Question about a text mod I made to expand the amount of levels per character

[Lunos]

Hi!

I just created a text mod to introduce new character levels to the game beyond Lv99 following these indications written by HellSpawn, but I'd like to know if I did this correctly or if there were changes that I may have missed.

What I did was to modify the experience.txt file raising the "maxlvl" of each character to 250, and then added experience values for each level from 100 to 250.
Then I modfied the itemstatcost.txt file and changed the number of bits assigned to the "level" variable to 8 in order to hold a max of 255 units.

What I'd like to know is whether there's any other change I need to make or if I'm good to go.
I'll leave a copy of the mod attached to this post for anyone curious, and/or in case it helps visualize things better.

Thanks in advance for reading!

The maxlvl in your experience.txt is still set to 99, not 250.

You set the experience requirements for lvl 250 to 51743057230, which is well beyond the 32-bit limit of Diablo 2. You'll need to divide those numbers until they are less than or equal to 4294967295. The lazy way I'd do this (with AFJ Sheet Editor) is to multiply those columns by 10, divide by 121 and then round or truncate. You can do the same multiply by 10, divide by 121 and then round or truncate on monlvl.txt L-XP, L-XP(N), L-XP(H) to adjust XP given by monsters.

Gah. I totally did set them to Lv250 at first, but I did grab a clean copy of the file while I was doing this because I screwed up my sheet editing, and focused on adding all the exp. amounts and entries for the new levels, that I forgot to set them back to 250
Thanks!

Alrighty, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

EDIT: Alright, how does this look?

Looks good to me, although you only have 249 levels rather than 250. Not sure if that would even really matter though.
