EXP Formula "Mode Coefficient" Fix

[9:21:43 AM] Arch: This is…strange

[9:22:07 AM] Arch: I’ll try making the enemy something not of the same class

[9:22:32 AM] Yetiman: try wizard too

[9:23:05 AM] Arch: 30

[9:23:21 AM] Arch: 10 for damaging, 30 for a kill

[9:23:26 AM] Arch: This could be >Lyn Mode

[9:23:39 AM] Yetiman: I"m in ELiwood normal I think

[9:24:02 AM] Arch: EN is in Eli Norm too

[9:24:08 AM] Arch: As is Do5

[9:26:16 AM] Arch: Level 7 Hero Eliwood kills a Level 7 Druid

[9:26:18 AM] Arch: 71 EXP

[9:26:31 AM] Arch: Would the mode coefficient be what’s fucking everything up?

[9:27:08 AM] Arch: 71 EXP for killing a Hero of the same level too

[9:27:50 AM] Arch: For Eliwood Normal mode, Hector Normal mode and the Link Arena, if Experience from defeating (base) is calculated as 0 or negative, this value becomes 2 instead. For all other cases it remains 1.

[9:27:51 AM] Yetiman: 65 for pent killing lvl 3 general, 10 for attacking, 72 for a lvl 8 sage, 10 for attack

[9:28:34 AM] Yetiman: it’s dividing the number that should be subtracted by 2 instead of 1

[9:28:42 AM] Yetiman: I see why it’s causing a problem now

[9:29:24 AM] Yetiman: for a t2 unit that’s dividing the (60 + level) of the promoted unit by 2, so you get ~30 more exp

[9:29:26 AM] Yetiman: wait

[9:29:52 AM] Yetiman: ARE YOU

[9:29:52 AM] Yetiman: THAT

[9:29:56 AM] Yetiman: sagfafsafg

[9:30:04 AM] Yetiman: lvl 8 pent kills lvl 8 sage, 72 exp

[9:30:16 AM] Yetiman: lvl 9 pent kills lvl 8 sage, 71 exp

[9:30:26 AM] Yetiman: lvl 7 pent kills lvl 8 sage, /33 exp/

[9:31:00 AM] Yetiman: FE7 normal mode /explicitly makes it easier to play using units that are higher level than the enemy/

[9:31:12 AM] Tiamo: |D

[9:31:14 AM] Arch: XDDDDDD

Thankfully, @CT075 provided a fix to this mode coefficient nonsense. In a hex editor, at offset 29e98, you should see 0c d0. Change that to 00 00.

For FE8:

At 0x2C474, you’ll see 01 28 0D D0.

Change them to 00 00 00 00. This will fix the mode coefficient problem in FE8, which applies in Chapters 1-8 on any difficulty mode.

Am I reading that topic right, or is it saying that if you’re underleveled compared to another unit, you get /less/ exp than if you were higher level than them? (And this edit fixes that)

Yeah, that’s correct.

IS confirmed idiots.

Thank god for modders.

They do the same thing in FE7’s normal modes, iirc.
