SkillMaker RobustCompatibilityPatch

1st off thank you alphaZomega for a hell of a Mod. This is a feat in modding that you brought the community. I am grateful for your skills and vision for DD2 modding.

What this mod is:

This is a Robust Compatibility Patch for Skill Maker in Dragon's Dogma 2. It’s the same Skill Maker you already love—but hardened so it keeps working across messy real-world mod setups where different scripts, helper libraries, and load orders don’t always agree with each other.

In plain terms: it’s a “make it stop crashing and stop screaming in red” build.

Why it was made:

A lot of us run big REFramework stacks. Over time, you end up with:

• []helper functions that some installs have and others don’t,

  []config values that sometimes come in as strings instead of numbers,

  []UI code that errors mid-draw and triggers Dear ImGui warnings like Missing EndGroup / EndChild / PopID.

• []Prevents ScriptRunner startup/draw crashes caused by missing helper functions (common “nil value” calls).

  []Fixes the classic number vs string comparison crash that breaks the UI.

  []Stops Dear ImGui red warnings by preventing draw-time errors that leave UI stacks unbalanced.

  []Ensures Skill Maker stays visible and usable under Script Generated UI, so you can actually configure skills.

• []It doesn’t redesign Skill Maker or change its purpose.

  []It’s not a balance mod, not a content mod—just stability/compatibility hardening.

  []If you have a perfectly clean setup, you may never need it.

Who should use it:

Use this if Skill Maker:

• []throws ScriptRunner errors,

  []disappears from Script Generated UI,

• or works but spams red Dear ImGui warnings.
