1. Are these arguments actually used:

arg2: Additional max HP earned when level is attained

arg3: Additional max MP earned when level is attained

..and can I set them to 0?

2. Can I set a different name for character class level 100 or does it just go to level 99?

I ask this because I wonder if Character Class Level "5100" (following 500-599) would be possible..
If not it's no big deal.

3. I'm trying and failing to limit the classes element levels.

In the following example I'm trying to have:

life - learnable to level 9
water - unavailable
nature - to lv 2
earth - to lv 2
death - unavailable
fire - unavailable
spirit - to lv 2
air - unavailable

START_ELEMENT_PP
556, 0, 556, 556, 0, 0, 556, 0

MAX_ELEMENT_PP
1000000, 0, 2142, 2142, 0, 0, 2142, 0

The unavailable elements are ok but I'm finding my cheat character is offered the "Click to increase" option instead of "You can train no more" on the elements that are supposed to rise to level 2 maximum.

2)Just level 99.

3)I have no clue.. that looks right to me.

Do you really have it broken into two lines like that? (I assume you just did that for clarity in the post). If so, that would be a problem, as opposed to:

START_ELEMENT_PP 556, 0, 556, 556, 0, 0, 556, 0

And you have to have all the "special" directives just after line 0 and before line 1 of the class definition.

-----

And if you had more than one MAX_ELEMENT_PP line in a class, it *probably* uses the last one it encounters...

-----

And I *hope* this table is still accurate, but there is always the possibility that it isn't:

; PP Levels
;
; The PP required for each level grows according to a nasty equation, but here are the PP
; limits as of the time of this writing.
;
; level 0 PP 0 - 555
; level 1 PP 556 - 1250
; level 2 PP 1251 - 2142
; level 3 PP 2143 - 3333
; level 4 PP 3334 - 5000
; level 5 PP 5001 - 7500
; level 6 PP 7501 - 11666
; level 7 PP 11667 - 20000
; level 8 PP 20001 - 45000
; level 9 PP 45000 - 1000000

--------

And, of course, it's always possible that there is a bug and MAX_ELEMENT_PP no longer works at all.

But looking at the code, it looks like it SHOULD be still working (famous last words)

I should have tested this before posting previously. Anyway:

I set the limit of element 6 to level 2 and it said "blah blah tnl etc" so I carried on and DID hit level 3 but THEN it stopped me once I hit that level (ie. a level too high).

Once I touched any other element it then dropped back to level 2.

Strangely enough, sometimes I can then increase element 6 back to level 3 again but not elements 2 or 3 (also limited to level 2), they just stay at the correct level.

Weird huh?

Next, I think: "when it goes to level 3 again try learning a level 3 spell"..

Well, now I've found having re-incarnated the character that element 6 is solidly level 2 but element 2 could go up to 3!

Um, still following?

This is just too much trouble changing all my world settings to test this when it keeps changing and I really have SO MUCH to do that I'm going to brush it under the carpet

For anyone still reading who may be confused this appears to be simply a minor glitch, and it's my opinion it wouldn't let you learn the spell anyway.

I just added a little "cheat sheet" to /funpak so when you load a world it tells you how much PP is required for each level.

It looks like it might just be a documentation error that when I say:

level 1: 555-1250

I really SHOULD say

level 1: 555-1249

i.e. subtract one from all the maximums.

LGH
