[Solved] Experience needed to level

[Kenpachi11]

Is there a script that lets you pick exactly how much exp is needed to level at each level?

Like at level 1 you need 500
at 2 you need 750
at 3 you need 1000
and so on...

Anyone either know of one or know how to make it?

[Mr_Wiggles]

here its a quick small code, let me know if you want anything added to it. Just paste it above main and bellow the default scripts. The way it works is that in order to get to say, level 2 you need this much exp.

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler 
  def actor_exp_rates(level, actor = 0)
    case actor
#==============================================================================
#   ** Config **
#==============================================================================
# Follow this template for your actors in your game to set their exp.
    when 1 # Actor ID
      exp = { # Exp for levels
      2 => 30,  # A => B
      3 => 40,  # A is level
      4 => 50   # B is EXP needed
      }
      return exp[level]
    when 2
      exp = {   # Because the levels 3 and 5 are not set here, the script will
      2 => 45,  # get the default values from the default settings.
      4 => 73,  # if the default setting is not set it will return 0 and the
      6 => 83   # actor will not be allowed to level up past that point.
      }
      return exp[level]
    else # These are the default exp requirements, if the actor id is not set
      # the required exp will be set to these values.
      exp = {
      2 => 30,
      3 => 50,
      4 => 65,
      5 => 70,
      6 => 90
      }
      return exp[level]
#==============================================================================
#   ** End Config **
#==============================================================================
    end
  end
 
  def get_exp_needed(level)
    exp = actor_exp_rates(level, @actor_id)
    exp = actor_exp_rates(level) if exp == nil
    exp = 0 if exp == nil
    return exp
  end

  def make_exp_list
    actor = $data_actors[@actor_id]
    @exp_list[1] = 0
    for i in 2..100
      if i > actor.final_level
        @exp_list[i] = 0
      else
        @exp_list[i] = get_exp_needed(i)
      end
    end
  end
end

Wow! Thank you so much this is exactly what I need.
Quick question though, how do I just make it all the same for everyone?

[Mr_Wiggles]

To make it easy for you just replace your code with this edited one.

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler

#   ** Config **

# the required exp will be set to these values.
      exp = {
      2 => 30,
      3 => 50,
      4 => 65,
      5 => 70,
      6 => 90
      }
      return exp[level]
#==============================================================================
#   ** End Config **
#==============================================================================
  end
 
  def get_exp_needed(level)
    exp = actor_exp_rates(level, @actor_id)
    exp = actor_exp_rates(level) if exp == nil
    exp = 0 if exp == nil
    return exp
  end

  def make_exp_list
    actor = $data_actors[@actor_id]
    @exp_list[1] = 0
    for i in 2..100
      if i > actor.final_level
        @exp_list[i] = 0
      else
        @exp_list[i] = get_exp_needed(i)
      end
    end
  end
end

Thank you

Actually the change you made causes an error because there is nothing before the actually exp definitions....

no, script works fine as is.. your missing the bigger picture..

  def actor_exp_rates(level, actor = 0)
      exp = {
      2 => 30,
      3 => 50,

It was the case actor thing that was giving me a syntax error, ok thanks sorry
this is exactly what I want

This is a hash right? How do you get the tables to change when you change character classes, like from fighter to Mage?
