Hej there,

let's say I want to add a few more abilities for one skill my approach would be to add some more XML elements in skill_types.xml. But I've have to use an ability ID which is not yet used for each new added ability (otherwise all skills and abilities will be unavailable, each ID has to be unique).

So far so good, here is the problem: how do I register my recently new added abilities (or skills) ?

The server log file indicates that this step is neccessary in order to use skills and abilities.

Code: Select all

<prepareManagers> [0] ECHO Loading skills types from [data/skill_types.xml]
ERRR <prepareManagers> [0] AbilityManager::_parseXmlAbilityNode() - using of unregistered ability (id=275)
ERRR <prepareManagers> [0] CmSkillsManager::selectSkillTypes() - error alilities parsing. All skills and abilities will be unavailable!

Is there a runable script or a prepareManager::AbilityManager/CmSkillsManager function which can be used to register a ability or skill?

Your help is greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance!

You cannot add new abilities/skills with skill_types.xml, because new skill requires action logic.
skill_types.xml describes and configures predefined abilities and skills. You can only re-configure or limit skill amount with altering skill_types.xml.

To add new skills, a client-side and server-side modification required in order to provide the logic.

Spoiler

Probably, BasilMod::Pack v6+(or something like that) will be able to provide support for custom actions, so you can create own actions, and define logic for them.

Thanks for your reply Custodian.
Though the skill action logic could be the same if I copy a ability to another skill the ID has to be unique. And the ability has to be registered. eg. separating smithing into weapon smithing and armor smithing both with smelting and forging abilities.

Too bad that we don't have a MOD API or a possibility to realize our ideas in a simpler way Meh, atm the only way is to extend the code - decompiling, analyzing and developing.

I am looking forward to see more of your upcoming greatful BasilMod::Pack updates and features. Maybe you'll create a MOD API

Any news for that modification?
