.

I do know that I have VERYFIRE.cs in my scripts, I looked like 3 times and it says I don't,

[theaxiom]

Whoops looks like I ended up deleting a line of code that was important.

Open SkillCheck.cs and look for this:

using Server.Mobiles;

and add this below it:

using Server.Items; // XP system

I am updating the zip file instructions now. Thank you.

[tindin156]

try adding ether to the tope and see if the fixs it

using Server.Gumps;
using Server.Items;

[Donky-Bull]

ah, thank you this system is great!

Only problem now is from this I am guessing, I can't log in, I try and the server crashes as soon as I do

[advani]

just add the skillcheck distro and is more easy ....

If you use the distro SkillCheck then your players will gain XP and they will gain skills at the same time, which defeats the whole purpose of the XP system.

Only problem now is from this I am guessing, I can't log in, I try and the server crashes as soon as I do

I will see if I can figure out why the server is crashing, what is the error you are getting?

I have reviewed the instructions for installing this script and have cleaned them up a bit to make them easier, especially this bit:

---------------------------------------------
Scripts\Engines\Craft\Core\CraftItem.cs
---------------------------------------------
Search for this line:

		if ( gainSkills ) // This is a passive check. Success chance is entirely dependant on the main skill
			from.CheckSkill( craftSkill.SkillToMake, minSkill, maxSkill );

Replace it with this:

		if ( gainSkills ) // This is a passive check. Success chance is entirely dependant on the main skill
		{
                    // Begin XP system

                    Mobile m = from;

                    m.Backpack.FindItemByType(typeof(VERYFIRE));
                    int m_Exists = m.Backpack.GetAmount(typeof(VERYFIRE));
                    if (m_Exists == 0)
                        m.Backpack.DropItem(new VERYFIRE());

                    VERYFIRE v;

                    v = m.Backpack.FindItemByType(typeof(VERYFIRE)) as VERYFIRE;

                    int amount = Convert.ToInt32(maxMainSkill * 10);
                    amount = Convert.ToInt32(amount * .5);

                        if (v.EXP >= 10000)
                        {

                        }

                        m.SendMessage(88, "You have to gain {0} XP to gain another Skill Point.", v.LevelXp - v.EXP);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (amount > v.LevelXp * .1)
                            amount = Convert.ToInt32(v.LevelXp * .1);

                        v.EXP += amount;

                        if (v.EXP >= v.LevelXp)

                            v.EXP -= v.LevelXp; // Set the total XP to the new level XP minus current XP.
                            v.LevelXp = Convert.ToInt32(v.LevelXp * 1.1); // Set the new level XP to 110% of the previous level XP.
                            v.SkillPoints += 15; // Give the player 15 Skill Points for gaining a new level.
                            m.Title = "[" + v.Level + "]"; // Change the player's title to reflect their new level.
                            m.FixedParticles(0x376A, 9, 32, 5030, EffectLayer.Waist); // Show special effects to catch the player's attention for gaining a new level.
                            m.PlaySound(533); // Play a special sound to catch the player's attention for gaining a new level.
                            m.SendMessage(600, "You are now level " + v.Level + "."); // Notify the player of their new level.
                            if (v.Level == 2)
                                m.SendGump(new LevelInfoGump());
                        }

                        if (v.Level == 50)
                        {
                            v.EXP = 0;
                            v.LevelXp = 10000;
                            v.SkillPoints += 20;
                            m.SendMessage(600, "Congratulations! You are now level 50 which is the highest level in the game. You have received 20 extra Skill Points as a reward.");
                            m.SendMessage(600, "From now on you will gain After XP. Once you gain a total of 10000 After XP, you will gain another Skill Point.");
                        }

                        m.SendMessage(88, "You have to gain {0} XP to advance to the next level.", v.LevelXp - v.EXP);
                    }

                    m.SendMessage(88, "You have {0} XP total.", v.EXP);

                    // End XP system

		    from.CheckSkill( craftSkill.SkillToMake, minSkill, maxSkill );

		    }

See if that solves your crashing problem, I am guessing you probably forgot an { or an }. I also updated the download to reflect these changes. I also found a typo, when you gain 10000 after xp, it tells you that you gained 2000 after xp, I have fixed that as well. The changes are in both BaseCreature.cs and CraftItem.cs. Currently I am working on a way to make this script easier to install. Thank you all for your input.

I am looking for great suggestions as to what people would like to see in this script, so feel free to let me know. This is just the beginning of a great system.

[Erinyes]

Would there be any way to raise the maximum level easily? Such as making the maximum level 100 or something?

Its just a thought to keep people interested longer.

After level 50 they still earn skill points so they can respec their skills. If you increase the maximum level to 100, it will be almost impossible to get to level 100 because at each level it adds 10% of the current required xp to level to the next required level's xp. I will add this information to the main post to clarify. If you change the maximum level to 100, what I would do is change it so that it adds a bit less xp to the required per level, so that it is not impossible to get to level 100.

Here is the current required XP table:

Level	-	Required XP
2	-	1000
3	-	1100
4	-	1210

I keep getting this message on shard load:

- Error: Scripts\Engines\Craft\Core\CraftItems.cs: CS1513 :<line 880, column 8>
} expected

I looked at it, and } is there, I cant figure out whats causing this problem.

[nacrom]

add another one and that will resolve your problem

[Islaya]

k, that problem is fixed, but now whenever I try to log onto the shard, I get this error and the server crashes:

[Phisius_]

Sorry for my English, I speack not this langage !

How can I change the give EXP ? This is allway 100 !

[UndSk8]

what error ? the bug ive found that they can get exp without craft just need to buy the tool i dont know ...

for change the title you need to go there :

m.Title = "[" + v.Level + "]"; // Change the player's title to reflect their new level.

you need to edit this

"[" + v.Level + "]"

if you want its look like : ( The Name ) ( Level ( The level ) )
Exemple : Undsk8 [Level 50]

you need to take the

"[" + v.Level + "]"

and change it for

"[Level " + v.Level + "]"

in the 2 file you need to modify

If you dont understand add me on MSN : ArthasGm@hotmail.com

It not always 100 at the start lvl 1 you can gain only 10% of current level experiance your first level you need 1000 XP so 10% = 100 when you will level up next level you need 1100 so you gain more than 10%

[Phisius_]

Ok, but How can I change this for 10% of the STR of the monster ?

[Shadow82]

I cannot gain Exp from killing monsters,crafting etc. Is this because im using Daat's OWLTR or am i making a dumb mistake :/

[valdis]

I get the same thing when someone try's to make a new account... Not sure what the deal is... Can someone that knows alittle more about scripting help out? Doesn't seem to be any replys from the guy that made it about whats going on...

[ultima_killa]

i cant seem to find this line in my scripts...
Titles.AwardKarma( ds.m_Mobile, totalKarma, true );
could someone tell me what line it is around in the: scripts\engines\AI\Creature\BaseCreature.cs
I have daats Owltr so if you guys no what line it is on in there i would be greatful thanks a lot
