Ascend RPG Core - Stat Leveling

Added

Node Locks

• Nodes in mastery and skill trees can now lock other nodes. Choosing one permanently disables the others.
• Locking a node also disables the entire branch below it.
• A single node can lock multiple other nodes, allowing one choice to close several branches.
• Set locks with Shift + Right-Click on another node or through the Locks Out section in the node panel.
• Hovering over a node highlights everything it would disable in red, including boxes, connectors, and linked nodes.
• Nodes that lock others display a red marker.
• Locked nodes are shown with a strikethrough, and tooltips show what choosing a node would lock.
• Works in both tree and web layouts, including the Ascension tree.
• Previously purchased nodes are never removed.

Per-Track Damage Exclusions

• Added a Not This Kind of Damage section to the mastery editor.
• Exclude ranged, melee, or specific damage types.
• Wildcards are supported.
• Allows custom spell tracks to train normally without also counting as ranged damage.

Trainer Matching Improvements

• Trainer values now support wildcards in NBT data.
• Trainers can read mod data components as well as custom data.

Melee Reach

• Added the combat.meleeReach setting to control how far away a hit can be while still counting as melee.
• Default reach is 4.0.
• Setting it to 0 disables the distance check.

Changed

Damage Tracking

• Masteries now track the type of damage that actually dealt the hit instead of guessing based on what is being held.
• Spells cast from curios, scrolls, or keybinds now train the correct mastery track even when a weapon is held.
• Sword attacks continue to train melee, and bows continue to train ranged.
• Trainer matching can now target damage from specific mods using wildcards.
• Mastery EXP and melee/ranged damage bonuses now consistently use the same damage type for each hit.

Fixed

• Deleting or editing default stat categories now persists correctly instead of restoring the defaults after restarting.
• The same issue was fixed for attribute scaling.
• Category and scaling layouts now properly reset when leaving a world, preventing one world's setup from carrying over into another.
• Not being able to scroll in menus (1.21.1)
