    1.) I have no intention to do this. I will consider it, but it is unlikely that I will do this soon.
    2.) The terms should be respected. I suggest that you write another plugin file and just overload the functions. Also, are you on Linux or MAC? Kinda weird that the "/" is not working.
    3.) Same as 2.

    @Felski Why the game suddenly lags a bit when viewing a skilltree?

    @Felski thanks for the reply. I am on Windows. I'm unsure why the issue exists regarding the forward slash..

    Can you explain what you mean by this? I would happily write another plugin file, but I don't want to rip off your hard work by copying the bulk of your coding.

    There are some calculations done when you open the tree menu. That might lead to lags. Kinda depends on how many nodes are in the tree.

    I think overloading is the wrong word here. I meant overwriting. Basicly copy the function you need to change to an extra plugin file. Don't alias it and just change it to your needs. That way you dont change the original plugin file and still change the way the plugin works.

    Just 3 goes to the left and 1 bottom node.

    That's weird. Does the same error happen when you replicate it in a fresh project?

    It's not a bug, I have a tree that points to the right and 1 below the first section.

    I understand that, but does it also lag in a fresh project? You can also send me the project folder, then I can check it out.

    Just pushed a major update for the plugin. You can now bind skilltrees to classes. Also Yanfly's Class Change Core is compatible.
    You can check out the full changelog here.

    @boikish This update should fix the loading issue you had.

    @Jrrkein This update should fix your performance problems.

    Great job Felski. The plugin works well in-game so far, and the tree builder makes it very easy to construct a tree without having to use a lot of notetags.

    Some suggestions for a future version:
    - Play SE upon learning node;
    - Show a database animation on the node upon learning node.

    Keep up the good work :thumbsup-left:.

    Hey Felski. One thing I don't quite understand with your plugin is how to move between skill trees.

    For instance, in your demo, one of the characters has more than 1 Tech Tree. They have HEALER and HOLY. However, when I open up their skill tree, all I can see is the HEALER tree. I cannot figure out a way to move to their HOLY tree.

    EDIT: Oops, looks like I just had an old version. I updated it and it looks fantastic. Thanks.

    Hi Crysillion,

    I recently changed the way that works. In the older version you could only change to another tree by clicking on it with the mouse. The new version is more in line with how MV handles menus normally.
    Glad you enjoy the plugin. Have fun!

    Cheers,

    I was poking through your code trying to figure out a way to disable the automatic displaying of skill ability text. Here's an example:

    https://i.imgur.com/DZhD6wu.png

    The top text of "ATK Aura" is something I defined and it's great that it's there, but what I'm seeing is that within the window itself lay the skill name and its skill description. As you can see - in my example - listing the skill name is redundant because it's already in the name of the node itself.

    The real issue for me is the forced inclusion of the skill description. If I'm trying to use text scaling or color codes or what-have-you within the skill description itself, it does not translate well into your plugin.

    If at all possible, would there be a way to exclusively use the tech_description node? I can definitely put all of the necessary info there, but not if I don't have a way to opt out of how it forces the skill acquired to be displayed in fullness the way it is now.

    Apologies in advance if it's something I overlooked somewhere.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad people use the plugin.
    Currently the description of the skill is always included. I'm gonna make this optional in future updates.
    For now, if you want to change it, just create a new plugin file add copy the function Window_Techtree_Confirm.prototype.drawNodeInfo into it.
    Then change comment out this line "this.drawTextAutoWrap(skill.description, x, y+ih*i+lh*2, (w-ip));" (line 2729 in the original file).
    Load the new plugin after my plugin and the description should be gone.

    Cheers,

    Honestly, this is one of those hidden gem plugins. I'm surprised I don't see people talking about it more often. People have asked about skill tree plugins like this for ages and have always been met with how it's such a huge task that nobody wants to do it, so it's great that you're willing to do it in a publicly available fashion.

    That said, your suggested fix works and I'm thankful for that, however I'm running into a new issue where the tech_description doesn't wordwrap. No big deal, I can just break lines manually, except I'm not sure if I actually can. I've tried /n and that didn't quite work. What would I type to start a new line in the tech_description?

    Hi Crysillion,

    thanks for your kind words. You could use the drawTextAutoWrap function, but I think the plugin still uses the bugged one. Here is the updated version:
    Code:
    Window_Base.prototype.drawTextAutoWrap = function (text, x, y, maxWidth) {
    if (!text) {
        return 0;
    }
    const words = text.split(' ');
    let lines = 1;
    let x2 = x;
    let y2 = y;
    words.forEach((word) => {
        word = this.convertEscapeCharacters(word);
        const width = this.textWidth(word + ' ');
        // Check for linebreak symbol '/n'
        if (word === `\x1bn`) {
            lines++;
            y2 += this.lineHeight();
            x2 = 0;
        }
        if (x2 + width >= maxWidth) {
            lines++;
            y2 += this.lineHeight();
            x2 = 0;
        }
        this.drawText(word + ' ', x+x2, y2);
        x2 += width;
    });
    return lines;
};

    Hi @Felski

    I echo the sentiments of Crysillion. Have you considered my suggestion of having a plugin parameter to set a custom SE on activating a node? As I was testing my trees, I found it was very underwhelming to learn a final skill e.g. "Ultimate Omni-Slash Lv.99" and only get the cursor sound.

    Hi @falken14 ,

    thanks for your kind words. I've read your suggestions and I think they are really good and I want to implement them. Recently I sadly didn't had time to work on the plugin, but I'm collecting and considering every suggestion made so far. I just need to find time :).
    The animation you mentioned, do you want to see it in the skilltree scene or back on the map?

    Best regards,
    Felski

    I understand, no rush. I thought it would look good to play an animation in the skilltree scene appearing to show the node glowing or sparkling, similar to that shown in FFX when activating a sphere grid node:

    freegifmaker.me_2dx5s.gif

    The player might have to make a custom animation to fit their node dimensions, but I think that would be fairly straightforward.
