Edit Max Level

One of the most common issues during server configurations is setting the max base and job levels. The process involves a 2-part editing--the source code and the configuration files.

Note

As of May 3rd 2014, Commit: b6b3f58 editing the max level has been moved to /src/common/mmo.h.

Editing The Source Code

/map/map.h

Open \src\common\mmo.h and look for this line of code:

#define MAX_LEVEL 175

Change 175 to your desired maximum value, i.e.

#define MAX_LEVEL 1000

Note

Some custom releases already have support for 1000 as the MAX_LEVEL and deems this part not necessary.

Compiling The Server

After revisions in the source code, these changes will not take effect unless the .EXEs are recompiled.

See Compiling.

Editing The Configuration and Database Files

Configuration Files

Open /conf/battle/client.conf and look for this line of code:

max_lv: 99

and

aura_lv: 99

Modify these to your desire values. But take note of the maximum values had in your source. Any value exceeding the supported values will be automatically reverted to 99.

Database files

Depending on whether you are using renewal or not, open up the correct file: /db/re/exp_group_db.conf and /db/pre-re/exp_group_db.conf.

exp_group_db.conf sets the required experiences for both base levels and job levels. It separates the necessary experience points by groups (First Jobs, Second Jobs, Third Jobs).

An example is shown below:

FirstClasses: {
		MaxLevel: 99
		Exp: [
			350, 550, 900, 1500, 2200, 3200, 3800, 4200, 4550, 5000,
			5500, 6000, 6100, 6350, 6700, 7350, 8000, 8400, 8800, 9200,
			9700, 10300, 11000, 11800, 13000, 14000, 15000, 16000, 17000, 18000,
			19000, 20000, 21000, 22000, 23200, 24000, 26000, 27500, 29000, 30000,
			31500, 33000, 34000, 36000, 37500, 38000, 40000, 42000, 44500, 47000,
			49000, 51000, 53000, 55000, 57000, 59000, 61500, 63000, 65000, 67000,
			69000, 70000, 73000, 77000, 80000, 84000, 88000, 91000, 95000, 110000,
			128000, 140000, 155000, 163000, 170000, 180000, 188000, 195000, 200000, 230000,
			260000, 300000, 350000, 400000, 480000, 550000, 600000, 680000, 750000, 900000,
			1000000, 1200000, 1500000, 1800000, 2100000, 2400000, 2800000, 3300000
		]
	}

When you increase the MaxLevel for a certain group, make sure to add corresponding experience requirements in the array as well.
