1.15.7 XLib and XSkills

[Xandu]

Hello and welcome to the Xlib and XSkills mod. These are technically two mods with the aim to add a character progression system to the game. I split this in two mods to seperate the systems behind the mods from the actual skills.

Xlib is an interface that does nothing noticeable at its own. It consists of two parts XLeveling and XEffects. XLeveling provides an interface to add skills and abilities to the game, does synchronisation between server and client and saves and loads data. And it provides a dialog that can be opend by pressing the 'O' key by default. I made it so that you can use this to implement your own skills to the game if you want and you don't have to rely on the ones i created. The mod also adds some general information for skills and abilities to the ingame handbook. XEffects provides an interface to add temporary or permanent effects to the game that can influence a player.

XSkills is an implementation for skills and abilities that uses XLeveling . You gather experience for different skills by doing certain actions. And if you have collected enough experience  you will get an additional ability point that you can use to increase the tier of an ability. 

This mod is still under development and some things will probably change. Never the less save games should always be compatible. If you have ideas for new abilities or skills i would like to hear them. If you find any bugs please report them to me so that i can fix them.

Configuration

The mod creates automatically config files for every skill. You can usually find them in this directory or something similar: C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\ModConfig\XLeveling. The files are named after the skill they represent.
You can also find a xleveling.json there which contains some general configurations. Here is a list of the things you can configure and a short explanation what everything means:

Spoiler

xleveling.json:

•  unlearnCooldown: The time you have to wait until you can use the ability unlearn mechanic again in real time minutes. You can set this to 0 to disable the need to wait.
• pointsForUnlearn: The number of unlearn points you need to decrease the tier of an ability. You can set this to 0 to disable the need for this points.
• expLossOnDeath: The relative value of experience you lose when you die. Values lower than 1.0 means you lose experience relativ to your earned experience for the next level. Values greater than 1.0 means you lose experience relativ to the total experience you need for the next level. In this case the values are interpreted as a percentage value. Notice that you can never lose a skill level.
• specialisationLimit: The base limit of specialisations/professions you can learn. Note that the number of specialisations can also be manipulated in other ways like an ability.
• expMult: The base multiplier for the all experience you earn. 

[skill].json:

• name, id: Internal values. Just ignore them.
• maxLevel: The maximum level you can reach in this skill.
• enabled: This value usually is always true. Set it to false to disable the skill. You can not earn experience in disabled skills and you can not use its abilities. Note that this does not remove any implementations of any skills or abilities for technical reasons.
• experience: So this part seems to be very confusing. The experience values change the experience you need to reach the next skill level. They not influence the experience you receive. If you want to change the value of experience you receive you have to change the value for a specific action. E.G. a lot of experience gain values are set in behaviors directly in the mods folder.(xskills/assets/xskills/patches) You can change these values with json patching. For some skills like cooking or metalworking there are no values defined. This is because there are technical implemented very different than other skills. But usually the experience for these skills are calculated dynamically and only have one base value. So you can change the experience you need to level up a skill instead of changing this base value as it would have the same effect.
• expEquation: This is the equation used to calculate the experience for a skill. Note that the equations take the level that you want to reach as an argument. So if you are level 1 you have to put 2 as level in the equation. Currently there are supported 3 different equations:
  • "quadratic": This is the default one for most skills: expValue * (level-2)^2 + (level-2) * expMult + expBase
  • "logarithmic": This is a logarithmic equation: ln(level - 1) * expMult + expBase
  • "exponential": This is a exponential equation: expMult^(level - 2) * expValue + expBase
• expBase, expMult, expValue: These are the values that are used by the equations to calculate the needed experience. You need to look at the equations to see what each value does. An equation does not need to use all values.   
• abilities: Each ability of a skill has an entry here to configure the ability.
  • name, id: Internal values again. Just ignore them. Are used to identify an ability. Changing them could result in unexpected behavior.
  • maxTier: The maximal tier of this ability. This does not effect requirements. If you want to change a  requirement you have to json-patch them.
  • minLevel: The skill level you need to learn this ability.
  • enabled: This value usually is always true. Set it to false to disable the ability. You can not use disabled abilities. Note that this does not remove any implementations of any abilities for technical reasons.
  • values: I think this one needs a little bit more explanation. Each ability has a set of values. This set somehow consist out of multiple subsets. Each subset represents one tier of the ability. Every ability needs a specific amount of values within each subset and each subset has the same number of values. So the number of total values in the set must always be a product of the number of values in each subset and the maximal tier. So the values look somehow like this: values = [subset0,subset1,...] = [[value0, value1,...],[value0, value1,...],...]. The position of a specific value in the set can be calculated by: tier * values per tier + value id. If you use a wrong number of values the mod will use the default values and will override the the values in the config file. But this is only important if you want to change the number of tiers of an ability. You can also just adjust a value of an ability. If you need a hint what value does effect what exactly you can look at the localisation files. They usually contain substrings like {0} which will be evaluated to the value with the id 0. So the first value in every subset.
• attributes: Some skills can have skill specific settings here.

Commands

This mod also adds some new commands to the game:

Spoiler

level [get|set|add|reset ] [Player] [Skill] [Level]

Sets or gets the level of a specific skill of a specific player. You can also add a specific amount of levels to the skill or reset all tiers of all abilities of this skill to zero. You can set the player or the skill to 'all' to affect all players or skills. You can use reset config [skill]/all to reset a configuration file for a specific skill or all skills.

exp [get|set|add] [Player] [Skill] [Experience]

Sets or gets the experience of a specific skill of a specific player. You can also add a specific amount of experience to the skill.

tier [get|set|add] [Player] [Skill] [Ability] [Tier]

Sets or gets the tier of a specific ability of a specific skill of a specific player. You can also add a specific amount of tiers to the ability.

skillset [save|load|delete|default] [SkillSetName]

You can save the skill set of the current game with the save command. This will also set the skill set of the current game to the new saved one. You can use this to load the saved skill set with the load command. So you can use the same skill set for different save games. The delete command will delete a saved skill set and the default command will reset the skill set of the current game to its default save game specific skill set.

Installation

As any other mods just download the .zip folders and put them into your games mod folder. Do not unpack the .zip folders.

Uninstallation

If you want to uninstall the mod make sure you have no meals or meal containers such as crocks left in your world with more than 4 ingredients in it. You can receive these from the happy meal (cooking) ability. Meals with more than 4 ingredients in your world without the mod will crash your game. Unfortunately crocks seem to be affected by this even when they do not have more than 4 ingredients in it. So you may need to remove every crock.

FAQ

Q: Can i change the minimum skill level i need to learn this ability or the experience i need to reach a skill level?

A: Yes you can. For Questions like this i recommend to look at the configuration section of the mod post first.

Q: How can i get unleran points?

A: You can just search in the handbook for consumables that give unlearn points. The exact search term could be language specific.

Q: Can i change the experience i get from mods or can i add experience to new modded mobs?

A: You can adjust the values in the mods json files and i think json patches shold work, too. You can find the file here: xskills/assets/xskills/patches/combat.json. You can also use this file as an example on how to add experience to new mobs.

Q: Can you release a version for the game version X. 

A: Probably: yes. But i only develop the mod for the newest game version. Providing support for older game versions would just be to much work. I may not be able to provide versions for every pre release version of the game since the game can change heavily between these updates and i sometimes need some time to adjust the code and sometimes i simply have not the time for this. So please wait at least 24 hours after the release of a game version before asking for a mod version for the game version.

Q: What does the all-rounder skill do?

A: First of all you can not choose another class with this ability. You can choose another XSkills Specialisation/Profession. These are a class of abilities that allows you to receive more experience for specific skills. By default you can just have one of these abilities. With the all-rounder ability you can have more than one. You can also identify these specialisation abilities by looking at the requirements in the tooltip. A few examples of these abilities are: farmer, miner, digger, metalworker.

Experience

In general you will get experience from doing skill related stuff. But since it was asked multiple times i will add a more detailed list here. 

Spoiler

• Survival: You will receive passive experience over time. But if you die you will lose a proportion of your earned experience.
• Farming: You will receive experience from gathering fully grown crops. You can also get some experience from harvesting non fully grown crops as long as they still drop some products. You will not receive experience from harvesting pumpkins since you could just place and harvest them in an infinite loop. But you can get some experience from breaking their vines.
• Digging: You will receive experience from breaking blocks like sand, dirt and gravel.
• Forestry: You will receive experience from cutting down trees. Only grown tree logs will give you experience points. You will also get some experience from digging up charcoal pits.
• Mining: You will receive experience from breaking ore and stone blocks.
• Husbandry: You will receive experience from killing animals. You will get more experience from more domesticated animals. You will also get some experience for milking and feeding animals as well as collecting eggs from hen boxes..
• Combat: You will receive experience from killing aggressive enemies.
• Metalworking: You will receive experience from doing casts and smithing work.
• Pottery: You will receive experience from creating objects with clay through the clay forming mechanics.
• Cooking: You will receive experience from cooking meals in a pot over a fire pit.
• Temporal Adaptation: You will receive passive experience from being in temporal unstable areas.

Create your own skills

To add new skills or abilities to the game you should be able to code. Preferably in c# or a similar language.
I recommend to set up your development environment like described here and here.
Notice that a mod that uses XLib or code from any other mod always has to be a compiled mod. Your mod only needs to add a reference to the XLib library(.dll file) if you want to add abilities or skills. Note that you may have to unzip the file to get direct access to the .dll library.  The xlib.zip also contains a xlib.xml file. It contains the documentation for xlib and you may want to add this file to your references, too.
I think it is always the easiest to learn from examples. So i made an example skill that shows the most important features of XLeveling.
You can find this example in the download section.

Hey Xandu,

your mod looks interesting, especially for RolePlay Servers, but my Problem is on Version: 1.12.8

that the "P" Menü looks not as yours, seems not compatible with my game or is it a known issue?

[Xandu]

Hey Trace Carver,
This looks like a localisation problem. What language are you using?

I think i found the issue. Seems to be a weird behavior. Should be fixed for the next version.

Uploaded an update. Localisation Should be fixed now. Also added the combat skill. There are no abilities yet, but you can collect experience from killing drifters.

Edited March 15, 2020 by Xandu

[Trace Carver]

Okay  Server runs on German, my Game too, will try your update and give you my answer :3

 

EDIT: Now it works, Thank you

Edited March 15, 2020 by Trace Carver

[Stuart Mitchell]

The P key is already bound to a different mod, how can we change it to a different key.

[Xandu]

After you entered a world you should have the possibility to change the key in the standard "settings->controls" Menu.

[Sammyo]

sorry my game dont work with this mod i have many errors ;-/

and i can not join on the server too

[Xandu]

Do you have an error report? You have installed both mods?

[Sammyo]

yes i have to mods

 

server-debug.txt server-event.txt server-main.txt server-storyevent.txt

[Sammyo]

sorry fpor my bad english ;-)))

[DrTenabrae]

Nice. As has been mentioned, you might want to change your default keybind as 'P' has been used by VSHUD forever. 'O' maybe ?

Tyron has talked about putting in a skill system before and reaction was mixed so it'll be really interesting to see how the community react to having one available.

Yeah i will probably do this. I had picked a random key that wasn't used by the vanilla game. But as mentioned above you can change it by yourself. 

I know. So thats why this is a mod and you can choose to use it. But I like progression systems and the feeling to get a little rewardfor everything you do.

[The_Lazy_Warlock]

This is awesome! Great job on this mod

[Kuddel]

hey, how can i put points into the skills? so far i cant click any of them or i dont gain any points

hey, how can i put points into the skills? so far i cant click any of them or i dont gain any points

You gain a ability point for every level you reach in a skill. To reach a new level you must gather experience. You will receive experience for different actions you do for example cutting down a tree should give you experience for your forestry skill. You can look up your experience in the dialog. 

You can then invest your ability points in abilities by clicking on them in the dialog. For most skills you need to fullfill requirements such as a specific skill level or you must know another ability.

Released version 0.1.2. It contains 14 new abilities, bugfixes and i changed the default key to 'o' as suggested.

[Xandu]

Fixed a bug causing that you needed two more skill levels than intentioned to increase an ability tier level. I am very sorry for this one. You only need to update xleveling for this. I also added a notification when you reached a new skilllevel.

I plan to add configuration files for the next update. I keep this in my mind and try to add it.

Hi thanks for this, the core game really needs an option to have this imo but mods save the day again. Now my issue is every time we try to cut down a tree with an axe we get kicked off the server. Here is the error code from the log file:

Hi. I thought i fixed this kind of errors with the latest update. I probably must test this with your mods.

[Xandu]

Uploaded Version 0.1.4. 
- Added a config file for every skill where you can edit different values for abilities and you can add new ability tiers. 
- There is also a config file with a ore blacklist for the geologist skill as wished.
- Improved the requirement system and added new abilitiy tiers that uses the this new capabilities.

[Dampiir]

Thank you for the update, seems the issue we had has been fixed!
Time to grind some levels
Do you have an info page on how to create new skills?

[Kuddel]

xandu where is the config file located to chance the geologist data?
