Post by: Hollywood on February 3, 2004 07:47 pm CST

In the stats of the Documentation section, EXP modifier is listed for each class. Does this actually do anything?

Yes.  Certain classes are rewarded more EXP than others.

thats odd particle.  normal tribes rpg does not use them so i do not see how you can say yes.

Code: [Select]

function DistributeExpForKilling(%damagedClient)
{
dbecho($dbechoMode2, "DistributeExpForKilling(" @ %damagedClient @ ")");

It was used in the oldGetLevel and oldGetEXP functions. This is back in AD&D days. The code was just left in there incase server owners would want to use the old exp system.

A lot of people complained about the new one when it first came out.

I was looking at the EXP modifier, whre Bards get .8 That would be pretty big over time. If it doesn't matter, then my comment doesn't either.
