Cannot Confirm Leveling: Level Up Cheats Not Working Correctly

Pieter Boelen said:
Wow, you're even showing it in the Character Interface! :shock

Yup, it's not perfect but its mostly used for testing and stuff so I figured it could help :).

the onscreen message will also show to which level you leveled (fake) now.

I saw that too and was admittedly quite tempted to get rid of that again.
Might become a bit "information overload" for the players. We've done many years without those details.
But indeed for testing, it can certainly be useful. :yes

Nobody else will use the fake levelup :p.
During normal play you wont encounter a fake level up (right?). And the interface will only show the two levels once a fake level up is done.

It is one of the cheats in the Cheatmode, so any player could use it once they enable it.

I know, but on a normal playtrough it shouldn't be used unless you are going to cheat :p.
Feel free to remove the interface thing again. I did that before I later remember I could just add it to the onscreen message.

This would be my suggestion:
Code: 
int GetTotalRank(ref chr)
{
   int charRank = sti(chr.rank);
   if(CheckAttribute(chr, "FakeLevels")) charRank += sti(chr.FakeLevels);
   return charRank;
}
And:
Code: 
  if(DEBUG_EXPERIENCE>0)   GameInterface.strings.Rank = xi_refCharacter.rank+"-"+GetTotalRank(xi_refCharacter);
   else           GameInterface.strings.Rank = GetTotalRank(xi_refCharacter);
And:
Code: 
        LevelUp_Cheat(rcPassenger, 0);
         if(DEBUG_EXPERIENCE>0)
         {
           Log_SetStringToLog(TranslateString("","Fake Level Up") + " to: " + GetTotalRank(rcPassenger) + " for " + Cheat_ScrollCharacterName(mc.scrollchars) + "!");
         }
         else
         {
           Log_SetStringToLog(TranslateString("","Fake Level Up") + " for " + Cheat_ScrollCharacterName(mc.scrollchars) + "!");
         }
       break;
As you said, could still be nice for debug purposes.

Or even better:
Code: 
    string LevelText = "";
     //Display the levelup
     if(IsInParty(GetMainCharacterIndex(), sti(chref.index)))
     {
       if(CheckAttribute(chref,"FakeLevelUp"))
       {
         LevelText = TranslateString("","Fake Level Up") + " for " + GetMySimpleName(chref) + "!" + " " + TranslateString("","(Now level") + " " + chref.rank + ")";
       }
       else
       {
         LevelText = GetMySimpleName(chref) + " " + TranslateString("","has gained a new level!") + " " + TranslateString("","(Now level") + " " + GetTotalRank(chref) + ")");
         PlayStereoSound("interface\new_level.wav");
         AddMsgToCharacter(chref,MSGICON_LEVELUP);
       }
       LogIt(LevelText);
     }
     else
     {
       LevelText = GetMySimpleName(chref) + " " + TranslateString("","has gained a new level!") + " " + TranslateString("","(Now level") + " " + GetTotalRank(chref) + ")");
       //This character has noone to choose his perks so we must do it for him.
       if(firstlevelup) { PrepareSelectPerksForCharacter(chref); firstlevelup = false;}
       SelectPerksForCharacter(chref);
     }
     // LDH 01May09
     if(DEBUG_EXPERIENCE>0) Trace(LevelText);
Creates a bit of uniformity between the two types of Level-Up and gets rid of the code in seadogs.c by putting it where it belongs.
It does look a bit reversed though where I had to use GetTotalRank and chref.rank exactly the way I hadn't expected.
Oh well, looks to behave the way it always did now.
 
Just loaded 9/16 started new game. Enabled cheatmode and sidestep. Pressing 4 on the NUM pad does nothing, and sidestep is not working. Also locked perks is set to 0 and perks are still locked. Baffling or WTF?

What exact starting settings did you use? Do any of the other cheats work?
What settings did you change?
 
I used the settings I always use and when I looked in internal settings after I installed the most recent update all of the changes I usually make: stormy start, sail to and fast travel, locked perks, gun dousing, sidestep and cheat mode were unchanged from my last game.
 
I can´t confirm those problems, sidestep works and Num. pad 4 brings me one level up.o_O

Free Play storyline with Brave Black Flag default character, is it? Or not?

That is correct. I started a new game after the upload. All this was working in the 9/7 version.

REinstalled update everything is now working.
