Title   PWFXP - XP Distribution Script Author   Knat Submitted / Updated   10-09-2003 / 11-22-2006 Category   Rulesets Expansions   Works on all versions View Code   /* This is a more sophisticated XP distribution script geared towards PWs. It comes with more then a dozen XP modifiers to fine tune XP output and is losely based on the old but solid TTV XP script. here is a small example of features, all modifiers are scalable: - PCs suffer XP reduction if their level is not close enough to the average party level. level 1 grouping with level 10 is probably not a good idea... - PCs suffer XP reduction if their level is not close enough to the CR of the killed MOB (both directions, if a PC kills a mob much stronger then himself = xp reduction, and vice versa) - Adjustable ECL modifiers, easy to sync with any subrace scripts - Group bonus. groups receive a small XP bonus (or big, if you wish) to encourage teamplay - Groupmembers need to be within minimum distance to the killed MOB if they want to receive XP - many more, see the constants... - easy to add new modifiers.. all in all, this is pushing the nwn XP system more close to what you get in a MMORPG. You can make it very hard to level or easy as hell, with good control of group impact and flexible boundaries. system went through extensive beta tests at www.thefold.org - thanks to all the great players and staff there... --- USAGE --- --- USAGE --- --- USAGE --- --- USAGE --- --- USAGE --- just add the following line to the onDeath script of your creatures (default: nw_c2_default7): ExecuteScript("pwfxp",OBJECT_SELF); Don't forget to set the XP-Scale slider to 0 (module properties) --------------------------------------------------------------------- changelog: v1.1 initial full release (10/2003) - fine tuned and slightly optimized code - added debug toggle v1.0 beta (8/2003): - distance check should now work correctly - minimum XP award (see new PWFXP_MINIMUM_XP constant) - henchman, familiars, animal companions, summoned creatures and other NPCs in a player group now take away XP. see PWFXP_XP_DIVISOR_PC and PWFXP_XP_DIVISOR_NPC constants - made it easier to manage ECL modifiers. see PWFXP_ECL_MODIFIERS string constant */ //::////////////////////////////////////////////// //:: Created By: LasCivious & Knat //:: Created On: 7/2003 //::////////////////////////////////////////////// // this will modify global xp output const float PWFXP_GLOBAL_MODIFIER = 50.0; // displays one-line XP status info after each kill // useful while you fine tune the system. const int PWFXP_DEBUG = TRUE; // this is where you apply your subrace ECL modifiers // add them to the constant in this form "(Modifier)-(Subrace)|...next|...etc" const string PWFXP_ECL_MODIFIERS = "1-AASIMAR|1-TIEFLING|1-AIR GENASI|1-FIRE GENASI|1-WATER GENASI|1-EARTH GENASI|2-DROW|2-GRAY|2-DUERGAR|3-DEEP|3-SVIRFNEBLIN"; // small bonus for killing blow dealer const float PWFXP_KILLINGBLOW_MODIFIER = 0.1; // 10% // PC level gets compared to the average party level. // APL = Average Party Level // // XP gets reduced if PC-level > APL + APL_REDUCTION // XP reduction is based on SCALAR, be careful if you change this // right now its 0 - 50% (scalar 0.5) for delta 2 (APL_REDUCTION) .. delta 4 (APL_NOXP) // delta = abs(APL - PC Level) // this means it will switch from 50% reduction to 100% reduction in one leap in case the PC level // is greater then APL + APL_NOXP. // i did this for a better granularity for the given default values but // you can freely change APL_REDUCTION and/or APL_NOXP.

Posted by DM at on12/18/05 Without a doubt the best and most versitle XP system on the vault as well as teh most "Idiot-resistant" to boot. It you can use a toaster, and know what a script is.. you can use this system. _________________________ Itinerant Admin: RPGModding.com - Where Modders Muster.

Never voted for this! I'll add to the chorus and say that this is an excellent system, offering about all the control one could need over XP distribution. It's made a huge difference for our PW, where we've been running this for about a year. _________________________ Live fast, die young, and leave a lootable corpse. Posted by OmegaDM at 2005-07-2120:52:49     Great script. A must have for any PW that needs a non-linear xp system. :) I've used this in two separate PWs and it is by far the easiest system to use, customize, and doesn't require a bachlors in C++ to understand :) Zdm 1 2 3 You must be Logged In to post comments in this section.
