Hero exp. and leveling problems

[acefirebat]

OK first question, my hero wont level past level 5. I already went into map constants and changed max hero level to 20. For some reason i still stay at level five. Second question is, i know there is a way in the same window (the game play constants one) to change the amount of exp. that creeps give to your hero. I remember reading a tutorial on it somewhere but i cant find it again. Please help with ether question.

you can change the exact amount of xp a creep gives by editing it's xp field in the object editor window.

However, if you just want a generic xp boost for all creeps then you can go to [Hero XP Gained - Creep Reduction Table] in the gameplay constants and make the reductions less (change them to 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, etc.).

BTW, that's also where you can make your hero level above 5. You'll see the initial values (80, 70, 60, 50, 0) in the window, which means that at level 1 heroes will gain 80% of the potential experience from killing a creep, 70% at level 2, 60% at level 3, 50% at level 4, and 0% at level 5. Just add 20 values to the list (for levels 1-20) and your hero will be able to level all the way, like so:

(95, 93, 91, 89, 87, 85, 83, 81, 79, 77, 75, 73, 71, 69, 67, 65, 63, 61, 59, 57)

Or you can set the last number to something else than 0. It will use the last number for levels that don't have their own value set.

For example, if the list is

100,90,80

You'll gain 100% exp at lvl1
90% exp at level 2
80% exp at level 3
80% exp at level 4
80% exp at level 5
...
