Logical Experience

Buffs experience gains for Skills that needed it and grants extra XP on kill, leaves the rest alone. Everything can be toggled on or off.

Install on both the server and every client.

Features

• all experience gain is balanced now, some very weak gainers were buffed in logical ways (e.g. crossbows, dodging, riding, cooking, crafting,... read more under configs)
• all kills grant unique XP (e.g. greyling +1xp, hexen +7xp,...)
• kill XP contributes to the skill of the thing that killed them (e.g. if you killed with a sword that XP goes towards swords), this was done to realistically make combat grant more xp than training
• kill XP-floating-numbers toggle (client-side, can see the +xp numbers float when you kill an enemy, very cool if you want to know how much each kill is worth xp)
• all XP-gain-log toggle (client-side, can use this if you want to see all the minor XP gains that you get, very spammy and recommended for testing purposes only)

Installation

With Manager - install with Gale, r2modman, or Thunderstore Mod Manager (BepInEx is pulled in automatically since it's marked as a dependancy)

Manual - drop LogicalExperience.dll into BepInEx/plugins

Configuration

Local - after first launch, the config is at: BepInEx/config/devon752.LogicalExperience.cfg

Server - on a dedicated server, edit the server's file (Clients receive those values automatically)

Configs Everything listed here can only be toggled on or off (no configuration of the numbers since this is balanced, if it isn't I'll fix it)

1 - General

• Lock configuration - locks the "Skills" configuration settings serverwide
• Show kill xp popups - client-side setting that can enable or disable the on-kill XP floating text
• Show top left xp log - client-side setting that can enable or disable the XP log on the top left (very clunky and spamming, recommended only for testing)
