Smart Skills
Today, I got jealous that the Iron Gate devs seem to have the smoothest brains out there. While I obviously envy their smooth brain, when it comes to the skill system in the game, it's okay for the brain to have a few wrinkles. Occasionally.
Features
- Remembers the highest level a skill has ever reached. If you drop below that skill level, the skill will gain bonus experience, until you are back at that level.
- Weapon skills gain bonus experience, if you have any other weapon skill at a higher level. Makes switching weapon types less painful.
- Doubles swimming experience gained and removes the skill loss of the swimming skill.
- Removes the blood magic experience the shielded player gets, if the shield expires.
- The caster of a shield now gains blood magic experience, if the shielded player attacks something.
- Sneak increases backstab damage.
- Sneak gains bonus experience on backstab.
Can be installed on a server, to enforce the configuration.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
