SkillLimitExtender

Extend skill level caps beyond 100 with full server support!

Features

• Skill Cap Extension: Raise any skill beyond the vanilla 100 limit
• Mod Skill Support: Works with custom skills from other mods
• Easy Configuration: Configuration Manager (F1) + YAML file support
• Server Sync: Admins can lock configurations and sync to all players
• Perfect UI: Level bars scale correctly with custom caps
• Balanced: Vanilla 100 = Custom cap for same effectiveness
• Lightweight: No heavy dependencies, optimized performance

How It Works

The mod maintains the original game balance by scaling effectiveness:

• Vanilla: Level 100 = 100% effectiveness
• Extended: Level 250 = 100% effectiveness (same as vanilla 100)
• Growth: Linear scaling means longer progression, same final power

Configuration

In-Game (F1 Key)

[General]
DefaultCap = 250          # Default cap for all skills
EnableYamlOverride = true # Allow YAML customization

[Server] (Admin Only)
LockConfiguration = false # Force server settings to all clients

YAML File (Individual Skills)

Location: BepInEx/config/SkillLimitExtender/SLE_Skill_List.yaml

# Vanilla Skills
Swords: 500
Bows: 300
Jump: 250
Run: 250

# Mod Skills (manually add)
Cartography: 400
MagicSkill: 350

Server Administration

For Server Owners:

1. Set LockConfiguration = true in your config
2. Configure DefaultCap and EnableYamlOverride as desired
3. All connecting players will automatically use your settings
4. Players cannot override with local YAML when locked

For Players:

• Use Configuration Manager (F1) to adjust personal settings
• Edit YAML file for individual skill customization
• Server settings override local config when locked

Mod Skill Support

To add skills from other mods:

1. Find the skill name using /raiseskill command
2. Add to YAML file: SkillName: DesiredCap
3. Restart game to apply changes

Example for Cartography skill:

Cartography: 400

Commands

All vanilla commands work with extended caps:

raiseskill Swords 200     # Works with mod skills too
resetskill Cartography   # Individual reset works
resetskill all           # Resets vanilla skills (mod limitation)
