my attack.php after video 6. Everything that I have tested on it is working (calculating exp correctly, etc.), but of course it's possible there is a bug I hadn't triggered

ok, this is my first post so don`t get mad if i am mistaking.
this code seems useless to me. let's say player is lvl 1 and orc is lvl 3 and if u kill it u get 30xp, and if u are lvl 5 and orc lvl 3 u get 10xp. why do u wanna do that? let the xp be the same for all player level, just change the whey the player levels on xp. if player is lvl 1 he needs 50xp to get to lvl 2, and 100xp to get to lvl 3 and so on.
dunno if u understand what i am saying, but i think it`s more efficient the way i said it.
Code: Select all
if ($playerinfo3['level'] > $creatureinfo3['level'])
{
$firstmod = $playerinfo3['level'] - $creatureinfo3['level'];
$secondmod = $firstmod * 10 ;

$thirdmod = ($secondmod / 100) * $creatureinfo3['exper'];
$totalexper =$creatureinfo3['exper'] - $thirdmod;

$firstmod = $creatureinfo3['level'] - $playerinfo3['level'];

ok well.. if a mob or (monster) is higher then you. you will want to give the user less exp. that way they cant abuse the system and get the 30 exp from a mod that is 5 - 10 level's lower then them. the higher the level the lower the exp you want to give the player from that mob

yeah, it causes grinding without. I understand what you mean but trust me, if you leave any way for a player to grind they will.
Say it takes 500 Exp to get from level 1 to level 2 and 5000 to get to level 10 from 9
if you give the same amount of exp (lets say 50 for a goblin) a level 1 could battle the goblin nearly dying and it would take 10 of them to level, not only that each battle would be long.
a level 10 could easily kill it in one wack and just sit and grind, it would take him 100 goblins but he would never need to fight bigger creatures
now this is not to say you couldnt balance the battles with better loot but the object is to make the playing level even for people with lots of time and people who can only play every now and then. it makes people buff their characters and build them up for tough battles.
its preference really.
Thanks for the question, I don't get mad at questions, so no worries.

Example 1 - player is level 5, monster is level 7, base experience for killing monster is 50. Under the formula above, the player would get 60 xp.
Example 2 - player is level 7, monster is level 5, base experience for killing monster is 50. Under the formula above, the player would get 40 xp.
Killing a monster higher than you gets base experience+modifier. Killing a monster the same as you gets base experience. Killing a monster lower level than you gets base experience-modifier.

@hallsofvallhalla
as you said, you can balance the amount of xp for each lvl. you can for example duble the amount, let's say:
lvl 1 to lvl 2 = 100xp
lvl 2 to lvl 3 = 200xp
lvl 3 to lvl 4 = 400xp
lvl 4 to lvl 5 = 800xp
lvl 5 to lvl 6 = 1600xp
and form here it get`s harder.
I played a lot of games and that`s how it works. I`m not saying your code is bad, but in my opinion it would be better how i suggested
the only thing good that i see in your code is that the database will get smaller in numbers
@OldRod
i know what the code does, i just came up with another suggestion.

actually if you watch the rest of the videos I set up a experience table that does something similar. The main thing I do not like about this is 2 characters of different levels should never get the same experience for killing the same creature. A 2nd level player should get more experience for killing a 4th level creature than a 5th level killing a 4th level creature. It rewards bravery and punishes cowardice.
Making higher exp caps does not fix the problem though. You will have grinding that will unbalance the game. I know this from experience from my other games.
But like you say either way works. Its preference
