GlassDeviant Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Anyone know of a way that I can make the skill points per level start at one value, say 6, and decrease either on a grade or by specific level? Like say I want it to give 6 points per level from 1-5, 5 points per level from 6-10, and decreasing by 1 every 5 levels until it's only 1 per level or, optionally, 1 per 2 levels, 1 per 3 levels and so on. I know how to do it using the "skill points per level" mod, but with that one I have to exit the game and manually edit the config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberz Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You can use the skill_point_multiplier="x.xxx" on the top line of the progression file to vary the skill points per level. The variable is not documented but does work. The formula is something like INT(skill_points_per_level * skill_point_multiplier ^ level). The formula is exponential. You will need to do you own math but I would suggest a multiplier along the lines of 0.99 to 0.98 to achieve what you want. As an example, I use skill_points_per_level="1" and skill_point_multiplier="1.018" to achieve 230+ points by level 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassDeviant Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Ah, took a couple minutes but I see what you're saying. It will take some fiddling but I should be able to get what I'm trying for with that. Thanks P.S.: Any way I can put that into a mod (or I guess people call it a modlet in this game) rather than editing the game file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassDeviant Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 So...I built a spreadsheet and determined that I should be able to get it to work with these values: skill_points_per_level = 7 skill_point_multiplier = 0.9875 This would yield 6 ppl from level 1-12 (not precisely what I was looking for, but close enough) and decreasing by one ppl with gradually broader level spans (a natural feature of the exponential formula, no way to get around it unless I can rewrite it) without going below 1 ppl until level 155 (not that I've ever gotten that high). I'd still rather a level table, but this should do. (contrarily avoiding the obligatory "Babe" quote). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
