I would have to see if ModTek's newer versions support load order and what BTAU is doing with its skill implementation.
It MIGHT be possible to just replace any files they have in an Abilfier folder, but if you're looking for a combined skill tree, that'll require some work.
I tried just removing Abilifier and addijg this mkd like I did with BEX but it threw up an error. You think replacing everything in Abilifier folder with things from this mod might work?
Stupidly OP mod, once you level up Gunnery tree and get to shoot through armor - you just pick UAC5 guns (or at very least UAC2/PPC) and just shred everything. LRM15/20 Also become very OP with both missilier and through-armor, just one-shotting everything below 40T weight, and 2-3 shotting mediums/heavies.
Some balancing is definitely has to be done: either same perks on enemies (but then everything is broken); or tune done perk to not make it OP, but just decent.
But nowhere in description is it said that this mod is balanced for other mods. And i will try extended-whatever later to see how broken shooting through armor is there.
I get an Abilifier error when trying to get this to work. I am playing BEX and a few mods require Abilifier to run. What should I do to resolve this because I'd really like to use your mod.
I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had some mods not updated while others were updated. So I can remove Abilifier, Ability Realizer, and that Custom Pilot Decorator mod and your mod replaces all 3?
It'll replace Abilifier, Ability Realizer, and Retrainer, since they are all incorporated. (Skill Tree Rebuild is basically a fork of Abilifier, and the latest version of Abilifier has Ability Realizer and Retrainer integrated into them).
I love the idea of this mod and at first I was really enjoying it, but as I nearly completed a career run using it I was getting bored. I was absolutely wrecking assault lances with my meager three heavies and medium with the difficulty set to hard. I'm trying to make sure it's your mod that turned my team into metal-crushing monsters.
1. Is there anything that passively increases evasion? My mechs almost never get hit, even when they have no evasion pips. 2. Are there settings you've exposed in the json that can minimize the number of passive skills gained? For example, I love the choices my pilots get but some of the abilities that were previously choices now are passively given (like breaching shot). To me, that definitely feels OP and I'd like to turn it off.
Which version of the mod are you using? Could be the Morale changes.
The latest, v0.6.0
Can't really control whether traits are applied (except via tags), but I can retune the Evasion Boost trait. That might be making it too easy.
Could you elaborate on the tagging or is that too complex to go into? I'm guessing you're referring to something available to you via the API to do what you're doing?
That said, if you're sticking with vanilla mechs, that might be the problem.
Yeah, just vanilla. How is that a problem? I recently started a Hyades Rim playthrough with the Community Asset Bundle but I haven't installed your mod (yet) because of the issues I was having with my mostly vanilla playthrough.

If you go to the EffectDataExtensions.JSON file, you'll see a lot of status effect entries with sections like this: "Pilot": { "MustMatchAll": false, "TargetCollectionTagMatch": [], "TargetCollectionNotMatch": [ "pilot_turret_d3", "pilot_turret_d5", "pilot_turret_d7", "base_skills_only" ] }
These effects will apply to all pilots except the ones with these tags, with "base_skills_only" being a tag I apply to a lot of procedural pilots in order to keep them from spawning with them.
I'll get to the reason why I do that later.

So I do my testing with Better Combat, and did most of the development with just a vanilla + Better Combat install. It's designed to counter the game's tendency to make a single mission a 45+ minute affair, which I personally find to be a draining experience outside of a Flashpoint finale or something.
Since installing the Expanded Arsenal mod, I've discovered that any mod pack that adds units and pilots may become unbeatably difficult due if NPC pilots spawn with the full set of passives and Better Combat's Better OPFOR integration pushing the enemy spawns towards higher difficulties. So if you're having an easy time, that's because the limited roster of vanilla mechs doesn't allow Better OPFOR to make the game insanely difficult.
That helps, thank you for explaining. I was using Better OpFor with your mod, but I didn't have any new mechs or equipment from mods so that could explain it.
Ironically, I enjoy the 45 minute games because they always get my brain going and my blood pumping. But I like the idea of being able to better customize my pilots to make the level of strategy even deeper. Sounds like fundamentally you and I have different ideas of fun, but that's to be expected, we're not clones. :)
Any chance you could expose some variables in mod.json to allow some tweaking? Or is there anything already in there I could fiddle with that could just use a little documentation?

Honestly, what you'll want to do is go the Abilities folder, then Traits, and find TraitDefEvasionBoost.JSON. Open it in Notepad++/Visual Studio Code/some other software that can edit JSONs, and replace the EffectData array with this: "EffectData" : [ { "durationData": { "duration": -1, "stackLimit": 1 }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "Passive", "effectTargetType": "Creator", "showInTargetPreview": false, "showInStatusPanel": true }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-HitDefense-Light", "Name": "Light Mech Defense Bonus", "Details": "This pilot has a +4 defense against being hit by any attack.", "Icon": "uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost" }, "nature": "Buff", "statisticData": { "statName": "ToHitThisActor", "operation": "Float_Add", "modValue": "4.0", "modType": "System.Single", "targetCollection": "Weapon" } }, { "durationData": { "duration": -1, "stackLimit": 1 }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "Passive", "effectTargetType": "Creator", "showInTargetPreview": false, "showInStatusPanel": true }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-HitDefense-Medium", "Name": "Medium Mech Defense Bonus", "Details": "This pilot has a +3 defense against being hit by any attack.", "Icon": "uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost" }, "nature": "Buff", "statisticData": { "statName": "ToHitThisActor", "operation": "Float_Add", "modValue": "3.0", "modType": "System.Single", "targetCollection": "Weapon" } }, { "durationData": { "duration": -1, "stackLimit": 1 }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "Passive", "effectTargetType": "Creator", "showInTargetPreview": false, "showInStatusPanel": true }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-HitDefense-Heavy", "Name": "Heavy Mech Defense Bonus", "Details": "This pilot has a +2 defense against being hit by any attack.", "Icon": "uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost" }, "nature": "Buff", "statisticData": { "statName": "ToHitThisActor", "operation": "Float_Add", "modValue": "2.0", "modType": "System.Single", "targetCollection": "Weapon" } }, { "durationData": { "duration": -1, "stackLimit": 1 }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "Passive", "effectTargetType": "Creator", "showInTargetPreview": false, "showInStatusPanel": true }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-HitDefense-Assault", "Name": "Assault Mech Defense Bonus", "Details": "This pilot has a +1 defense against being hit by any attack.", "Icon": "uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost" }, "nature": "Buff", "statisticData": { "statName": "ToHitThisActor", "operation": "Float_Add", "modValue": "1.0", "modType": "System.Single", "targetCollection": "Weapon" } }, { "durationData": { "duration": 2, "ticksOnActivations": true, "useActivationsOfTarget": true, "ticksOnEndOfRound": false, "ticksOnMovements": false, "stackLimit": 1, "clearedWhenAttacked": false }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "OnActivation", "effectTargetType": "Creator" }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-EvasionBoost", "Name": "EVASIVE CAP INCREASE", "Details": "This unit can have up to 2 extra evasive charges from movement.", "Icon": "uixSvgIcon_ability_phantom" }, "statisticData": { "statName": "MaxEvasivePips", "operation": "Int_Add", "modValue": "2", "modType": "System.Int32" }, "nature": "Buff" }, { "durationData": { "duration": 2, "ticksOnActivations": true, "useActivationsOfTarget": true, "ticksOnEndOfRound": false, "ticksOnMovements": false, "stackLimit": 1, "clearedWhenAttacked": false }, "targetingData": { "effectTriggerType": "OnActivation", "effectTargetType": "Creator", "showInStatusPanel": true }, "effectType": "StatisticEffect", "Description": { "Id": "StatusEffect-EvasionBoostTick", "Name": "EVASIVE MOVE EXTRA", "Details": "This unit generates 2 extra EVASIVE charges from movement actions." }, "statisticData": { "statName": "EvasivePipsGainedAdditional", "operation": "Int_Add", "modValue": "2", "modType": "System.Int32" }, "nature": "Buff" } ] If the toned down version is too strong for you, you can set them all the hit defense effects to 0, or just delete them from the JSON.
I get this too with 5.0. Went with version 4.5 and it works, but it means I've got the white portrait bug. Anyone know how to fix just the white portrait bug on its own? Like what can I copy out of the 5.0 to fix just that without breaking anything else?
EDIT: ~later~ Hey I did it! With some good ol unga bunga cave man Trial And Error. at least I think so. for now. For anyone else who can't use 5 and wants to use 4.5 but not get the broken portrait bug,
Things I copied over from the 5.0 zip into my SkillTreeRebuild folder that is otherwise straight from 4.5: BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\Traits\TraitDefEvasionBoost.json BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\Traits\TraitDefSpotterExpert.json BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Icons\uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost.svg BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\AbilityDef_NetAttack.json
I think that's all of them. Not sure if any other icon paths are busted. I'll update here if I encounter any more.
Hey great mod for BEX, but I have a question about JackAll and Longshot?
Where is it specified to which weapons these bonuses are applied? Both their AbilityDef_.json files are almost identical.
I was wondering since I was trying to figure out whether Longshop also applies to Very Long(AC5) and Extreme(AC2) range weapons as well? And if it's based on their category in the mechbay tooltip or if it's simply their optimal range or something?
Edit, ow and is there a way to lock the abilities of the remaining skill trees after you've selected two, like it's in vanilla?
If you're having issues with the mod on a fresh install of it, check the ModTek/Injector folder to see if the AbilifierEffectDataInjector.dll file is there.
If not, DL the ZIP with the injector in it and unzip it in your BattleTech/Mods folder.
Great mod but, like the person below, I am getting a white portrait pilot after having too many skills (6+). I would post my log but the page crashes every time I try (21k lines). No worries if you'd rather not deal with it but either way wanted to thank you for your work, well done.

It MIGHT be possible to just replace any files they have in an Abilfier folder, but if you're looking for a combined skill tree, that'll require some work.
I would also have a backup of the BTAU Abilifier on hand, in case there's some settings that need to get swapped.
Some balancing is definitely has to be done: either same perks on enemies (but then everything is broken); or tune done perk to not make it OP, but just decent.
And i will try extended-whatever later to see how broken shooting through armor is there.
What should I do to resolve this?
Without further details, it sounds like it might be the campaign crashing issue that's solved by downloading the optional ModTek injector file.
As far as I know, BEX doesn't have any Abilifier implementations. Do you mean BTA?
1. Is there anything that passively increases evasion? My mechs almost never get hit, even when they have no evasion pips.
2. Are there settings you've exposed in the json that can minimize the number of passive skills gained? For example, I love the choices my pilots get but some of the abilities that were previously choices now are passively given (like breaching shot).

I use the "Better" line of mods, plus yours.

EDIT:
~later~
Hey I did it! With some good ol unga bunga cave man Trial And Error.
at least I think so. for now. For anyone else who can't use 5 and wants to use 4.5 but not get the broken portrait bug,
Things I copied over from the 5.0 zip into my SkillTreeRebuild folder that is otherwise straight from 4.5:
BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\Traits\TraitDefEvasionBoost.json
BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\Traits\TraitDefSpotterExpert.json
BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Icons\uixSvgIcon_ability_EvasionBoost.svg
BATTLETECH\Mods\SkillTreeRebuild\Abilities\AbilityDef_NetAttack.json
I think that's all of them. Not sure if any other icon paths are busted. I'll update here if I encounter any more.
Where is it specified to which weapons these bonuses are applied? Both their AbilityDef_.json files are almost identical.
I was wondering since I was trying to figure out whether Longshop also applies to Very Long(AC5) and Extreme(AC2) range weapons as well? And if it's based on their category in the mechbay tooltip or if it's simply their optimal range or something?
Edit, ow and is there a way to lock the abilities of the remaining skill trees after you've selected two, like it's in vanilla?
Thanks :)
If not, DL the ZIP with the injector in it and unzip it in your BattleTech/Mods folder.
Modtek 4.1
Game version 1.9 all 3 DLCs
Mod version 0.4.5
If not, let me know where (Gunnery, Piloting, Guts, Tactics) and what level you start seeing problems.
