Queen Of Thieves beta 0.8.7

[myoksy]

In practice you lose all XP towards next level

addendum:

what are the needed XPs per level? I cannot remember that the step between lvl 6 and 7 had over 2000 XPs

I rarely saved, but not long after the XP eating ghost I had 1400/3700 XP (level 7) and the XP field was not a progress bar anymore (just an empty box with current XP and needed points of the next level). now, some 500 XP later, the progress bar is still not shown.

in melvin.rpy:540 the text says "You are an interesting, woman, Joanne."
I am nearly sure that the first comma should be dropped

Yes you're right. I blame Jack since he told me he's been adding extra commas to my writing.

[myoksy]

I blame Jack

it is paramount to have a scapegoat at hand : D

now, some 500 XP later, the progress bar is still not shown.

the progress bar is back : ) (at 2800 XP)

Will remove the excess comma
The XP needed for levels varies, in practice (I put a space every 5 levels):

Code: Select all

self.xpNeeded = [0,100,250,500,750, 1000,1000,1000,1000,1000, 1000,1000,1000,1000,1000, 1250,1250,1250,1250,1250, 1250,1250,1250,1250,1250, 1500,1500,1500,1500,1500, 2000,2000,2000,2000,2000, 3000,3000,3000,3000,3000, 5000,5000,5000,5000,5000]

And obviously:

what are the needed XPs per level? I cannot remember that the step between lvl 6 and 7 had over 2000 XPs

the XP is the total amount, so it's not like at level 7 the XP goes to zero, it's the sum of all the other levels. It's mostly a matter of preference but I prefer to always show the total XP. It's nicer to look at

[myoksy]

so 1600 for level 6 and 2600 for 7 (+/- a few hundred, I'm interested in the ballpark)? than I don't understand why the ghost was able to pull my PCs down into the 1400 area while my party consisted of lvl 7 chars

[jack1974]

I'll take a look, maybe there is something wrong in that ghost code
I used:

Code: Select all

HEXP=party.gui_selected_char.xp-party.gui_selected_char.xpNeeded[party.gui_selected_char.level]

to calculate the amount to subtract, so I think it was ok, the party.gui_selected_char basically is any party member (they have all same XP), and I subtract the XP needed to get the current level. I think that should work...

[jack1974]

Haha no you're right the amount of XP stolen is wrong! (too big). Will fix it on next update

[myoksy]

Will fix it on next update

great, thanks!

basically is any party member (they have all same XP)

nope : P

don't forget duels, only the lone duelist gets experience (this can be significant - a duel gives 100+ XP, Kira had about 1000 XP more than the rest of the party after the single and only time I ever visited a military mansion).

[jack1974]

Ah OK, I didn't think about that. I'll remove the XP for each party member separately then!
