hello everyone!
are u good?

let me ask u something,

did u guys noticed something about the summons? i implemented as well you guys talking about and further i noticed the mages when summon a monster get a big kid with levels, maybe it can be cool considering different mechanics but not for a older protocol. any idea about how to solve it?

thanks in advance!

cheers.

Simply, add Monster Levels to the monsters that cannot be summoned by a mage, in case, copy paste rat, and the rat that can be summoned will be different, change name or something else, there is a large possibility.

hello everyone!

i got another doubt about this system, i was trying in c++ some implementations for it, but until now without success, the thing is i was trying to implement a way to use the variable level of monster.xml for the attack and loot node inside the file, for example, for a troll.xml a way for the trolls of different levels has different behaviors, attacks and loots and for it just input in .xml of the monster something like this:

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<monster name="Troll" nameDescription="a troll" race="blood" experience="20" speed="23" manacost="290">
    <health now="50" max="50" />
    <level min="0" max="4" />
    <look type="15" head="0" body="0" legs="0" feet="0" corpse="3987" />

        <voice sentence="Gruntz!" />
        <voice sentence="Hmmm, bugs." />
        <voice sentence="Hmmm, dogs." />
    </voices>
    <loot>
        <item id="3031" countmax="10" chance="600" /> <!-- a gold coin -->
        <item id="3268" countmax="1" chance="180" /> <!-- a hand axe -->
        <item id="3552" countmax="1" chance="100" /> <!-- leather boots -->
        <item id="3355" countmax="1" chance="100" /> <!-- a leather helmet -->
        <item id="3577" countmax="1" chance="150" /> <!-- meat -->
        <item id="3003" countmax="1" chance="80" /> <!-- a rope -->
        <item id="3054" countmax="1" chance="1" /> <!-- a silver amulet -->
        <item id="3277" countmax="1" chance="200" /> <!-- a spear -->
        <item id="3336" countmax="1" chance="50" /> <!-- a studded club -->
        <item id="3412" countmax="1" chance="150" /> <!-- a wooden shield -->
    </loot>
</monster>

if you take a look in the attacks section in the code above, i tried to declare a level that will give for the troll of that level differents types of attacks, any idea about how to implement it?
with my tests and changes inside monsters.cpp and monster.cpp in the respective funcions "Monsters::loadMonster" and "Monster::Monster(MonsterType* mtype)" was with no success...

thanks in advance!

cheers.

If monster is 10-20 loot 20 gold coins, if is 20-30, 30, etc..
I Dont know really how to do that.

But you could do it in another way, creating a function to get the level of monster, with this you can do everything, if monster is level 100 - 300 then loot x5 for example, more loot. Requires source changes to add the function.
The same way to do it more stronger, more hp, etc.

Shouldn't crash, you added the level flag to the monsters? You'll have to add it to each monster, try this with a low amount of monster first, just for testing.

XML:

<level min="5" max="100" />

Also remember to add the config.lua lines

Lua:

monsterBonusHealth = 0.5
monsterBonusSpeed = 0.02
monsterBonusDamage = 0.02

Here's the whole code if you wish to merge it or cherry pick it

Including every possible commit, I tried to add skulls for monster aswell based on level but wasn't possible. Co-Authored-By: infernumx <[email protected]>

There is a big error after adding this system. If you talk to any NPC, a crash occurs. If you try to give yourself some levels addskill, a crash occurs.
Yes, your system is what I am using now

Yes! That's true, any event that adds experience will crash the server. I didn't remember that, it's been so much time using this system that I just forgot about it. But the bug is there. Anyways, i've been using it for a year or so and never had to use add experience events anymore, it's kinda tricky, becuase I even used this crash to get ensure that no one uses add experience commands anymore on server (otherwise will crash and i'll inmediatly know it).

I will take a look into it to see if I can solve it, since I didn't had the necessity, I just passed from that. If someone wishes to contribute on fixing this is welcome! Regards ^^

True but you can still use player:addExperience.

I add this monster level to a 13.32 so function on a script action on use or a chest wont work , the trick is create an item that you Will change it to an npc for experience , add to npc player:addExperience and I Will work.

Sol each time you want addExperience to a player do it by npc and no errors that the trick I found.
