Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Disabling EXP gain/notifications

If I wanted my mod to remove the experience points mechanic (ie. gaining 1000 XP for killing an enemy), could anyone think of a way to achieve this? If it's not possible, can anyone think of a way to at least remove the automatic pop-up text which notifies the player?

My scenario is far too short and compact to make use of a meaningful character stat/ability progression, there'll be no level ups. I'd much rather the whole "You gained X Experience Points!" wasn't there; it doesn't suit the story/mood that I'm going for.

I'll search for a script command, but most likely the exp notification is hard-coded in to the engine itself.

Maybe you can try to set the exp given by mobs to 0.

Experience is determined by the "gain" field in characters.txt and scaled by act part.

Try changing:
data "Gain" "5"

to

data "Gain" "None"

for enemies you don't want to give experience. Note that a gain of 0 is different than a gain of None.

So that's what the Gain part of the Character.txt does. I had been wondering where the Exp for enemies were set.

Oh sweet, so that's what Gain is. I was under the impression it determined how a characters stats increased on level up or something. I can't test right now, but that sounds like it should work. Thanks.

Just a follow-up on this, it worked perfectly. No pop-ups, no notifications in textbox.

Cheers!
