Custom Skill Framework

This mod is a framework that allows custom skill mods to be added to the game.

It doesn't do anything by itself, but is a requirement for custom skill mods that use it. An example is:

Movement Speed Skill

Creating Custom Skills

Creating custom skills requires basic knowledge of C# and whatever method you use to have your custom skill modify the game code behaviour.

Modifying game behaviour because of your skill must handled by your custom skill mod. This mod does the following:

• []Shows your skill in the specified category in UI Character

  []Handles skill increasing

  []Saves skills and loads skills from saves

  []Lets you retrieve your skill's value for a given character

  All you have to do to register your skill is set this mod as a dependency for your project, then in Start():

  private void Start()

  SkillFramework. SkillAPI. AddSkill(skillId, skillName, skillDescription, skillCategory, skillIcon, maxPoints, reqLevel, isActive);

  skillId must be unique

  skillName and skillDescription must be List<string> with four entries for English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese.

  skillCategory must be the zero-indexed integer of the skill category (i.e. the four skill categories).

  skillIcon is a Texture2D that you load from file with something like

  Texture2D skillIcon = new Texture2D(1, 1);

  if(File. Exists(Path. Combine(assetPath, "icon.png")))

  skillIcon. LoadImage(File. ReadAllBytes(Path. Combine(assetPath,"icon.png")));

  maxPoints is a positive integer, default skills have a max of 5.

  reqLevel - I'm not sure if this even does anything yet.

  isActive - for the UI to tell the user whether this is an active or passive skill (has no effect on gameplay).

  When you want your skill to do something, you get a character's skill level by calling

  SkillFramework. SkillAPI. GetCharacterSkillLevel(skillId, __instance.name)

  For an example, you can look at the Movement Speed Skill code.

  Config

  A config file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn. SkillFramework.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod.

  You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or using the Configuration Manager mod.
