Experience gain on Joinup bug?

[Guest TwiceTested]

Sorry to necro an old thread, but is there any easy way to PREVENT NPCs from leveling up to the protagonist?  I'd LIKE my main guy to have 2mil XP and be joined by the mere 200k xp NPC's.  They haven't SEEN the things the child of Bhaal has, but they will.  OHHHH yes, they will!

Yes, just before the NPC joins, use the Cheat console and set the primary characters XP to about the said number, then have the NPC join and then set the primary chars XP back. ... pie.

But then again, you could just do that to the NPC without touching the main char ... so... doesn't really matter, does it.

Either what Jarno Mikkola said or you could edit NPC override scripts in Near Infinity. Typical XP scaling code added by Beamdog in EE games look like this:

IF
    Global("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",0)
    InParty(Myself)
    XPGT(Player1,1249999)
    XPLT(Myself,1250000)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)
        ChangeStat(Myself,XP,1250000,SET)
        SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END

IF
    Global("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",0)
    InParty(Myself)
    XPGT(Player1,999999)
    XPLT(Myself,1000000)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)
        ChangeStat(Myself,XP,1000000,SET)
        SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END

IF
    Global("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",0)
    InParty(Myself)
    XPGT(Player1,749999)
    XPLT(Myself,750000)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)
        ChangeStat(Myself,XP,750000,SET)
        SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END

    Global("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",0)
    InParty(Myself)
    XPGT(Player1,499999)
    XPLT(Myself,500000)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)
        ChangeStat(Myself,XP,500000,SET)
        SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END
