xplevel.2da

[Caedwyr]

Can additional rows be added to the xplevel.2da file? For example, lets say I wanted the Mortuari kit to follow a different leveling progression, could I add an additional row and have the Mortuari kit follow this row?

*poke*

I never tried, but I bet you can. Not difficult to check, anyway - copy an existing kit with a new name, append the table and see how it works.

[Avenger]

I have never seen kits working with xplevel, the rows are classes.

[Gort]

uhm, I forgot it. I think it's possible to create a new class, then, and even assign it to an NPC, though it would be unavailable for PC

[Avenger]

Leveling for an illegal class causes a crash.

I don't think it would be fixed by a new row.

I think the number of levelable classes is hardcoded.

[Gort]

Now when I think about it - barbarian is a fighter kit, yet it follows another level progression table. I couldn't find any 2da for him, though. Do you think it's harcoded, also?

[Caedwyr]

The other way they could do it is to apply a XP modifier spell via CLAB on kit creation, such that the Barbarian only receives 95 or 85% the experience of its parent class.

[Gort]

I don't quite understand how gained XP modifier can affect level progressing table

[Caedwyr]

You don't affect the .2da table, but you can simulate the same effect by varying the gained XP modifier.

[Gort]

If you make barbarian get 95 xp while fighter gets 100, it will make him progress slower, but per same progression table

[Caedwyr]

Actually, are you sure about Barbarians following a different XP progression chart? According to the admittedly fallible Baldur's Gate 2 manual, Warriors and Barbarians share the same experience progression.

 

And as an aside, one could always create all the various changes in a custom xp progression by applying additional XP modifiers at varying levels. It'd be fairly simple to take the base class xp progression table for the kit, the final desired xp progression table for the kit and do the math to determine what multipliers are needed and at what points.

[Gort]

I can't check it right now, but I was always sure about it. You're right about multipliers, anyway.

must have been a glitch in my memory. Of course, barbarian follows the same table. No idea how is that I was sure in opposite
