When Monster Level Up option is selected, MvPs respawn with the same level they were killed

[PedroProplayer]

When the option for allowing monsters to level up when they kill players(mobs_level_up at battle/monster.conf), I've noticed that MvPs will respawn with the same level they were killed.

For example, if a given MvP kills 10 players and gains 10 levels, it will respawn 10 levels higher the next cycle. This effectively makes MvPs much stronger than they should be, overtime.

Obviously, I don't want this to happen. I want MvPs to respawn always at their default level. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Try commenting this out in src/mob.cpp

//		if(battle_config.mobs_level_up && md->level > md->db->lv) // [Valaris]
//			bonus += (md->level-md->db->lv)*battle_config.mobs_level_up_exp_rate;

 

This is part of the EXP calculation for mobs that leveled up and not related to respawning.

 

In src/map/status.cpp in function status_calc_mob_ replace lines

	if (opt&SCO_FIRST) { // Set basic level on respawn.
		if (md->level > 0 && md->level <= MAX_LEVEL && md->level != md->db->lv)
			;
		else
			md->level = md->db->lv;
	}

with

	if (opt&SCO_FIRST) { // Set basic level on respawn.
		if (md->level > 0 && md->level <= MAX_LEVEL && md->spawn && md->spawn->level) {
			// Restore specific level used in spawn file
			md->level = md->spawn->level;
		}
		else
			md->level = md->db->lv;
	}

 

This restores the level set in a spawn file, otherwise the mobs will respawn with it's default level.
