Go into act.wizard.c and edit do_advance
In it is code that wont let you advance yourself above your own level.
Comment that out for a second.
That would be the:
/*
if (newlevel > GET_LEVEL(ch)) {
send_to_char("Yeah, right.\r\n");
return;
}
*/
Secondly in interpreter.c change the line for what level you must be to
use the advance command from
LVL_IMPL to 0 or 34 perhaps
recompile and enter game, advance yourself to any level at all.
Shutdown and uncomment out that bit in act.wizard.c and change the
advance command back to LVL_IMPL
recompile and go back, Voila!

I dont change the current values, just add on to the end for the new levels.
I kindof consider changing the exp values for existing levels to be a
seperate issue. Adding levels, means, to me, adding the levels, spells,
titles etc.. table values, whatnot
But adding, not rearranging
Once you start mucking with the existing levels, you open up a can of
worms IMHO
You must edit all the players levels, means hours of designing what
everyone gets at every level, prolly does mean a pwipe, pisses players off
Then worse yet, you get to edit every single mob in the game, to adjust
the exp awarded to match, or your game is non completely unbalanced as
far as leveling goes.
I tried it once, but its a complete mess, and means mucking with a system
that works as is.
Can be done, but means long weeks of debugging to see that people arent
leveling too fast, too slow etc.
