Introduction

After an actor levels up their experience goes back to 0 making it more  challenging to level up.
Example:
Old Way: Level 2 requires 25 exp. You get to level 2 and you keep that 25 experience.
This Way: Level 2 requires 25 exp. You get to level 2 but you go back to 0 exp making you get more experience until your next level up.

---

Features

• Resets Exp after Level Up
  
• Adds some challenge to your game

Author's Notes

Enjoy!

cool  ;D

Perfect for a game that requires a lot of grinding :D

Hmmm I might just use this, only time will tell XD, seems like a good addition to my terrible drop rates XD.
Do you think this will work with ABS systems like XAS?

Yup, tested with XAS, Blizz-Abs, and Tankentai Sideview battle system

What about Cogwheel's RTAB?

Though it'd probably be compatible with that too, seeing how it doesn't seem to alter anything big.

Never tested it with that, but this script only edits the Game_Actor class. If you press ctrl + f in the script editor and search for this
"def exp="
"def level="
If it doesnt appear in the cogwheel script it should work just fine. Let me know if you have troubles with it I'll fix it for you

This is a nifty little script. I wonder if something like it could be used to make a skill tree.

Hi! So I decided to finnaly use this, only one problem, it overwrites a very important script, my level and stat breaker

this is it

#  Unlimit Levels v1                                            by: cybersam
#                                                               date: 14.09.06
#
# Fixed by: albertfish
# Date:     September 16, 2009
#
# What albertfish fixed:
#     - Removed the use of global variables
#     - Fixed the initial stat and growth problems
#         - Initial stats used to be too high
#         - Stats used to grow too fast
#     - Stats now follow the curve created in the data base
#         - After level 99 the stats increase by the same amount as they did
#           between level 98 and level 99

What i need you're script to do is recognize that the maximum level is 100, preventing anymore experience gain.

Thanks :D
