I'm trying to allow a hero to increase in level past level 10. I have this code added:

;ExperienceLevel	BoromirLevel11
;	TargetNames						=	GondorBoromir	
;	RequiredExperience					=	1400
;	ExperienceAward					=100	
;	AttributeModifiers					=	HeroLevelUpDamage11
;	Rank							=	11
;	LevelUpFx						=	FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
;;LevelUpOCL						=	OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL
;	SelectionDecal
;		Texture						=	decal_hero_good
;		Style						=	SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
;		OpacityMin					=	50%	
;		OpacityMax					=	100%
;		MinRadius					=	40
;		MaxRadius					=	200
;		MaxSelectedUnits				=	1	
;	End	
;END	

;ModifierList HeroLevelUpDamage11
;	Category = LEVEL
;	Modifier = DAMAGE_ADD 25				
;	Modifier = HEALTH 105	 			
;	Duration = 0
;End

But when I run it (without the ;s) it says "Cannot find BoromirLevel11" and crashes. What else do I have to edit to fix this?

Also, I'd like to make it so that for every level up a hero gets they add even more CP.

Any help?

How about removing all of the ;'s
The game will read it if it has those in front

the new code would be

CODE

ExperienceLevel BoromirLevel11
TargetNames = GondorBoromir
RequiredExperience = 1400
ExperienceAward =100
AttributeModifiers = HeroLevelUpDamage11
Rank = 11
LevelUpFx = FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
LevelUpOCL = OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL
SelectionDecal
Texture = decal_hero_good
Style = SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
OpacityMin = 50%
OpacityMax = 100%
MinRadius = 40
MaxRadius = 200
MaxSelectedUnits = 1
End
END

ModifierList HeroLevelUpDamage11
Category = LEVEL
Modifier = DAMAGE_ADD 25
Modifier = HEALTH 105
Duration = 0
End

I understood that he already removed them.

Where did you place the new levels and the new modifier?

[Neutron4ever]

Oh, sorry didn't read the whole thing carefully

Is the required EXP amount higher than the amount on lvl 10? (I think this may be the problem)

[Gfire]

I think it resets the exp to 0 when you level up. I'll try that, though.

Right now the codes are just in a map.ini for simple testing.

Edit: It actually already is higher than the level 10 exp.

Maybe they don't work with a map.ini entry. Try the same with adjusting experiencelevels.ini and attributemodifiers.ini.

[Ridder Geel]

Smart... Yes why are you doing it in Map.ini? That could cause unnecessary problems

[Gfire]

Yes, I thought of that. I'll try it as a normal mod.

You cannot create new experience levels via map.ini, nor can you change the "targets" of an experience level via map.ini either.

People work around the latter by sneakily editing childobjects; so if you want to let Sauron (BFME I, for sake of example) have experience levels we would do so:

ChildObject RohanEowyn MordorSauron
End

This would create a childobject of Sauron named "RohanEowyn", thus tricking the game into giving Sauron experience levels. When you are placing Mr. Sauron on the map, we would place Eowyn instead of Sauron... This DOES make Eowyn unusable though.

As for creating new ranks via map.ini, it simply isn't possible
