    Okay so I didn't want to post this up here until I finished as I wasn't looking for advice or criticisms just yet but I'm unable to figure this out. I've been working on a skill mod (my first mod), I've gotten it to show up in the mod launcher but it won't appear in-game. I don't actually have any art yet so I've been trying to use a filler for everything.

    I could use another set of eyes on this one. Thanks in advance.

    PS: This is also my first time posting on these forums. Hello.

    Welcome to the forums!

    I'm not a modder, but I play one on TV. I don't know nearly as much as others on here, so their advise should overrule mine. But I do see a few things:
    • Your SkillDB and SpellDB are named SkillDB.xml.xml and SpellDB.xml.xml. I doubt the game likes this.
    • You use the same icon for everything. Last time I knew anything, the game did not like the same icon being used for buffs, because they overwrite each other. You should copy and rename your temp icon a few times and use it once for each buff.
    • You have a few smallicon="skills/ntwarrior64.png" instead of 32

    I didn't expect to get such fast responses. :)

    That's what I get for "hiding extensions for known filetypes".

    That's what I get for not being an artist.

    Hah, silly coding errors.

    It's showing up as a skill choice now. That was my biggest concern so thank you for that. I've got issues with it but I haven't isolated them yet.
