#2578 Stendhal: after death, wrong level is displayed

[Katie Russell]

After a player dies the new level is supposed to be
displayed in the text box. As far as I recall, this
worked correctly in 0.51. However in 0.52 (not sure
about 0.53) the new level message is usually wrong.
I.e. it'll say 'xx has died, xx's new level is 41',
which was xx's old level, and really xx will have
dropped to 40.

If I'm reading this correctly, the problem is that
RPEntity::onDead() wants to have the old value of the dead
person's XP for calculating XP reward for the killer, then
it invokes the update that produces this erroneous message,
*then* the rest of Player::onDead() is executed, lowering
the XP value. I propose that XP be updated *before* the call
to super.onDead() (that is, RPEntity::onDead()), and we
adjust the XP reward calculations to take that into account.
That is, every getXP() in RPEntity::onDead() should be
multiplied by 10/9 (since the XP reduction is currently
10%). I shall post a patch to this effect later.

This should be fixed by patch 1570890

When I last died, in version 0.55, There was no 'new level'
message at all. However my health points remained at the
value they had been before death (1030, incidentally, I was
lvl 93) - yet in reality I had dropped to level 89 or 90, as
the next XP I earned gave a message saying 'kymara reaches
level 90', and my HP changed to 1000 which is correct for a
level 90 character. Unfortunately I did not perform 'Look'
straight after death to see if I was 89 (and one point away
from 90) or 90 (but the system hadn't told me that yet).
This is quite confusing, can someone look into it again please?

As of 0.58, after a person dies there level remains the same (HP and all) until they gain XP from any source.
