I'm not sure it calculates experience per hit. I think it is per kill based on the relative experience between you and the mob you kill. However, I might be wrong.

It actually does calculate the exp gained. In the fuction, "gain_exp" in update.c, add near the end:

ch_printf( ch, "You gain %d experience.\n\r", modgain );

Something like that.

As for stats, edit handler.c to change max_str, max_con, etc.

[EDIT] I just tried this myself, and it causes some "problems".

You **** SMITE **** a large demon!
You gain 1414 experience.
A large demon is DEAD!!
You receive 97 experience points.
You gain 97 experience.


As you can see, it displays the exp gained twice, when killing a mob.

Nick is right, SMAUG calculates experience gained on a per kill basis, not per hit. SMAUG has a rather complicated experience system anyway...MOB's each have a base experience worth generated by a slew of numbers, most of which don't even make sense to apply. Basically, any stat that a MOB has can be (and pretty much are) used to calculate the experience that a player gets when he/she kills the MOB.

All that to say that you can't display exp gained per hit because you don't gain exp per hit. As for Zeno's suggestion (I'm assuming he suggested having it display exp gained at the end of a fight, at least that's what it looks like to me), SMAUG already displays exp gained at the end of a battle. So you don't really need to bother yourself with that.

My last post was the way of showing exp gained, per hit. Yes, you do gain exp per hit, and it is a variable, and can be displayed. I tested it myself.

Zeno, is this stock SMAUG? I can't find the words "You gain" when searching all the .c files.

No, I was meaning to add that line, so it shows how much you gain... But I was using SmaugFUSS when I added it. Doh. Sorry, I forgot to say "Add" in my first post.

[EDIT] Oh wait... I did say Add. Oh well.

Oh, sorry, I see what you mean.

However this raises the question - your extra line shows:

Quote:


You **** SMITE **** a large demon!
You gain 1414 experience.
A large demon is DEAD!!
You receive 97 experience points.
You gain 97 experience.


So, you gain 1414 experience from your addition, but then the normal response shows only 97 experience for the kill. My question is, do you really gain the 1414 experience, or is it rounded down at the kill based on your experience relative to the mob's?

You actually gain that much. I had exp in the prompt, and I calculated it. You gain experience per hit, unless the mob is out of your range.

You really gain exp per hit? I'll admit, I'm a little skeptical. But, that's okay...I'm quite interested also. If you gain experience per hit is it only added to your total exp after you kill the MOB?

No, the amount gained when you kill a mob, like this...

A large demon is DEAD!!
You receive 97 experience points.

Is sort of a "bonus" for killing it. This is not the total exp gained throughout the battle.

Most interesting...I just tested this out. I had a level two Paladin who had 2395 exp before I began fighting a giant ant. Upon the ants defeat the MUD displayed that I had gained 54 exp points. However, when I checked my score again I had 2811...some quick math tells us that I gained a total of 416 exp throughout the fight. I hit the MOB four times, so an average of about 100 per hit. If we subtract the 54 exp "bonus" at the end of the fight, that means that the xp gained was about 90.5 per hit (assuming that it is computed per hit). Does any one have any other information on this? I'd really be quite interested since I've gone all this while thinking that xp was awarded per kill.

k cub
You attack a bear cub!
You DESTROY a bear cub!
You gain 3 experience.
You dodge a bear cub's attack.
A bear cub brushes you.
You PULVERIZE a bear cub!
You gain 2 experience.
A bear cub is DEAD!!
You receive 1 experience points.
You gain 1 experience.

Before this, I had 143756 exp. After, I had 143762. Thats a difference of 6. Its fine. The extra "You gain 1 experience." at the end is simply a repeat of "You receive 1 experience points." So it all is fine...

[EDIT] Whoops sorry, thought you were saying the calculation is not correct. More info? All I can say is that you can exp per hit.
