Hi! In multiplayer, it looks like anyone can alter the XP multiplier. Is there a way to make sure that players are unable to crank their own XP gains up so it's controlled by the server instead? Thank you!

Hi, in multiplayer, players without special permissions can change the xp multiplier, breaking progress, is there a solution so that the xp multiplier can be configured from the server configuration?

Since installing this mod, I've been gaining sprinting levels significantly faster. Good to know just how badly RNG screwed me over.

does it only fill up for sprinting? or does it also fill when running? i know the base game gives xp equally for both

Is it possible to do same mod but with lightfoot and/or sneaking? tried doing it myself basing on your code but failed

Does this work in MP?

Agree with FrancisPJ , that would be great.
KarpJoe Dec 27, 2021 @ 12:43am 
Any chance of just getting an all in one mod? Your's are pretty awesome.
asierm Dec 25, 2021 @ 4:36am 
This and your other mods are available to mp?

@Rafał No problem at all. Glad you enjoy it!
Rafał Dec 22, 2021 @ 8:18pm 
Now I understand. Thanks for explaination! Sorry for not understanding at first (now that I read it, I see - you gave me really all information in first answer).

I think I'm fine with mod, as it is. I thought this mod replaced vanilla mechanics, but now that I think about it, vanilla XP rates are extremally slow, even though I picked gymastic sprinter, so I'm anyway getting it way faster than I would without those multipliers.

Thanks for cool mods : )
ConquerorKoala  [author] Dec 22, 2021 @ 5:42pm 
@Rafał The amount of XP in vanilla is calculated through what is essentially "luck". You can get similar vanilla xp rates with an xp reward of about 1, and 1500 or 2000 delay. This would be about vanilla rates, if you have standard luck. However, due to the luck based vanilla xp not being removed by this mod, if you do the above settings, you would get double vanilla rates (1x from vanilla, and another 1x from the mod settings). I can upload a possibly less compatible (with other mods that is) version which would stop the vanilla xp gains if you would like, making only the mod settings give you xp. Just let me know! Hope this helps.
Rafał Dec 22, 2021 @ 2:43pm 
I meant - if for example I run to train with this mod and I run to train without this mod, will the speed of gaining XP be same? Or how to set up mod, so it doesn't give me more XP then vanilla would?
ConquerorKoala  [author] Dec 22, 2021 @ 1:53pm 
@Rafał The mod,in order to be compatible with other mods, does not change or remove the vanilla xp system. This means that any xp settings you have are bonuses to vanilla xp.
Rafał Dec 22, 2021 @ 10:21am 
Hello, how does default settings compare to vanilla game? I mean I have 10x and delay 1000. I guess it is balanced to be roughly same speed as without mod?
Point is - I don't want to exp those skills faster, I just want to see them go up gradually while I run.

@Conqueror Koala its aight brudda thank you, and yh i was looking for a mod like this for so long (if you could do that with every other skills, just be able to set the xp gain in general for any skill would be really nice, it would be a really cool mod, and i haven't saw one mod that does this)
ConquerorKoala  [author] Nov 20, 2021 @ 2:09pm 
Oops! Sorry, I had thought this was the Nimble XP page because I did not pay enough attention.
I have now implemented ModOptions into Sprinting XP, so make sure you have the latest version!
With ModOptions support now release, you can simply follow my instructions I had given for nimble XP, as Sprinting should now appear in your Mods option tab.
Viper Nov 20, 2021 @ 8:02am 
@ Conqueror Koala could you enable the Mod Options for this mod too? Same as the other guy, I would like to tone it down slightly. Sprinting XP is really easy to get with these default settings.
Mehdi Nov 20, 2021 @ 2:23am 
@Conqueror Koala ah nice thank you, but what about the sprint xp?? i can't find it anywhere
ConquerorKoala  [author] Nov 19, 2021 @ 1:59pm 
@Luzraael
If you want to change the options, be sure the mod called: ModOptions
is installed. When it is installed and BOTH my mod and ModOptions are enabled, you can go to options->(mods)-> and there is a tab for xp rewards and xp delays for nimble
Mehdi Nov 19, 2021 @ 9:25am 
where is the parameters to change the amount of xp you gain please guys i feel like its op

@Smolcream Standardized Nimble XP is now available. Requires ModOptions, and allows you to change the XP rates through the ModOptions tab in the menu and in game.
E_Tgirl Nov 9, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
that be awesome! I find it weird its rng?
ConquerorKoala  [author] Nov 9, 2021 @ 12:42pm 
@Smolcream Nimble works the exact same way as sprinting, but it requires you to be in combat mode (holding right click or ctrl), and sure I can make a mod for nimble as well. Expect it on the way!
E_Tgirl Nov 9, 2021 @ 9:35am 
I never had any idea that sprinting worked this way in the vanilla game. Is this how other skills are like nimble too? if so do you have plans on making some type of mod that would add another way like this but for nimble. Only asking because I was trying to level it and I think i have walked around the house for a full in game day and barely have gotten any where in the nimble skill, could only imagine level 10 nimble is close to impossible.
Ickerion Kane Nov 4, 2021 @ 7:32am 
Oh, that's some good insight - should've checked the comments earlier. In any case, thank you for your work - that's a great mod to relieve some grinding off player's shoulders!
ConquerorKoala  [author] Nov 2, 2021 @ 6:10pm 
I mean, judging by your words there will be two independent sources of experience

Yes, there are two independent sources of experience for sprinting, vanilla and my own.
I made mine separate so that other mods that edit the XpUpdate.lua file will still be compatible.


Lastly, if I find out how to incorporate Mod Options, I will be sure to do so; however, I would not have high hopes as lua is so new to me.

Hope this helps!
ConquerorKoala  [author] Nov 2, 2021 @ 6:10pm 
Oh, and is the "15.65" seconds modifiable via mod-options, or it is required to go into files and modify it yourself?

I was not able to figure out to implement Mod Options into my code, mainly because I am not familiar with Lua, so you must enter the files and modify it yourself. I formatted the code to be extremely straight forward so its easy to modify.
To get to the file navigate to:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2638088934\mods\Standardized Sprinting XP\media\lua\server\XpSystem
Inside is a file called SprintingXpUpdate.lua that you can open with notepad.
there are only two variables inside, both are labeled:
SprintingXpMultiplier=10;
SprintingXpDelay=1000;

SprintingXpMultiplier is your XP reward for filling the progress bar, and
SprintingXpDelay is how long it takes to fill the progress bar. 1000 is around 15.65 seconds, and
100 is around 1.565 seconds and so on.
Just hit save and reload your game, and your new XP values will be in effect!

@Ickerion Kane
Does it get modified by typical *(number)XP from additional level of sprinting in chars or is it completely standalone, as you mentioned, and will grant you 10 xp indiscriminately?

There are two things at work in this mod, the XP reward for filling the progress bar, and the progress bar itself. The traits you pick at character creation, such as the Runner trait, do impact the XP reward; however, they do not make the progress bar fill any faster.
Example: it takes 15.65 seconds to fill the bar with or without the runner trait.
The XP reward is 10xp without runner and around 12.5xp with runner.
It is hard to find out the exact way that the xp multipliers impact the XP reward, because I could not find that piece of their code, sorry!

I like the idea of your mod, but what are the specifics? Does it get modified by typical *(number)XP from additional level of sprinting in chars or is it completely standalone, as you mentioned, and will grant you 10 xp indiscriminately? I mean, judging by your words there will be two independent sources of experience, so I'm curious how the numbers will be affected.
