Hi anyone, I have been trying to increase the amount of experience awarded by the 5th quest of Act V. I don't know if I can change the quest rewards directly (anyone?), what i tried was changing the xp in monstats.txt for the 3 Ancient Barbarians. In NM, I typed 10,000,000 for each barb, adn got 25,000,000 from each as I fought the battle! in Hell though, I had typed 64,000,000 and got only 2,000,000 (incidentally, the amount of xp I had typed for Normal diff)! My clvl was 74 when I tried NM, and 90-91 when i tried Hell. Any clues?

The experience bonus for doing the quest is somewhere else, which is another way to go editing it. Khan has lowered it in his mod so it can't be too hard to do, but I wouldn't know where that is...

Yeah, I know I can make them award experience everytime DigiBo, but how much and WHY DO I TYPE 64000000 AND GET 2000000?? And Nefarius, you said values past 8388608 or so (I assume that's 2 to the 23rd power) were reverted, could you be more specific? And how do you acount for 10000000 reverting to 25000000 but 64000000 (or 50000000 which I also tried) reverting to 2000000?

"Khan has lowered it in his mod so it can't be too hard to do"

Thanks Foxbat


Seriously, the changes must be applied to D2game.dll. I only have the offsets for version 1.09c at hand but you can find the locations in the 1.09d version of D2game.dll pretty easily if you make a search for the right hex values.
These would be:
C05C1500 for 1.4 mio
002D3101 for 20 mio
005A6202 for 40 mio
(hex values in reverse order - 2625A00 for example is the hex value for 40.000.000)

These are the quest rewards in normal, nightmare and hell difficulty.
