MP Leveling ??

I started a thread in the MP forum but got no responses so I deleted it and I'll try it here.

I was wondering what files or file I need to change for Levels in MP.
I want to change the amount of credits needed per level and make levels go to 99.

Thank You

jeeez and I was just thinking about that one.

I've been banging my head against that one for a while now.
From whai i gather you need to have the 1.1 patch installed on the server and have the extra levels added to missions\ptough.ini

I've tried it on mine though and it dosen't work for me. I'm not sure how you add the 1.1 patch to a mod with custom resources.dll and a freelancer.exe version number. I'd like to see the answer to this one too..

Same here Mace I have 1.1 installed and did the ptough.ini but level 40 is max just like SP. I think it has to be hard coded somewhere, and the flexe is not touched. What needs to be done is make it refer to the ptough.ini for the levels if that is possible that would work for both SP/MP I would think and then again, I may be wrong.

Eh! by any chance are you guys running the server and client on the same machine.

Yes that is what I am doing. Why does that mess something up?

Probably, I can only speak from my own experience, I sometimes run a LAN and have used the 1.1 patch on it, clients (running 1.0) that link to the LAN server can get the full number of levels, but if I join in by using the PC that's running the LAN I don't get the higher levels.

So does it use the Ptough.ini for the levels?

you dont need ptouch files for multi player . if you use them you will be stuck on 40 no matter what gibbon told me this on the gizmo forums. all you need is the fl patch

OK now where in the patch is the info kept so you can edit the levels and how much per level?

thats all i know sorry i even checked the dlls with a hex editor and could find anything. all i know the patch is there for werver stability and to make players levels rise. and ptouch is not needed.
