Leveling up! Action RPG... of Rage?

[SaintJudas]

I'm not sure if anyone had put up a tutorial concerning how to do this. I thought I saw one on Lavalit, But if there was... I can't find it now
I know Pierwolf was using a Level-Up system with "The Endless Quest".
If you know how to get this going, Would you mind sharing it with us?

The scripts needed from his mod are,

data/scripts/score1.c
data/scripts/score2.c
data/scripts/score3.c
data/scripts/score4.c
data/scripts/reset.c
data/scripts/score1.c
data/scripts/spawn/player.c
data/scripts/spawn/player1.c
data/scripts/spawn/lvup.c
data/scripts/spawn/lvupsc.c

You will also need the levelup entity (the text entity), example is under data/chars/misc/levelup

Each char using the script needs this added to header -

onspawnscript      data/scripts/spawn/player.c

--------------

The script prevents you from having stage complete screen, openbor will crash if you do.

Down below is a RAR file of the scripts folder from "The Endless Quest". Thanks for the heads up Beastie!
Please understand, there's no disrespect intended here, but I'm looking for a clearer explanation if possible.

On to business, Beastie just explained how to set it up. From what I can guess, this script uses the players score as experience points. That's all we've got so far, But it's one step closer to level-ups being as commonplace as palette swaps.
On to some other questions.
(1) What does each script do?
(2) How do they relate to each other?
(2) Can it be modified in any way? Customizing Experience tables?
If you have even the smallest bit of information to add to this, please do.
Share the awesome with the rest of us  ;D

No takers?

For now your best bet is to unpack the mod and try to lean from it !

Or better yet use The Endless Quest mod a base for your mod !

You know, why don't you forget that mod and you take simple start and from the basic?

Let's start with this question: what is the source of experience? score or anything else?
Then how much experience required to level up?
When level up occurs, what happens next?
a. Anything to show?
b. Any stats to increase? (why would we go all this trouble without this?)
c. What is the next limit for level up?

These basic questions will help you making your own level up system.

... I like your questions better than mine. Fooey! Lol
All jokes aside, this is great. An open dialog about how to get this accomplished is just what we need. Please, anyone who's got 2 cents, cast them in!

Nothing guys?
I'm not trying to put a mod together. I'm collecting info to make a tutorial. I figure once someone puts up a tutorial, features become more common place.
