Reserve party and experience

[Kes]

I know that in the systems tab of the database I can check the box which gives the reserve party exp.  However, I cannot see how to vary the percentage that they get.  I don't want them to get the full amount just, say 50% or 20% or whatever.

Is there a straightforward way of doing this that I've overlooked?

Thanks

I don't know about this box you can click on to give reserve party experience.  So I'm hesitant to try and help you on this since there may be a much easier way then the one I am going to describe.  And I'm not sure if you would consider this straight forward.  But you can manually give party members who aren't currently in battle 50% of the experience gained.

What you could do is add up the total amount of experience based on the troop then divide that number by 2 and add it to party members who aren't currently in the party.

For example: let's say you have a Troop with 1 slime and 1 bat.  The slime gives 5 experience.  The bat gives 10. 

Make two variables that equal the amount of experience the slime and bat give.

[slime Exp] = 5

[bat Exp] = 10

Then make a third variable and call it something like [50% Exp]

Put this in the battle event for that specific troop with the bat and the slime:

Control Variables:

[50% Exp] = [slime Exp]

[50% Exp] + [bat Exp]

[50% Exp] / 2

Then you can add the variable [50% Exp] to what ever actor you want using the Change EXP event command during that troop event.  You'll have to do a conditional check to see which actors are in the party and which one's aren't like this:

If Eric is in the party

Else

Increase Actor:Eric's Exp by variable [50% Exp]

If Noah is in the party

Else

Increase Actor:Noah's Exp by variable [50% Exp]  and so on...

Generally by default the reserve party members get is 50% I believe. If you want to vary that, use this script, very simple and user friendly.

System tab. Last line under Options.

Generally by default the reserve party members get is 50% I believe.

The Ace default is that reserve members will get 100% exp - the same as battlers.


To change it, go to Game_Actor, line 465 - this line:

$data_system.opt_extra_exp ? 1 : 0

and change the 1 to whatever you want it to be. So if you want reserve members to get 50%, change it to this:

$data_system.opt_extra_exp ? 0.5 : 0

It's a 1-line change. I fail to understand the enthusiasm people have for downloading entire script systems just to do a simple little change like that, and I've seen several instances of this over the last few days. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.  Not surprisingly, I'm going with the suggestion that Shaz makes, much more straightforward.
