Update Config Skill Maps

In the damage events the xp gained is controlled by values in the server config. That config was updated to use a map instead of two separate config entries. it used to be a modifier and a single skill. Now you can set multiple skills with their own modifiers. The tick events use this same format, for those that it applies to.

Added Loot Predicates

This is by far the biggest and coolest part of this update. This essentially ports the "extra chance", "rare mob drops", "rare fish loot", and "treasure" features. You now have 3 new PMMO-related conditions you can use in loot tables to define drops. Loot tables are far more versatile than any system for any of the above features, so I strongly recommend you look into them if you are not familiar. In short though, these conditions let you set specific drops for an entity or block to be conditional on a player skill. The most basic conditions are pmmo:skill_level and pmmo:skill_level_kill. The latter works for kills, while the former works on everything else, including chest loot. That's right, you can now make chests give different loot based on a player's skills. the format for this condition in the loot table is:

{"type":"pmmo:skill_level",
 "skill":"skillname",  //required
 "level_min": 10,      //optional
 "level_max": 20       //optional
}

leaving out both optional keys is pointless since the condition will always be true in that case.

The third condition is pmmo:highest_skill which returns true only if the target skill is the highest of those it's compared to.

{"type":"pmmo:highest_skill",
 "target_skill":"skillname",
 "comparable_skills": ["skill1", "skill2"]
}

All keys are required. The comparable skills are those that the target skill is compared against. if the target skill has the highest level of all the comparables, the condition will return true. You can use this to give different items based on a player's highest skill. for example a strong bow for an archer, but a strong sword to a combatant.

Made Tooltips Disappear If The Player Meets The Req

instead of changing color or striking-through when a req is met, the req will now stop displaying. Only unmet reqs will appear in a tooltip now. If all reqs are met, the requirement section itself will disappear. This design was to help in keeping tooltips as minimal as possible.

Finalized Default Fireworks in pmmo-perks.toml

All the default PMMO skills are now generated in the default pmmo-perks.toml with fireworks entries. You now get fireworks on all default skills. This is mostly in preparation for auto-values which is the next feature to be implemented.

Testing Notes

  • Loot Tables. Loot Tables. Loot Tables. check fishing, chests, mobs, everything. They should all work just fine so this is mostly for you to have fun with it by doing ridiculous things.
  • Event Testing. Not a lot was done to test behavior and situations where things might be cheese-able or work oddly. Strange behaviors are expected. Please report any oddities.
  • Have fun. we are getting very close to a final version.
