LevelExp.dat

This file was used in Conquer 1.0 and some early Conquer 2.0 patches (superseded by LevExp.dat)

It maps each level to the experience points required to reach the next level.

File Structure

The file is a flat array of UInt32 values, one per level. Levels start at 1, where i is the zero-based array index:

Encryption

Each UInt32 in the file is XOR-encrypted using a hardcoded 27-byte Chinese string: ★就这样被你蒸熟★.

In bytes, this UTF-8 string is: E2 98 85 E5 B0 B1 E8 BF 99 E6 A0 B7 E8 A2 AB E4 BD A0 E8 92 B8 E7 86 9F E2 98 85 which is used as the XOR key (each byte treated as a signed char).

Parsing Script

The following Python script decodes LevelExp.dat and prints each level alongside its EXP requirement.

Pass the filepath as the first argument. Example: python3 levelexp_decode.py LevelExp.dat

import struct, sys, math

KEY = bytes.fromhex("E29885E5B0B1E8BF99E6A0B7E8A2ABE4BDA0E892B8E7869FE29885")

with open(sys.argv[1], "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()

    count = math.floor(len(data) / 4) # Find number of levels based on file size
    values = struct.unpack(f"<{count}I", data)

    for level in range(1, count + 1):
        key_byte = KEY[(level - 1) % len(KEY)]
        mask = (key_byte | 0xFFFFFF00) if key_byte > 0x7F else key_byte # Signed Byte
        exp = (values[level - 1] ^ mask) & 0xFFFFFFFF
        print(f"Level {level}: {exp} EXP")
