L2OFF Exp loss formula

Featured Replies

Anyone can tips me the formula for calculate death Exp loss for players? Or decompiled functions, or place where it calculates in L2OFF (L2Server.exe, CacheD.exe)?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, i try to help you

 

You can put it on a player action or creature action like "on die" and play with mathematics for the value of nExpDec

int User::ExpDown(int nExpDec)
{
	typedef int (*f)(User*, int);
	return f(0x8040F0L)(this, nExpDec);
}

void User::SetExpDown(int nExpDec)
{
	try
	{
		expDrop = nExpDec;
	}
	catch(...)
	{
		return;
	}
}

 

Dont let L2 OFF/PTS die!

@Nevermind25 me need an formula, like baseLevelLossExp +levelLossModifier - skillLuckyExpPenaltyModifier .... Bla_Bla_BLa.

i think Function User::GetDefaultExpDownValue Is what you are looking for

hmm if you think, the loss of experience is about a 4%. Then the calc must be down = 0.96 * Exp_of_the_current_level ? 

in the extenders, lin2panel and in other places you can find the exp table for each level.

Where locates this function? L2Server.exe, CacheD.exe?

At this moment, after L2OFF tests, i know what loss experience not static value and calculates from many conditions. I asked about formula for calculate this. I know what for exp loss also affected from clan wars, sieges, level loss %, clan skills, etc.

I don’t think you can find the original formula unless you dig enough with IDA, or get an idea from C1 since @MasterToma has already his own c1 sources

L2Server.exe -> User::Die -> look for call to User::ExpDown and work your way back from there, you'd need to know asm pretty well and have a spare few days to figure it out, I don't have the time for academic endeavors such as that these days or I'd attempt it

 

If you're friendly with the advext guys you can bet they've already rewrote the whole User::Die func in a few of their exts (never been a fan of that style of working, porting whole func to C++ just for a small fix but hey to each their own), if they feeling nice maybe they'll give some info to you

C1 code right from IDA, for PvE. For PvP/PK/Sieges it's 1/4 of calculated value

In C4 exe....


0x545280

double __fastcall GetExpDiePenalty(int level)
{
  double levelFactor; // xmm2_8

  levelFactor = 10.0 - (double)(level - 1) * 0.125;
  if ( levelFactor <= 4.0 )
    levelFactor = 4.0;
  return 0.0 - (double)(g_expPenalty[level] - g_expPenalty[level - 1]) * (levelFactor / 100.0);
}

 

So, as expected - raw penalty formula in C4 is the same as in C1. Trick is, that calculated by GetExpDiePenalty() value is modified later on, taking into account other factors (it's only pve/pvp factors in C1, in C4 might be more)

Thanks @MasterToma for info. Now me need to research why i got over 10% exp loss on the 10 level with level loss.

I have this in case it helps you.

  pSD = this_->base.d.pSD;
  nRace = pSD->nRace;
  nSex = pSD->nSex;
  nClass = pSD->nClass;
  nLevel = pSD->nLevel;
  nExp = pSD->nExp;
  if ( LOBYTE(this_->base.d.f_height_damage) && !dword_C6B880 )
  {
    if ( BYTE5(this_->base.d.shieldDefenceRate)
      && (v70 = v80, v71 = v81, v72 = v82, (v28 = sub_424B90(&unk_C476F0, &v70, 11)) != 0) )
    {
      ExpP1 = GetExpDiePenalty(this_->base.d.pSD->nLevel) * *(v28 + 432);
      this_->base.d.unk_BA0 = ExpP1;
      nExp = User::ExpDown(this_, ExpP1);
      v66 = *(v28 + 440);
    }
    else if ( v14 )
    {
      if ( v16 )
      {
        this_->base.d.unk_BA0 = 0;
      }
      else
      {
        ExpP2 = GetExpDiePenalty(this_->base.d.pSD->nLevel) * 0.25;
        this_->base.d.unk_BA0 = ExpP2;
        nExp = User::ExpDown(this_, ExpP2);
        if ( pEnemy_ )
        {
          pEnemyUser = (pEnemy_->vtable->base.base.MemoryObject__CastUser)(pEnemy_);
          if ( pEnemyUser )
          {
            pledge = User::GetPledge(pEnemyUser);
            pledge2 = User::GetPledge(this_);
            if ( pledge || pledge2 )
              CPledge::UpdateSiegeKillDeathPoint(pledge, pledge2);
          }
        }
      }
    }
    else
    {
      v34 = GetExpDiePenalty(this_->base.d.pSD->nLevel);
      this_->base.d.unk_BA0 = v34;
      nExp = User::ExpDown(this_, v34);
    }
  }
