[REL] No magic skills

[wetgoat]

This sounds like the finished product would be a mod that many of us would very happy to install. I believe the way this game started out, it was only a degree or two away from having floating power up bubbles!

Update here.
Changes:

Skillls enabled:
- Passive:
- Reduce engine noise: 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%
- Faster torpedo reload: 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, 20%
- Reduce morale decay: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%
- MaxMorale: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Sonar range: 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%
- Boost Guns - only affects accuracy and damage: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%
- Faster gun reload: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%
- Active:
- Special Meal: cooldown 12, 8, 4 hours
Added "- DISABLED" comment to disabled skills localization
Skills costs are now gradual: lvl1 costs 1 point, lvl2 - 2 points ets.

BTW. Does anyone know how to edit skill selection menu?

Well done m8, that's a great start!

No I don't know how the skill selection menu is modded, but it's probably in the same areas as the other popup menus and windows like the torpedo and subsystem management screens.

So if you can locate them, I bet you're in the ballpark! Might try messaging Conus00, he made a SH3 style graphics for all of those screens.

How would you boost a gun's damage IRL?

Excellent, I had manualy edited the attributes file to get rid of the Torp speed increases, as they were one of the things messing up my solutions.
Still I never use the abilites (never remember to go to each station and select them).
But this Mod is a great addition and I will be installing it right away.
Thank you.

You would aim better and hit weak spots of the ships, i guess... It will be tweaked a bit in new update.

This is how I propose changing the pre-heat skill for the torpedoman:

[SpecialAbility 18]
ID=Ability-Active-Preheat-Torpedo
NameDisplayable=Ability-Active-Preheat-Torpedo-Name
Description=Ability-Active-Preheat-Torpedo-Description
Levels= 1
AbilityType=TorpedoRange, TorpedoSpeed
AbilityValue= 67, 7

PointsRequirement= 0
AbilityRequirements= 0
LevelUpTree= 0
MoraleCost= 0
PointsCost= 0

AbylityActsIn= ALL

Activation=OnDemand
Duration=1800
Cooldown=0

The increase in range and speed is based on the preheated vs. non-preheated states for the T2 and T3. In addition, it's no longer a skill one has to spend experience points on in order to gain access to it.

I think about it. But the problem is that this ability also affects T1 torpedoes and leads to unrealistic results.

using 1.2 i didnt know the skills in the game was so uber, yet i feel that a full trained sonar man should have his skill increased by easily 100%, its 10% now, but maybe this is self editable?

Perhaps a casual version of this mod is doable? With skills very good still not superhuman?
