This is an old question, I remember it from the old TLR boards.
The desire is to have an evenly incremented Rank. A new player with about 50,000 credits would show as rank 1, A player with a net worth of 1 billion would show as rank 45 and a player with a net worth of 2 billion would show as rank 90. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Ptough is restricted to level 40. It keeps going until 999,999,999 is reached, taking the previous value * 1.125. If you can be more specific about what you want, I can hack the calculation. If you want to DIY, go to 0A9E00 in content.dll and 0A9DE8 & 0A9F75 to set the limit to stop. If you want to type 'em all in, go to 0A9D8E and change 40b to whatever (127 max, although I'm not really sure if it allocates the extra space).

With this hack you can define all level requirements in pthough.ini?

is it possible, instead of a rank number to show a string like "recruit", "pilot", "ace", "veteran" and such? therefore ofc making less ranks possible?

@Sethernis: I believe so. Here's one that ignores the test altogether, theoretically allowing any number of levels: 0A9D93, 7F->EB.
@Gisteron: Why not use a range, thus having both? For example, if recruit is 1..5 and pilot is 6..10, it could show as "Recruit (2)" or "9 - Pilot". If you want fewer ranks, use the patch above (assuming you want more than 40) and make the last rank at 999 999 999 (or whatever limit you set).

so, the number in ptough.ini is not a numeric value but a string you can define directly?

Thanks adoxa. Now it is finally possible to define ranks for players using ptough.

@Gisteron: No, I meant rather than having one rank as one name, have a range of ranks associated to a single name and display both. It'll take a plugin to actually display the name.

Here it is. Read ranks.cpp for the instructions - hope you can follow them. Oh, forgot to say how to install it: copy ranks.dll to EXE and add it to [Libraries] in EXE\dacom.ini.
So, after one year at T SP, that makes 25 plugins (more or less).

Heh, finished it before you posted. Here is what we did. We went straight to the 0a9d8e and changed the 28 to 64 (assuming this meant rank 40 to 100). Then I built a custom ptough.ini with my desired ranges of money to rank 100 and tested it. Worked like a charm! Thanks adoxa!
UnderVerse 2.25 release, Rank vs Net Worth Thanks to Adoxa for the hex edit and to [RIP]d3jake for helping me insert it. New player = Rank 1 (formerly Rank 24) Sell the manual ($5 million) = Rank 5 (formerly Rank 44) Gain $5 million more = Rank 10 (then you are fair game) (formerly Rank 50) $1 billion net worth = Rank 50 (formerly Rank 89) $2 billion net worth = Rank 100 (formerly Rank 90) Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Hi, sorry for bumping old topic.
So I've been doing some research on this and ptough.ini, and found some things:
Hope this clears things up a bit.
