Skill Name - Nachtmusique - 03-05-2015 03:49 AM
After changing the Key and defname of a skill, now neither the original nor the new are recognized by sphere.
I copied the meditation skill script file into my custom folder (which loads last in the spheretables)
I changed the def and key to Channeling rather than Meditation
Now, if I try to set or show Channeling i get the message that it is not a valid command or format. I get the same message if I use meditation. I get the same message if I use the DEFNAMEs or the Keys. ANy ideas?

It's better to not touch the key and the defname of a skill.
Use the name property
Example:
PHP Code:
[SKILL 1]
DEFNAME=SKILL_ANATOMY
KEY=Anatomy
TITLE=Biologist
PROMPT_MSG=Whom shall I examine?
NAME = Medicine
Then create a small a function like this one, for implementing the ".skillname value" behaviour
PHP Code:
//example .medicine 250
[FUNCTION medicine]
<serv.lookupskill medicine> <argn1>
//You can also block the relative skill command for managing the skill
//Example
[FUNCTION anatomy]
return 1
Last step, change the name of the skill in the skill.mul file.

You don't really need to change anything on skills nor even on muls (I really have to modify muls, drk ¬¬), you just have to trick Sphere with a paralel function:
Code:
[function channeling]
if (<argn>)
meditation <argn1> //don't use '=' here so you can still use code like 'channeling +=x' working.
endif
return <meditation>Now you can use the new 'skill' (it's not a skill, just a function) ingame and/or scripts.

It sounds easy but what about the sysmessage a player gets when he gains a skillpoint? (your skill <skill> has been increased...)
RE: Skill Name - darksun84 - 08-21-2015 09:27 PM
I think the sysmessages are handled by clilocs number:
3000260 Your skill in ~1skillname~ has increased by ~2changeamount~. It is now ~3newvalue~.
3000261 Your skill in ~1skillname~ has decreased by ~2changeamount~. It is now ~3newvalue~.
