Reclaim the Prestige Mod #785

Open oakaxe opened 2 years ago

oakaxe commented 2 years ago

I've been playing Stardew for many years, and have always liked the Skill Prestige mod by Alphablackwolf and it's sister mods that add support for Magic/Luck/Cooking skills. Only problem is that the mod was abandoned and never updated. There are unofficial patches on the SDV wiki for the base and add-ons, but these have also been abandoned and are starting to fall apart. The Magic one specifically no longer works because of an update to the Magic mod that changes how it works.

I have no modding capabilities but was hoping that someone could help by making a new prestige mod or to patch the unofficial patches. If you make a new prestige mod (probably the easier option since I'm told messing with other people's code can be a pain), here is my description of what I'd like the mod to do:

When you reach level 10 in a skill, you have the option to prestige that skill. Prestiging will give you a set amount of prestige points (or tokens/coins/etc) and reset the skill level to 0. The prestige points scale skill xp so it's faster to level up the skill again and can be used to permenantly purchase professions from the prestiged skill. Level 10 professions would require their level 5 professions aquired with prestige points first, aswell as cost more points than the level 5 professions.

Thanks

@oakaxe I've been looking at the mod you linked, and before giving any false hope I don't intend to update the mod, but I was just curious how it works? I don't quite understand what it's about?

I level farming to 10, I prestige it to 0 and get 1 farming point to do what? Buy farming level 5? Why, it was just at 10? Maybe I just don't understand how STD professions work, it's been a while since I've played it, but there's something I'm missing here clearly :D

Oh, it seems you get to choose profession/perks at level 5 and 10? So there are a total of 4 you can choose from, but you can only select 2, once at 5 and once at 10? So what this mod does is simply resetting your skill level down to 0 so you eventually can get all 4 perks/professions for each skill using a token to buy them?

Yea, that's a good description. The tokens to buy them would be aquired by resetting the skill to 0, just to be clear

You can spend the points to get the professions without being at the level, so you could prestige Farming and then buy the Tiller profession and then always have it, so that when you reach level 5 farming you can select the Rancher profession and have both

That actually sounds awesome. Now I want this. Did have a quick look at the mod and it's quite a big one. Not something you fix in an afternoon I'm afraid.

Thanks for looking. If you ever want a bigger project you know where to come :D For a smaller project, the Magic add-on for sure does not work under any circumstance so if you could take a look at that maybe? But then you'd be looking at a mod that combines 2 other large mods and I'm not sure how long that'd take. Thanks for your input anyways!

No worries! I'll let you know in here if I ever find the time for it :)!

Just wondering, I believe there's a mod called Walk of Life - Immersive profession which is quite similar to what you're looking for. Unless you prefer the vanilla perk

I was hoping to have vanilla perks, but I'll check out this mod and see how the changes work for my gamestyle, thanks
