exp help

[andyt_2005]

Ok, iv been trying this for a good few hours now and, well i got a headache!!

Im trying to find a good formula for exp gains.

Iv tried just a random (2,20) idea, but when a user becomes a higher level, this formula sucks, it will take to long to level up, even by gaining the max 20 exp.

any ideas or help would be welcomed.

thanks

Re: exp help

Maybe you could use percentages, but that means it would be probably the same difficulty to level up if you were a level 1 or a level 100.

What exactly do you want though? You want a new way that users gain experience?

Time's that per level?

$forumala = ($ir['level'] * 250/ (rand(2,20) * rand(1,5)) + $ir['level']);

If they are level 2 the formula would be like:

rand 1 = 5

rand 2 = 3

2 X 250 = 500

5 X 3 = 15

500 / 15 = 33

33 + 2 = 35.

Now as for a level 100:

rand 1 = 8

rand 2 = 2

100 X 250 = 25 000

8 x 2 = 16

25 000 / 16 = 1562

1562 + 100 = 1662

 

Of course you can change the variable's tho. :wink:

Re: exp help

Iv tried both and still not happy :-P im a hard person to please!!

i want it so no matter the level they can only gain 20%exp max

['level']*$r['level']*$r['level'];

so lets say they were level 1:

['exp_needed']=(int) (($ir['level']+1)*($ir['level']+1)*($ir['level']+1)*2.2)

17.6 exp

i want them to gain a max of 20% (3.52) for each attack.

but a level 9:

['exp_needed']=(int) (($ir['level']+1)*($ir['level']+1)*($ir['level']+1)*2.2);

need 2200 exp

but i still want them to gain a max of 20% (440)

i just cant figure out the formula to give them a max of 20% of what they need for their level.

its most likely something really simple, but as i say iv been at it for hours and now im brain dead!!!

Re: exp help

You will need to wait for floydian, luke or nyna to post with percentages.
