my monster exp dividing formula:





If DatFileVersion = v111j Then

If Monsterrec.ExpMulti = 1 Or Monsterrec.ExpMulti = 0 Then

nBase = SLong2ULong(Monsterrec.Experience)

nBase = Round(nBase / divisor)

If nBase 2147483646 Then nBase = 2147483646

Monsterrec.Experience = ULong2SLong(nBase)

Else

nBase = SLong2ULong(Monsterrec.Experience) * SLong2ULong(Monsterrec.ExpMulti)

nBase = Round(nBase / divisor)

If nBase > 2147483646 Then nBase = 2147483646



tryagain:

nMultiMax = 20

For x = 20 To 65538

If x * 32767 >= nBase Then

nMultiMax = x

Exit For

End If

Next x



nMulti = 1

For x = 3 To nMultiMax

temp = nBase Mod x

If temp = 0 Then nMulti = x

Next x



If nMulti = 1 Then

nBase = nBase - 1

GoTo tryagain:

End If



nBase = nBase / nMulti

If nBase <= 0 Then nBase = 1

Monsterrec.Experience = ULong2SLong(nBase)

Monsterrec.ExpMulti = ULong2SLong(nMulti)

End If

Else

nBase = SLong2ULong(Monsterrec.Experience)

nBase = Round(nBase / divisor)

If nBase <= 0 Then nBase = 1

Monsterrec.Experience = ULong2SLong(nBase)

End If

What is that written in? (Nightmare that is)

I haven't used VB in eons, so maybe all that is really needed, but all I do is multiply the ExpMulti by the old Experience field. The check for 1.11j is important tho. =)

how's your term prog coming locke?

Slow but sure. =) No ETA or anything though, but with 1.11j out I've got more reason to keep plugging away on it. ;)

no kidding....hehe...megapud just isn't gonna cut it much longer

yeah that's easy to get how much total exp the monster gives. but i gotta then take that number, do math to it, and then figure out the new best numbers to use for the base and multiplier to write to the dats. that's what all that code is for.
