	~~The "~~/~~BALANCE~~/~~m_level~~.~~bin" file in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky~~/~~Time~~/~~Darkness contains level~~-up data for all the Pokemon in the game. Its a [[Pmd2_BIN_pack\|pack file]] containing one entry per Pokemon. The index/order of the entry for each Pokemon is identical to the order of the entries in the [[Pmd2_monster.md\|monster.md]] file, and that's how they're assigned. However, in Explorers of Sky, the m_level.bin file's number of entries was cut in half, removing most redundant entries.(see [[Pmd2_monster.md\|monster.md]] for more details on why its redundant )		{{#externalredirect: https://projectpokemon.org/docs/mystery-dungeon-nds/m_levelbin-file-format-r55/}}

	~~:* Explorers of Sky: Contains 571 entries.~~
	~~:* Explorers of Time~~/~~Darkness: Contains 1,192 entries.~~
	:* The stats the Pokemon has on level 1 are contained within its entry inside the [[Pmd2_monster.md\|monster.md]] file! Not in m_level.bin! What is in m_level.bin is merely added to those stats as the Pokemon grows in level.

	~~Each individual entry/sub~~-file is a [[Pmd2_PKDPX\|PKDPX]] compressed container. Once decompressed, the data is simply 100, 12 bytes entries one after the other.

The "/BALANCE/m_level.bin" file in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky/Time/Darkness contains level-up data for all the Pokemon in the game. Its a [[Pmd2_BIN_pack|pack file]] containing one entry per Pokemon. The index/order of the entry for each Pokemon is identical to the order of the entries in the [[Pmd2_monster.md|monster.md]] file, and that's how they're assigned. However, in Explorers of Sky, the m_level.bin file's number of entries was cut in half, removing most redundant entries.(see [[Pmd2_monster.md|monster.md]] for more details on why its redundant )

;Notes:
:* Explorers of Sky: Contains 571 entries.
:* Explorers of Time/Darkness: Contains 1,192 entries.
:* The stats the Pokemon has on level 1 are contained within its entry inside the [[Pmd2_monster.md|monster.md]] file! Not in m_level.bin! What is in m_level.bin is merely added to those stats as the Pokemon grows in level.

== File Structure ==
See the [[Pmd2_BIN_pack|pack file]] page, for details on how the container is organized. This page will focus on the particularities of the content, not the container.

Each individual entry/sub-file is a [[Pmd2_PKDPX|PKDPX]] compressed container. Once decompressed, the data is simply 100, 12 bytes entries one after the other. Each of those entries contains the total experience required to reach this level, and the stats growth after the level has been reached.
