Modifying skill learning rates
« on: June 28, 2016, 01:30:33 pm »

Wanted to see if it would be possible to learn how to modify the learning rates for Guild members to actually make it a bit slower for them to level, yet still have advantage over vanilla characters? Sorry if this isn't the place, just haven't been able to find elsewhere. Love the game, just not very good at adapting things outside of the UI. Still playing humans in the old version as well.

Thanks!

Sure. Check creature_civ_dwarf.txt and check for SKILL_LEARN_RATE. The guilds have it at 200%, you can pick any number you like.

Sounds good......i checked the folder, is this what I need to be reducing? (i've been dropping them to 120 for a trial run), this is all I could find regarding skill rate for the various castes:

   [CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME:STANDARD:*Masons-Guild Member*:*Masons-Guild Members*]   
  [SKILL_RATE:MINING:120:0:0:0]           
[SKILL_RATE:DESIGNBUILDING:120:0:0:0]       
 [SKILL_RATE:MASONRY:200:0:0:0]         
 [SKILL_RATE:STONECRAFT:200:0:0:0]         
[SKILL_RATE:DETAILSTONE:200:0:0:0]   
[SKILL_RATE:MILLING:200:0:0:0]

SKILL_LEARN_RATE.

If you have a search that supports regex, SKILL.*?RATE will fit all variations on that.

Nah, SKILL_RATE is the one he is looking for. its 200 0 0 0, which means they learn twice as fast and never get rusty in those skills. Skill learn rate would not have the rusty/decay of skills.
