MaxLevel

Readme

This plugin extends the maximum level possibility from 40 to 60. The plugin provides normal level up alerting and procedure with a few minor issues. Feats and Ability Points follow their normal progression. Spell counts gained can be configured for the additional levels.

Environment Variables

Variable Name	Value	Default	Notes
NWNX_MAXLEVEL_MAX	41-60	null	Maximum level you wish to support.

Required Plugins

• The NWNX_ELC plugin is also needed to bypass the level restriction. No configuration is necessary though, merely loading this plugin is sufficient.

Issues

• Spellcasters may not change spells when levelling up.
• Next Level XP on Character Sheet shows an incorrect value. For a possible workaround see below.

Setup

• Define your max levels variable in your server environment.

  export NWNX_MAXLEVEL_MAX=45

• If you provide a -maxlevel argument in your server start up or have MaxCharLevel defined in your nwnplayer.ini make sure those values are changed as well. It is safe to ignore the message at startup stating Server: Invalid argument to -maxlevel.
• Add your XP thresholds to your exptable.2da

  ...
  40  41  35935000
  41  42  39935000
  42  43  45935000
  43  44  53935000
  44  45  63935000
  45  46  0xFFFFFFF

• (Optional) Edit the class spell gain 2da files to provide more spells as levels progress. These are cls_spgn_???.2da. The spell known 2da is not worth changing as there's currently no client interface for PCs to change their known spells past level 40.

Next Level XP workaround

Beginning at level 40 the xp value shown on the character sheet after "Next Level:" is incorrect. This can be worked around with, with a tlk override for the strref 315 "Next Level" that also pushes the xp value out of view by use of a new line \n. With NWNX this can be done per player and can show the actual value of xp needed for the next level so that it looks as usual.

// Todo: Do something to get the PC object as oPC.
int nLevel = GetHitDice(oPC);
if (nLevel < 40)
{
  // In case of a level down the override might not be needed anymore.
  NWNX_Player_SetTlkOverride(oPC, 315, "");
}
else
{
  string sNextLevel = IntToString((nLevel + 1) * nLevel * 500);
  // The line above assumes you followed the same pattern of xp progression as the first 40 levels.
  // If not, read from exptable.2da or do what you have to do to get the correct xp value for the next level.
  NWNX_Player_SetTlkOverride(oPC, 315, "Next Level: " + sNextLevel + "\n");
}

Code like the above could for example be run in the base game events EVENT_SCRIPT_MODULE_ON_CLIENT_ENTER, EVENT_SCRIPT_MODULE_ON_PLAYER_LEVEL_UP and the NWNX event NWNX_ON_LEVEL_DOWN_AFTER. An alternative would be the nwnx event before opening the character sheet NWNX_ON_CHARACTER_SHEET_OPEN_BEFORE.
