// 2) Create a script and name it the same name as the items TAG.
// 3) The script needs to look like this:
// #include "rr_level_weapons"

// 4) Put the item where players can get it.
// This system is highly customizable. The file rr_level_weapons contains all
// of the important functions.
// void AddPowersByLevel(object oItem)
// This function lets you decide at what levels the items will gain certain powers
// void AddLevelMegaDamage(object oItem)
// Megadamage is a 1d100 roll of elemental damage added to every attack.
// Here you can control how devastating the weapon truly becomes.
// Be careful with megadamage, it can easily throw balance off unless
// Everyone has the same capability.
// void AddLevelDamage(object oItem)
// This function adds normal elemental damage to the weapon. (1d6, 2d12, etc)
// int GetDamageBonusValue(int iLevel)
// This function decides how much massive critial damage is added at what level
// int GetBonusValue(int iLevel)
// Allows you to change what levels people get +1, +2, etc.
// Damage Values:
// 1 = 1 // 2 = 2
// 3 = 3 // 4 = 1d6
// 5 = 1d8 // 6 = 1d10
// 7 = 1d12 // 8 = 2d8
// 9 = 2d12
// int GetArrowDamage(int iDamage)
// Allows you to change the elemental damage
// constants set in void AddLevelDamage(object oItem)
No matter what I do I can't change the xp required for the weapon to level, 3 hits and it levels, even when the constant is set at 200. am I missing something?
The readme lets me know how to change the damage per level and how to set it up, but not how to change the xp. My scripting is weak, but if I'm reading this right it should be the constant multiplied by the weapon level would be te number of hits before the item levels up again. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Yep, permanent ips on the weapon, so it persists over resets.
>> After line 106 [default:] is there room in there to jazz up?
That would be the best place to go to town, just note that it only gets applied for levels 31-40.
>> Could say an onactivate item Unique power be used to give some kind of indiction of the weapon's level?
Ya, that is a good idea. _________________________ My Submissions

Sorry to be a spambot, but when I find something cool I just gotta nail it down-
After line 106 [default:] is there room in there to jazz up?
Apply some kind of temporary visual effect to the wielder?
Could say an onactivate item Unique power be used to give some kind of indiction of the weapon's level? _________________________ I am 9fires.In Hell I burn in flames. So cold inside the fires heals the pain.

Cool idea. RiffRaff has mad a number of great contributions to the community this is one. Thanks.
You see this function:
void AddPowersByLevel(object oItem)
{
int iLvl = GetLocalInt(oItem, "Level");
switch(iLvl)
{
case 30: // Megadamge
AddLevelMegaDamage(oItem);
case 29:
case 28:
case 27:
case 26:
case 25:
case 24:
case 23:
case 22:
case 21:
case 20:
case 19:
case 18:
case 17:
case 16:
case 15:
case 14:
case 13:
case 12:
case 11:
case 10: // Keen
AddLevelKeen(oItem);
case 9:
case 8:
case 7:
case 6:
case 5: // MassiveCrits
AddLevelMassiveCrits(oItem);
case 4:
case 3:
case 2: // Damage
AddLevelDamage(oItem);
case 1: // Enhancement
AddLevelEnhancement(oItem);
ColorToOne(RandomColor(), " * * * Your " + GetName(oItem) + " is now level " + IntToString(iLvl) + " * * * ", OBJECT_SELF);
break;
default:
AddLevelMegaDamage(oItem);
AddLevelKeen(oItem);
AddLevelMassiveCrits(oItem);
AddLevelDamage(oItem);
AddLevelEnhancement(oItem);
ColorToOne(RandomColor(), " * * * Your " + GetName(oItem) + " is now level " + IntToString(iLvl) + " * * * ", OBJECT_SELF);
}
}
If you just add new addlevel* functions that are appropriate for armor, then it could work without any other modification imho.
I think onhitcast uses the same event for getting hit on an armor. _________________________ My Submissions

Would it also be possible to do the same for armor and amulets/rings, could make for an interesting prospect. _________________________ Vincent

Well done, it's been the first thing I have seen so far on level up weapons. _________________________ Vincent
Yes, the level of the weapon is self-contained. If it is level 10, it will be level 10 no matter who owns it. A level 40 character wouldn't stop the weapon from gaining xp. _________________________ My Submissions

Yeah i would definetly use it for more god-like items. Does it gain xp seperate from the character....i.e. a lvl 40 character gets the lowest level form of the weapon.....can he level up the weapon even though he doesn't get xp from kills anymore? _________________________ PW Action Server:

Yeah that Helps Now I just Gotta Find out why My Armor levels, My bow levels, My Sheild levels and My sword Tells me To take A Leap at a Large Dragon, lol Prefferably with a DIFFERANT weapon, lol And Yeah I got yer Armor and Weapon Sets BOTH, just Like the idea weapon gets Level on it's Own heh _________________________ "We came, We saw, we kicked ....

A way to implement multiple different power sets would be to make different copies of the include file and use them for different weapons. For example, this is the default implementation:
#include "rr_level_weapons"
void main()
{ Level(); }
Say you made a different version of "rr_level_weapons" and call it "rr_levelweapon2". Then implement it like this:
#include "rr_level_weapon2"
void main()
{ Level(); }
This new weapon would have the attributes of the modified include file.
If a server uses the ILR. The roleplay explanation could be that the weapon has grown beyond the players ability to wield and control. Like a intelligent sword or a artifact as a example. _________________________ The Dirty Dwarf

Again I love this system, Too bad I don't see a Way to customize it for say Seperate weapons, Like maybe I longsword with a DIFFERENT set of bonuses, If there is, wondering if you could add a Manual explination maybe? i know I'm askin a lot but even if One's not forthcomming it's Still a HIGHLY useful script :) _________________________ "We came, We saw, we kicked ....

DragonBlood:
Yes, ILR will kill the system if the player gets too ambitious. I will make a new release that accounts for this. In your opinion, would you rather use renewable temporary ips and have ILR ignored, or would you rather just have the sword stop gaining experience if the player isn't high enough in level?

Was wondering, if you have the item level restrictions in a server, would your PC theoretically gain enough XP with a weapon to where he/she couldn't use it?
Is there a way to limit how much can be gained?
Nice one RiffRaff, I started a VERY similar project to this one a while ago but never got around to finishing it (like most of my projects). I will check this out.
