Parsing lunumab.2da

Appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this 2da file.

Straightforward enough for single classes, and I think I figured out multi-classes too - MULTI_X basically means the level you'd need to hit in X class of whatever multi before getting your first HLA.

What I do not understand is the dual-classes. Why do all of them - except Fighter > Mage - have 41 in the column? If F > M was also 41, I could guess that 41 was a random placeholder since the base game only goes to level 40. Surely it's not just a typo?

Dual classes only get hlas for their active class, that's a typo and don't call me shirley

That's how it works in game, yeah. Do you mean that any number in the field replacing 41 wouldn't make a difference?

Probably. I'm pretty sure those rows are unused, and the 14 in the "FIGHTER_MAGE" row definitely looks like a transposition typo for 41.

[testlum]

Hmm, didn't expect that. Thanks both!

The x in MULTI rows is clearly for how many classes constitute the multiclass — either 2 or 3. When a multiclass levels up, each relevant family is checked for a match, eg. a FIGHTER_MAGE would match MULTI2FIGHTER, MULTI2MAGE or both (if both ever level up at the same xp).
