Lowering Experience-Drain-At-Death %?

[Andrew]

Hi, I'm just messing around in a LAN game with a friend, and we were wondering if there was a way to reduce the amount of experience drain suffered at death (something like 10% instead of 20%?). Just, you know, because we're wimps.

Is there a runtime option/flag I can set, or do I need to do something more dubious?



(I'm running the server on Windows, btw).

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, those are hard-coded values...
So you need to change code & recompile server ^.^;;;

Hint in case you manage to get code: common/living.c, lines around 1818

Personally, this value needs to added into a config file;

sugggested format:

permadeath: off
deathxplosspercent: 20
deathdrainlossperstats: 1

But this is just my idea to put most of CF's hardcoded variables into a config file.

Then what are you waiting to make a patch i'm sure everyone will love?

what about making permanent experience configurable instead? (Or both? But I think permanent exp may do the trick alone)
