Skill Tree DB Redesign

Skill Tree DB Redesign
Hello~! - What?!

• The file has been completely overwritten, the redesign achieves 2 goals: make it easier for us to update the file and for our users to customise it.

skill_db.conf format : sample

Swordsman: {
	inherit: ( "Novice" );
	skills: { 
		SM_SWORD: 10
		SM_TWOHAND: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			SM_SWORD: 1
		}
		SM_RECOVERY: 10
		SM_BASH: 10
		SM_PROVOKE: 10
		SM_MAGNUM: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			SM_BASH: 5
		}
		SM_ENDURE: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			SM_PROVOKE: 5
		}
		SM_MOVINGRECOVERY: 1
		SM_FATALBLOW: 1
		SM_AUTOBERSERK: 1
	}
}
Knight: {
	inherit: ( "Swordsman" );
	skills: { 
		KN_SPEARMASTERY: 10
		KN_PIERCE: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			KN_SPEARMASTERY: 1
		}
		KN_BRANDISHSPEAR: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			KN_RIDING: 1
			KN_SPEARSTAB: 3
		}
		KN_SPEARSTAB: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			KN_PIERCE: 5
		}
		KN_SPEARBOOMERANG: {
			MaxLevel: 5
			KN_PIERCE: 3
		}
		KN_TWOHANDQUICKEN: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			SM_TWOHAND: 1
		}
		KN_AUTOCOUNTER: {
			MaxLevel: 5
			SM_TWOHAND: 1
		}
		KN_BOWLINGBASH: {
			MaxLevel: 10
			SM_BASH: 10
			SM_MAGNUM: 3
			SM_TWOHAND: 5
			KN_TWOHANDQUICKEN: 10
			KN_AUTOCOUNTER: 5
		}
		KN_RIDING: {
			MaxLevel: 1
			SM_ENDURE: 1
		}
		KN_CAVALIERMASTERY: {
			MaxLevel: 5
			KN_RIDING: 1
		}
		KN_CHARGEATK: 1
		KN_ONEHAND: {
			MaxLevel: 1
			KN_TWOHANDQUICKEN: 10
		}
	}
}

Main Design Benefit

• Skills and its requirements are now per job instead of per class id, so there are no duplicates -- for example in the previous format if wanted to modify, say, the max level of SM_MAGNUM you'd need to edit its 31 entries, in the new format there are only 2 entries (one in swordsman, other in super novice)

Sorry, but I don't understand the benefit behind this modification..

[malufett 247]

Sorry, but I don't understand the benefit behind this modification..

for me this can make me productive specially making new skills...

 

[nanakiwurtz 11]

Hmm okay, I can see that the skill tree could be modified faster thanks to the 'inheritance' feature.

It's like the skilltreeview.lua on kRO client.

[evilpuncker 504]

Someone please add some documentation to this file format. I know it's pretty straightforward, but at the moment it has no documentation whatsoever.

[jaBote 438]

I've added that documentation myself. Thanks!

 

Sorry for having to split that into 2 commits, but I haven't git tools atm.

 

P.S.: Ind, if you see anything wrong, please edit me!

[jTynne 101]

Having problems putting skill points into -anything- after this commit. 

[jaBote 438]

Whops, my bad. I tried to nest some block comments and the first /* was gone with the very first */, so there was a lot of place for syntax errors on those lines.

 

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you spend some years without using pure C and you haven't available any validating tool on reach.

 

I'm so sorry about this.

 

Edit: This has recently been fixed by a dev, so sorry again.
