level bug..
i'm afraid this is one of the biggest set backs of HB high level servers ('level jumps' are what they are known as)
Technical reason:
The var used to store the exp for a player is a INT and this is 32bit (say it's like -3mil to 3min, not really 3mil, it's a example) and when it goes over the biggest number it can store, it emptys the int (sets it to the smallest number possible, in this case -3mil), thats why you get negative number exp. I tryed to fix this by setting the exp value to a 'unsigned __int64' (which has no negative and is 2x as big as a int). This only helped till like 490??? or was it 1k level... dono, it helped a little to a certain extent but didn't fix it. (there is nothing bigger than a __int64)
Confusing to you? well, don't worry, this confuses all of us
<_< :unsure: :blink:
edit: even if it is a int, it shouldn't jump untill lvl 314 (i simulated
), unless you set the exp to super high and jumps 20lvls per slime...

marburg and me found some kind of fix for this problem, you'll have to do some source editting though
in game.cpp :
// altered by hb XXXXXXXXXX for high level bugfix. Need to divide all xp values in npc.cfg by 100
// iRet = iGetLevelExp(iLevel - 1) + iLevel * ( 50 + (iLevel * (iLevel / 17) * (iLevel / 17) ) ); <---- original line, replace with
iRet = iGetLevelExp(iLevel - 1) + ( iLevel * ( 50 + (iLevel * (iLevel / 17) * (iLevel / 17) ) ) / 100);
in npc.cfg : divide all (for every monster) the min exp and max exp values by 100, easiest way is just to delete the last two digits
Finally you'll have to make a new xp-table, based on that new formula
Until now we hadnt had anymore lvl jumps, and highest lvl is close to 400 at the moment, before we did this fix, characters started to jump at about lvl 317
Hope this helps

I prolly sound dumb, but how do I go about doing the source editing. My problem isnt really as much the max lvl as it is getting a negative exp value at my max lvl of 300. It is very annoying having to change the exp back to positive every time this happens. For that reason my server hasn't gone up yet. So if u could tell me where to get the game.ccp and how to do it or something it would be very helpful. TY
