📋 About This Mod

Denji - a Custom Skills Menu for CSF v3

An update/rework of Osmosis Wrench's Custom Skills Menu to bring it up to date with the Custom Skills Framework v3

The original mod is a hard requirement! Please support Osmosis Wrench, too - this mod wouldn't be here if not for their hard work.


The Custom Skills Menu adds a fifth option to the tween menu next to Skills. Clicking this option will bring you to a list of Custom Skill groups, and you can select any of these to bring up the corresponding skill tree.

Alternatively, you can set a key in the MCM to open the Custom Skills without the tween menu.

It should all work out of the box. The Custom Skills Menu reads the Custom Skills Framework v3 .json files and automatically generates the necessary data.

Configuration


You may find that the generated data is generic and poorly formatted. This you can configure manually, or download a pre-made configuration from elsewhere.

A configuration file is generated after you load a save, and you can find it in interface\MetaSkillsMenu\MSMData.json. You can edit the Name and Description to whatever you wish - once it's there, it won't get overwritten. You may also want to change the icon_loc - this should be a path to a .dds file that'll serve as the icon. Everything else should be left exactly as it is; any other changes should come automatically from other config files.

MSMData.json won't be in this mod's files. If you're using MO2, your best bet to find it is to use the Data tab in the right pane to search through your simulated directory.

Some Custom Skills are, for one reason or another, intentionally inaccessible through normal gameplay. Using the Custom Skills Menu for these skills, then, may bypass some requirements and make for a worse experience.

You can fix this by hiding the errant skills. Edit interface\MetaSkillsMenu\MSMHidden.json and set the Custom Skill's hidden to 1.

If you have configurations in your MSMData.json for skillsets you haven't installed, that's not a problem. CSM automatically disables them. Downloading one massive pre-made config for every Custom Skill under the sun is perfectly fine.

Requirements


To use this mod, you will need the following:

- The original Custom Skills Menu

- exiledviper and Exit-9B's Papyrus
