It seems like you killed Mediafire Dennis. I guess I'll have to wait until we get the next one up on a different upload service to check it out.

Is there a guide to how much XP is required to level?

[Rob Cashwalker]

I just uploaded the file again, see if it's working now

Not inclined to work for me.

Mediafire does not respond.

Code: Select all

          //calc level from XP:
     public static int getLevelFromXP(int xp)
     {
        int level = 1;
       
        while (xp >= 1000)
        {
           xp -= level * 1000;
           level++;
        }
       
        return level;
     }

So, at 1000 xp you hit level 2, at 3000 xp you hit level 3, at 6000 xp you hit level 4, 10,000 xp is level 5, etc.

cool... thanks.

Got the newer file from the now active Mediafire link, copied the adventure_questData file from my previous version and began exploring.

After walking around a bit, I got to this really cool pop up window.
This game is just so much fun!

Loving this more & more with every encounter, village and surprise like this!

While that might be your intention I don't think this math is quite right.
I think you need

Code: Select all

while (xp >= 1000 * level)

instead of your current conditional. You gain a level as soon as your XP hits 1000, and sometimes send your XP into negative levels while you increment your level early.
So at 1000 you'll hit level 2, then at 2000 you'll hit level 3. Then 4000 you'll hit level 4. Etc

Token art is still not appearing in duels. I've checked the tokens file and have seen files for birds, wolves, etc., but they don't show up while playing. I tried switching to different pets before and encounter but the result is the same. I did copy some of the missing token files from an earlier version into the folder & I also checked the icon folder which I think houses the AI quest opponents pics.

Are their any differences between what was posted last night and what was posted on Monday?

[Rob Cashwalker]

no, I just re-uploaded what I downloaded.

[timmermac]

So far, I like it.... I think I may hold off on playing more until there are more opponents, though, as I've faced each non-castle/quest opponent at least twice.

Are you saying this is not right in terms of balance, or math? I'm pretty sure the math is right (you will hit level 3 at 3000, level 4 at 6000, etc.)
Whether this is gaining levels too slow (in terms of balance), I don't know...

[Bog Wraith]

no, I just re-uploaded what I downloaded.

That explains the tokens situation.

Dennis, could you label each release with a version # or some thing like it?
