hacking it together - hardcoded: very easy. take a look at the (linked obove) tAttributes Alpha for tf2.
implementing it in a way so it can be used by [any] game, thats a lot harder and is what i'm working on atm.

ah i see..... "All In One"

[Thrawn2]

this has been updated for compatibility reasons to tAttributes.
Finally some effects for l4d2/tf2 =D this is not just cosmetic anymore (if you want it too).

So, you're going to make it support other games than L4D1/2 and TF2?

Any chance for Noodle's method of creating new xp requirements for levels? That is, instead of multiplying the original amount by a multiplier, just adding a base amount of xp to the total?

Not as fun as exponential xp requirements, but I like clean, rounded numbers myself.

EDIT: Might as well add some more comments here...

Big issue:
Using the levelmod.xp.hurt.sdkhooks.smx will cause a cacophony of errors in console (for the server), as well as somehow disable world damage (saw blades and bottomless pits I tested personally, may include payload explosions and trains). The deprecated plugin works without a flaw, though.

Suggestions:
Experience for assists and medic assists would be nice, though not necessary.
Setting "sm_lm_exp_maxbydmg" to zero disables experience through damage, instead of removing the experience ceiling ("0 = unlimited").
Disabling the level up sound with the particle effects would be nice if paired up.
Capping flags/pushing kart for experience? Didn't check it myself, but hey.
Possibly a chat message at the end of the game proclaiming the player with the highest level? (to be added to the "leader" core, of course).
It seems like "sm_lm_deathmessage" and "sm_lm_announce" have be remove/renamed as of 0.4. Any chance to get these back?

I understand that I'm not using the absolutely latest version, so you've probably gotten a lot more done since this one.

Enough suggestions for now, though... Everything else runs beautifully. It's a ton of fun to fight for the top level and gloat after you kill someone! Keep it up, man. I'll be testing this on my server for the time being.

i was kinda hoping someone else would jump on this train. adding support for another game is really easy and doesnt require modifying any of the plugins. i'll probably write a how-to on this.

You can achieve this by setting sm_lm_exp_reqmulti to 1.0. Everyone will be updated to their new level (because higher levels would require less xp) automatically. Furthermore i'm going to provide natives which are able to set the required points for a certain level, which would allow another plugin to load level requirements from a keyvalues file, db, random, whatever.

I will look into it, thank you.

ack, will look into it.

not so much, but very important fixes ;) the sdkhooks version could actually work then btw ;) and it is much more accurate than the deprecated version.

awesome! i appreciate it!

actually, what is the benefit of level up? new skills or abilities?

[Thrawn2]

this is a modular plugin. on its own its purely cosmetic. but you can combine it with tAttributes. there will be other plugins using levelmod too, give it some time.
