is it possible to give the swapped out characters some experience everytime the main party gets some? so they wouldn't be left out...

You can indirectly find out how much experience a hero gained by checking how much experience they have before and after a battle, using the 'plot:total experience' command. This is a bit tricky, because if you check any single hero, they might be dead and not have gained any XP. So here's a really ugly instead-of-battle script that checks the XP gained by all the heroes in the battle party and then gives all the heroes in the reserve party the same amount:

Code:
plotscript, insteadofbattle, formation, begin
  variable (b0, b1, b2, b3, a0, a1, a2, a3, gained)
  if (hero by slot (0) <> -1) then (b0 := total experience (0))
  if (hero by slot (1) <> -1) then (b1 := total experience (1))
  if (hero by slot (2) <> -1) then (b2 := total experience (2))
  if (hero by slot (3) <> -1) then (b3 := total experience (3))

  fight formation (formation)

  if (hero by slot (0) <> -1) then (a0 := total experience (0))
  if (hero by slot (1) <> -1) then (a1 := total experience (1))
  if (hero by slot (2) <> -1) then (a2 := total experience (2))
  if (hero by slot (3) <> -1) then (a3 := total experience (3))
  if (a0 >> b0) then (gained := a0 -- b0)
  if (a1 >> b1) then (gained := a1 -- b1)
  if (a2 >> b2) then (gained := a2 -- b2)
  if (a3 >> b3) then (gained := a3 -- b3)

  variable (i)
  for (i, 4, 40) do (
    if (hero by slot (i) <> -1) then (give experience (i, gained))
  )
end

There's a "dead heroes get XP" bitset now, isn't there? Presumably, if the people who didn't participate get XP, the dead ones who did should, too.
