Hey,

Ive been working on a2 client and adding armors/weps/wings etcc, now it comes down to skills. I kinda know some of what im suppose to be adding like, anim/textures/property/status.csv/skilltable etcc, but what else am i missing? i just wanted to know exactly which files i have to mess with to add new skills. And yes i have searched all over nothing really came up.

Thank a lot.

some mobs and skills use remote.csv to deal damage...but i dont know exactly how remote.csv work, and how skills are connected to it

About adding skills to the "K" menu ingame.. (I figure out how do that by myself, so maybe i'm missing something)

You have to add Mesh,Skel,Texture and Tpack effect files for each skill you add

Add also Anim files!
When you've added everything, go to share/action/pc folder and open swd_act0 file (in my case since i've added an AK skill) And Add EVERY line that are missing for the skill. (or the character wont move while casting the skill)

Now add the skill icon to your Imagetable (the Index is 145 for bounce defender)

Make sure you added the skill at skilltable at 145 index (client and server side)

Open the Skill file (example: k_3_1_bouncedefender.csv)

Look at "Index, IconIndex, PosX, PosY, IconTabIndex"

Make sure Index is 145 inside the skill file.
In my case i changed X as 0, Y as 3 and IconTabIndex as 3 ... Now my Bounce Defender is under the BlindJab Skill.

I Hope i helped you

Well yeah u gotta add anim files if u want skills animations. The only files im concerned about is what do i add in the "share" folder :P. Theres more than just skill folder. The part that will take the longest will be adding into property/effect files and adding into status.csv. For bounce defender you will have to add it into status.csv too since its suppose to give you a defense increase after casting it.
