EXP bug after 2bil fix

[JSB123]

No sure if this is really the right section. But, thought i'd share this info, which can be usefull if you have very high exp rates set.

I've discovered that after roughly 2billion exp, the CHANGEEXP + comamnd will bug the players exp, to over double what is meant to be needed to lvlup, and they return to 0% after killing another mob.

So if you have exp values above 2bil and you have the CHANGEEXP + command in your server NPC's, QFunction items, or MapQuest scripts,

simply change the command from

[@Whatever]
#ACT
CHANGEEXP + 800000
BREAK

to

[@Whatever]
#IF
CHECKEXP > 1980000000
#ACT
BREAK
 
#IF
#ACT
CHANGEEXP + 800000
BREAK

diverting the command away from anyone it may bug.

Again, not sure if this is supposed to be in here, but it moves down less often that other sections and will enable more people to see it over time. I appologise if you need to move the topic.

Also, the absolute maximum exp the M2 will read/output is roughly 4.8 billion.

Aye, it's all down to the wordsize which is hardware and OS restricted.

Using the script is one way to get around that

Depends how your emulator is coded.

If you bug is at 2bill then your max exp is: 2147483647
if its 4bil then its: 4294967295
if your lucky enough to have an emul that was coded with an int64 you get a nice: 9223372036854775807
