[quote=Acromatic Aria";p="119544"] EDIT: Actually it DOESN'T work It worked before because I was testing it by specifically summoning the rogue in the rogue hireling column. [/quote]
so does this means we can make summonable hirelings? any idea if you can still equip them, etc and if it summons the same one with the same equip every time? that's some interesting possibilities there.

Bow and Xbow Mastery
I had seen some discussion on bow mastery here and there and this is what i did: looking at sword mastery and claw mastery I decided to use claw mastery.
Skills.txt
cloned Claw Mastery and changed:
skill = Missile Mastery
ID = 357 or next in line
class = ama
skilldesc = missile mastery
passiveitype = miss (claw mastery had h2h)
itypea1 = miss (claw mastery had h2h)
States.txt
cloned clawmastery and changed:
state = missilemastery
Id = 181 or next inline
Skilldesc.txt
cloned claw mastery and changed:
skillpage to icon cell to 1 1 1 1 06
which puts the critical strike icon to the left of magic arrow on bowskill page
This seems to work fine when i use it and is limited to bows and xbows for bonuses.

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
After I've read all the posts about the problems with ranged summons I decided to give it a try. So after a few hours of experimenting I managed to give my necro summonable Oblivion Knights who use the DoomKnightMissile.
The only way I was able to get this done was by editing the "necromage" in monstats.txt as mentioned. So here's what I changed:
BaseId = doomknight3
MonStatsEx = necrodeadmage (for the new entry in MonStats2.txt
MonType = doomknight
Code = UM (the doomknights' code)
MonSound & UMonSound = doomknight
Skill1 = DoomKnightMissile
Sk1mode = S1
Then in MonStats2.txt I copied the "doomknight3" line to the bottom, changed the "Id" to necrodeadmage and emptied the "corpseSel" and "revive" fields.
Voila! My necro now has his own army of Oblivion Knights casting their elemental bolts. See them in action here
Note: I was unable to get them to use their other "sumskill#". Maybe the NecroPet doesn't support these?

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
[quote=Char";p="119716"]okay, i will talk a bit, mostly about passive skills, since thats the field i made most things in .
2. as we can see from this, passive skills are not very good to make dynamic things. for that, we can use auras. the negative aspect is that we have to give each character an item with "aura when equipped", which doesnt look all that good. but it works. the aura refreshes its stats every [perdelay] frames. it should also be possible to add passive stats that dont refresh in addition to the aurastats. for some reason, the auras dont seem to refresh if the stat drops to zero, no idea why, but i think that can be solved somehow (be creative ). of course, set the aura range to zero.
[/quote]
Would putting auras on charms work ?? these charms could easily be given as a reward for quests after that !!
Hope it doesnt sound too stupid...i'm really a newb at this !!

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
According to Aello (link) the lnAB function resolves to..
A+(lvl-1)*B
and not A+lvl*B as previously thought, and stated in skilldesc.txt.

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
a concept came to mind while reading this thread. I will use a sorceress as the prime concept character. Say recieve a skill point once every 5 levels or so (this part isn't important possible or not). make it so that skills can max level at 3 or something small (again this part isn't important doable or not). now insert synergies to skills *and* stats so that statpoints become important. Most sorcie skills would probobly be tied to energy and the spells damage would increase per level. Then you get neat stuff like for the charged bolt skill, each point gives x more bolts (more than vanila) but you don't gain more bolts per stat point (or could you?)
For a barbarian example have his warcries based on vitality, have his passives (turned to auras with radius 0 or 1, see I did read ) based on mana or some other stat, and his combat skills based on strenth. mix it up of course to make sense, this is a concept thought.
the key thing out of this post is: besides the x stats per y level and besides a limiting of max skill levels (this I know how to do) is what I described possible.
Basicaly this is a personal check for myself to see if I did absorb whats been said. (and a concept to boot)

Yes, aura modifier on charm works. the term 'when equipped' is misleading.

Charms is special, they are in game term's counted as "equipped"Yes, aura modifier on charm works. the term 'when equipped' is misleading.
Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
So, your monster could dodge your attack?the oskill parameter works with skills like dodge on monster equipment. I tried it!!!
In 1.10 final version oskill no longer gives assertion error when using it on a monster. But, so far I have never seen any effect by adding a skill to a monster. But, if you have got dodge working on the monster it's interesting.

Dodge, Avoid, and Evade all work.
I missed a fallen 20 times in a row (dodge) and never got to hit a moving Quill rat (evade).
Maybe it works with some passive skills.
And maybe the reason oskill doesn't ususly work on monsters is that they don't have the AI to support extra skills (dumb dumb dumb )
So, unless somebody dives a little bit in the code to fix that, oskill it's impossible to work with active skills.

Yes, this is the reason why the most oskill doesn't work on monsters.And maybe the reason oskill doesn't ususly work on monsters is that they don't have the AI to support extra skills (dumb dumb dumb )
That's good to hear, so any skill that doesn't require a skill use should work thenDodge, Avoid, and Evade all work.

Passives already worked by inserting them directly into monskill column.
The passive just triggers a set of test at every frame, so basically, they will work. Active skill is trippier.
I bet my pants that oskill of aura will work too.

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
Parhaps, but isn't it the same thing if you use 'aura when equiped'?
I tried Holy Freeze on Frozen Horrors and it works perfectly...
Hmmmm..
If I put this into an armor to be equiped on a Fallen Shaman :
oskill / Shaman Fire / 10 /15
will it work???
or it will ad just 3?
can I use skill mod with that?

I made a huge accomplishment a few months ago: I had transformed most (if not all) of the barbarian's combat skills to jumping skills (Jump attack) to make him play like a Dragoon!
The process was rather difficult though as i had to keep copy/pasting from various other skills in skills.txt, and in the end the effect i wanted wasn't totally what I got, some stats were displaying awkwardly and elemental damage wasn't showing up at all on the skill.
But for me it was a great accomplisment, changing a class to be something completely different
EDIT: whoops, didn't see the date...

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
but is it possible to give synergy to a passive skill that is not listed on the skill tree for the character? ie, as the character gives points to fire mastery her passive skill of holy fire/res fire are improved, making her a generally better character inherently.

yes it is possible. if you look at the files, the method they use for doing synergies is quite simple.
skill('whateverskill'.lvl)*parX
any calc column in the file can take these kind of calcs, so you could check the level (and other stuff) of any other skill, including skills that the class does not own.
basically when it comes down to the calcs, they don't care who owns the skill, they just check the values.

Re: [1.10] Collective Skills thread
Ok, it was important for me to read this thread as I try to get up to speed again on skill editing, post-patch 1.09
But it has left me wondering a couple things that I don't seem to find answers to by doing a search:
1. Are there any player skills that still won't work as oskills and/or that cannot be moved to other characters? If so, what are they?
2. What's the current status of giving monster skills to players and/or cloning them for use as player skills? Is it really just a hit-or-miss, try them and find out what works situation? Or is there a general "most work/most don't work" theory at this time?

1. Just about every player skill will work as an oskill.
Leap and leap attack are buggy on most classes (the Assassin has a really cool leap animation!)
2. Giving monster skills to players is possible, but is a little more complicated. You have to basically make a clone of the skills missiles/effects by using an existing skill as your base. For example, you can make Diablo's red lightning by cloning Inferno and changing the missiles.

Every skill that doesn't use a sequence, anything with SQ listed will often only work for one class. To solve this change the mode from SQ to SC, and everything can be used everywhere.Just about every player skill will work as an oskill.

Just a note: As PlayerSequence is hardcoded this is the best solution in most cases for players.
