Wait, if you can modify skill interface..

That means you can remove skill lines and have an actual good GUI

About the crossbows.. Why the hell not ?
Crossbows were used for that very reason : it was easy to learn, even for the peasants. But to avoid making it the simplest weapon to learn, and still an all-round powerful one, you should make very heavy armors like full plate and heavy scale very very strong against it

So, Maegfaer, you can create desired skill configuration with parents/childs relations and we will make a window for it.
If icons cannot be fitted into window, we can stretch/redraw window

How to test layout.

Spoiler

Previous post screenshots was made with this version running.

Client-side modification. It will create new layout based on your skill_types

Place it into "basilmod/tests/skillbook" folder of LiF client.

Execute at console:
exec("basilmod/tests/skillbook/skillbook.cs");
To auto-execute on client start, add this line to main.cs at the end.

If you change parents/childs within same page you can execute command once more to reload file, and re-open skill book to see the results.

If you change skill "Group", you need to restart server/client.

This is PoC modifications, before release, other changes may be required.

I'll make this mod compatible and will add it to BasilMod::Pack, so skill configuration could be downloaded from server to updated on the client side automatically.

That's magnificent man!

I wonder if you can also move the used/max skillpoints display to be at the top of the skill book rather than at the bottom? Because then we can add even more rows. It's easy to increase the dimensions of the skill book window (data\presets\HUD\First\SkillsWindow.obj) and it's also easy to add a bigger background (the actual book).

If moving that display is possible, we could even put all crafting and combat skills in the same group. Then players will have to divide points between crafting and combat. I'd be very interested to run an experiment to see how that turns out in practice.

As I said earlier, we can add more rows/column (they are dynamic in the mod I shared), alter backround, resize widow, shuffle elements.
More rows can be added, and skill points display can still be placed after last row.

(data\presets\HUD\First\SkillsWindow.obj)

That's cached settings, they may not be applied(loaded) in some situations.
