Is there a way to add a custom EXP curve?

[Rainfall]

My game does not get experience on a traditional way, instead you get a few for doing missions, or exploring areas, collecting cards and so on, and it should be 100 EXP per level up forever.

Is this somehow possible in the maker?

 

[Andar]

yes and no - in the database, you have some limits on the formula values you enter for the EXP formula.


However, it can be changed by plugin, and there is a chance of changing it by editing the values in the json for the class data

You'll need a plugin to achieve that:

Game_Actor.prototype.expForLevel = function(level) {    var c = this.currentClass();    var basis = c.expParams[0];    var extra = c.expParams[1];    var acc_a = c.expParams[2];    var acc_b = c.expParams[3];    return Math.round(basis*(Math.pow(level-1, 0.9+acc_a/250))*level*            (level+1)/(6+Math.pow(level,2)/50/acc_+(level-1)*extra);};This is the original function that defines the experience formula. If you want to change it into "100 EXP per level", you can remove all the lines from the second to the second last and replace them by

return (level-1) * 100;

Edit: Andars suggestion to edit the json files should work as well if you don't want to use another plugin.

Sorry, both of your suggestions sounds good, but I don't know how to implement either of these. I'm not very experienced with that kind of stuff.

Edit:

I made it with some common knowledge and intuition! XD

Thanks Another Fen, it works! Just made a plugin like yours and put it in!

Is this a locked topic? No?

It's only a week old, so I don't think this counts as necroposting.

What formula should I write if I want the experience curve to go up at a consistent rate (basically a flat slope)?

Will the changes made in the json file affect what I visibly see in the editor?

 

[Dachimotsu]

Bump.

It is not a locked topic, but it is not your topic and your question is not the same, so you really should just start another.


Don't the defaults already give you a flat slope (a straight line)?

I may be seeking a different result, but the theme (custom exp curves) is still the same. No sense flooding the boards with duplicate topics.

And no, as hard as I've tried, I can't make the EXP curves a straight line. Only, well, curves.
