This wasn't working for me, so I started doing some debugging.
Here's the trigger.
#VAR xpToLevel %1
#VAR tempXpValue (@xpIntoLevel + @xpToLevel)
#VAR PercentThroughLevel (@xpIntoLevel / @tempXpValue)
#SHOW xpIntoLevel: @xpIntoLevel
#SHOW xpToLevel: @xpToLevel
#SHOW tempXpValue: @tempXpValue
#SHOW PercentThroughLevel: @PercentThroughLevel

Here's the output:
You have acquired 167433680 experience points so far this level.
You need 39724719 experience points to gain level 72.

xpIntoLevel: 167433680
xpToLevel: 39724719
tempXpValue: 207158399
PercentThroughLevel: 0

Is cMud unable to do math on numbers this large? I've tried them all Integers, floats, autotypes... it evaluates to .80, so i thought I should try
#VAR PercentThroughLevel ((@xpIntoLevel / @tempXpValue)*100), but that still evaluated to 0.
I tried
#VAR PercentThroughLevel ((@xpIntoLevel *100 ) / @tempXpValue), but that evaluated to -2

Is there a reliable bigDecimal type variable?

Do:

#VAR PercentThroughLevel (@xpIntoLevel * 1.0 / @tempXpValue)

to convert the calculation into floating point.

thanks, that worked!

ok, next question... how do I truncate it so that I'm only seeing 2 places after the decimal point?

or better yet, how do i cast it back into an integer?

To truncate: %int
To round: %round

Also there is the %format function.
