*it is possible to leave it all and algorithmically sort it from there but I would avoid that for a first pass.īack on topic though what I imagine the game will be doing is something like reading that location (or more likely that location plus character level multiplied by some number depending upon how big the numbers are and if that table also includes stat or spell progressions - not wishing to confuse you too much but in normally programming such a thing happens as the result of 'pointer arithmetic' though the pointers there are not quite the same as you are dealing with here) to get the value for level ups.

However if you want to expand the scope of the levelling system you will probably* want to have more space hence the 'move it to another location' part. If you were doing a minor rebalancing hack you would have probably just been told to edit that area. Odd as I would have thought it would have been somewhat algorithmic but I have certainly been surprised in the past and that would make fine tuning a bit easier.Īlternatively that is actually a section of assembly code for levelling but that does not seem as likely if that was the information you were given/path you were sent down. Going by what has been said that area in the ROM contains a hardcoded lookup table for level progression or something along those lines.

What you say may well be true and what you have been told to do may well be a way to do it (until I can argue otherwise I will have to assume it is) but it seems kind of odd.
