Help with level up meter

[Outcast]

I have got stuck on a problem I just can't get around. What I want to do is have a "Level up meter" that fills up if the player have points over. So for example the max value of the level up counter at level 1 is 250, then it becomes 500 at level 2, 1000 at level 3 and so on. So the points the player have scored will go toward the level up meter filling up again, but roughly at the same speed, even if the max value is bigger.

I am using a 1 pixel line in length to represent the level meter so what I am actually doing is increasing the X scale. Could someone help with how I can achieve this? It is basically the thing happening in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjCyc...tailpage#t=494
The level meter is filling up at roughly the same speed.

I have attached an example I began working on, but it is obviously not working right :/

So you're saying you double the max value every level, and when you overflow past a level you want the bar to continue to rise at the same proportional speed even though it should appear to be going up half as fast the next time around? If so, just double the left over points when you level up.

LeftoverPoints = NewPoints - ((TotalPoints + NewPoints) % Max)
LeftoverPoints = LeftoverPoints * 2

Hmm Jacob I am not sure I follow :/ Is it possible to adjust my example file with this method?
