Skills Pro: RPG Progression

Skills 1.5.9 — Major Mod Update

Version 1.5.9 introduces a new skill tree system. Character progression is now much deeper: players can unlock skill tree nodes, earn and spend skill points, purchase additional skill points with XP, and gradually strengthen their character through different development branches.

New types of upgrades have been added to the tree: main skills, combined skills, additional passive upgrades, and stat bonuses. The tree is now connected to the existing progression categories: Combat, Archery, Mining, Woodcutting, Farming, and Defense.

An active skill system has also been added. New keybinds, an active skill selection menu, active skill switching, cooldowns, and separate skill status messages are now available.

The mod interface has been significantly reworked. A new skill tree tab has been added, along with new icons, node frames, a skill tree background, skill point panels, and control buttons. The old levels and experience screen has been preserved, but it is now expanded with the new skill tree progression screen.

New visual effects for skills have been added: particles, sounds, HUD elements, aiming indicators, effect highlights, and timers. Additional visual systems are also supported, including settings for animations and effects.

A new entity has been added to the mod — a player clone, along with separate logic for its rendering, timer, and behavior.

The configuration system has been expanded. It is now possible to configure active skills, their cooldowns, enable or disable specific effects, adjust particles, sounds, visual effect quality, render distance, and other parameters.

Full English localization has been added. Now not only items are translated, but also the interface, skill tree, tooltips, messages, active skills, statuses, requirements, and system notifications. The Russian localization has also been expanded.

In addition, the internal synchronization systems between the server and the client have been improved. Skill points, unlocked skill tree nodes, skill point purchase costs, and active skill states are now synchronized.

Version 1.5.9 is a major update that transforms the Skills mod from a simple leveling system into a full character progression system with a skill tree, active abilities, visual effects, and expanded localization.
