Felskis Skilltree Plugin

Could anyone confirm

That plugins is really good. Here's an advice that could be added to improve it's use

• Improve the UI of the Tree Builder App (kinda of heavy to use. Better than .json on notepad)
  • The "+row" button actually add node to the tree. Either change the text of that button, or add a "+node" button inside a row to make it easier to use.
  • Uuid should be auto-generated (Never mind, Using the Skill's name work perfectly well)
  • Allow use of other image format (.png is always appended to the file name). You could check if the file has an extension (.png, .jpeg, etc) if not, use .png by default. This allow novice user to omit the filetype and advance user to choose other file format.
  • Allow user to specify the destination folder when saving. This prevent the situation where a user get Techtrees (100) in their Download folder, and they have to rename it each time.
  • (That one might sound weird) specify that the indexes start at 1 rather than 0. I know, only programmers may fall into that trap.
• ... (I will write them here should I stumble upon other possible improvements)

EDIT: I just read the whole Thread. Sorry about that. I think I'll try to implement it myself (at least the Skill Level part). I am a programmer with 7 years of experience, but I am new to RPG maker plugins. If it works, it would be nice for this plugin to support Skill Levels. A bit like Yanfly's job points, you offer compatibility without it being mandatory.

And here's is a new feature that could be added: Skill Level. Here what the feature should allow

• Say instead of having 5 single-target Fire skills, you use only 1, but the player can assign multiple skill points to the skill to improve it, up to a certan max.
• To unlock, some skill require not only parent skills, but those parent could also require a minimum skill level. Ex: Flame require Fire(5) to be unlockable.
• In the SkillTree window, the required skill level of the parent skill should be written on the connection between the child and the parent.

For a complete exemple of what I am talking about, here an image of Etrain Odyssey Untold skill tree (look at Bloodlust requirements):

Yanfly's Skill Mastery plugin seems somewhat close to that behavior (though I haven't try to play with it yet). I don't know if that plugin only use a math formula to define the power of the skill at each level, or if the user can specified each level manually. Actually, the Skill Level could be a seperated plugin, while your SkillTree plugin offer the option to support it.

Hey! I really like your plugin and would like to use it in my game! However, I am using SumRndmDdes Icon Menu and for some reason the menu option doesnt appear. I know its probably not the Icon Menu because Ive tried other menu addons and they show up, but not yours. Any way to fix this? Or should I use one of the common event commands for the menu and use a plugin call common event?

@Felski
For some reason, the background images do not load when first opening the skill tree. But subsequent times it is there. Wondering if it is a game resolution issue with yanfly core engine?

Hey @Lunam,

are you using this plugin? I just tested it and for me it works. You could use the common event as an alternative. Maybe add yanflys Main Menu Manager to add the command by yourself.
Also check in my plugin if you have the setting Menu Visible set to active. That might hide it.
Best regards,
Felski



Hey @J0M0,

it appears that you use a custom menu which might cause this issue. Normally the images are preloaded when you enter the main menu and not the skilltree menu. I think I need to move the preloading to the skilltree menu. It will be fixed in the next update.
Best regards,
Felski

Can this be used for only a single character while still having the rest of the party not able to access it?

Maybe I'm missing something in the demo but... is there a way to unlock skilltrees for a subclass only when it's equipped and only retain those skills if the same subclass remains equipped?

Can the nodes be leveled up?

This plugin is fascinating, and I'm seeing endless creative possibilities here!

1.) It would be nice if it was possible to do custom cost evaluations with js, a la the Lunatic Mode notetags of Yanfly's Skill Learn System. (That you can do custom evals for on Activate and Deactivate is great, and super useful!...but it doesn't extend to whether you're allowed to buy the skill in the first place, and adding a function to the Activate/Deactivate evals to automatically undo the purchase if the buyer turns out not to have met the cost requirements could be a bit troublesome.) I imagine adding this functionality is harder than it sounds, though.

2.) Is there a plugin command or line of script one should use to quickly test whether a given actor has a specific tech tree node active? (Checking to see if there's any alternative to adding a lot of passive skills, one for each tech tree node, and testing whether the actor has those skills...)
