Possible to increase the number of perk levels?

[Kubikus]

I tried this:

 

	<perk name="perkShotgunMessiah" parent="skillMarksmanship" name_key="perkShotgunMessiahName" desc_key="perkShotgunMessiahDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_shotgun" base_skill_point_cost="2" max_level="10" >
	<level_requirements level="1"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="1" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel1"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="2"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="3" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel3"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="3"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="5" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel5"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="4"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="7" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel7"/></level_requirements>
	<level_requirements level="5"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="10" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel10"/></level_requirements>

	<level_requirements level="6"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="10" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel10"/></level_requirements>

</perk>

max_level increased, some stuff for the higher levels. But ingame I get this:

 

The perk is locked, I can't buy more levels. I guess to make further levels visible, you'd have to fiddle with XUi-xmls, but I doubt stuff only becomes buyable after doing that.

 

Did anybody have any luck changing the number of perks? Or - haven't even started trying that - to add new attribute pages? If it's impossible - quite the harsh restriction on modding, eh.

[Dracos99]

at the beginning of the perk portion of the progression.xml file, there is a <perks> row that has the max level displayed for all perks as a default (same for attributes)

<perks min_level="0" max_level="5" base_skill_point_cost="1" cost_multiplier_per_level="1" max_level_ratio_to_parent="5">

 

when i changed the max_level to 10, it changed the right windows to a paged view with 3 pages showing 10 choices for all perks.

 

Additionally, you can add the max_level to each perk tag to change just the one perks values as you can see in Charismatic Nature

<perk name="perkCharismaticNature" max_level="4" parent="skillInfluence" name_key="perkCharismaticNatureName" desc_key="perkCharismaticNatureDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_talk">

 

 

Here is a test i did for Gunslinger to add a level 6 perk and it works

<perk name="perkGunslinger" parent="skillMarksmanship" name_key="perkGunslingerName" desc_key="perkGunslingerDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_gunslinger" max_level="6">
	<level_requirements level="1"><requirement name="ProgressionLevel" progression_name="attPerception" operation="GTE" value="1" desc_key="reqPerceptionLevel1"/></level_requirements>

It did. Cuz it's the same thing I did. Just that I was brilliant enough to have a 2nd mod overwriting the changes. Good bye, I guess, to an hour of my life. -.-

 

Thanks a ton, though.
