Skill Manager

Can be used to easily add new skills to Valheim. Will automatically add config options to your mod and sync the configuration from a server, if the mod is installed on the server as well. Please note that you still have to implement the effect your skill has yourself.

How to add skills

Copy the skill icon (a 64x64 image) into an icons directory in your project and make sure to set it as an EmbeddedResource in the properties of the asset bundle.

Merging the DLLs into your mod

Download the SkillManager.dll and the ServerSync.dll from the release section to the right. Including the DLLs is best done via ILRepack (https://github.com/ravibpatel/ILRepack.Lib.MSBuild.Task). You can load this package (ILRepack.Lib.MSBuild.Task) from NuGet.

If you have installed ILRepack via NuGet, simply create a file named ILRepack.targets in your project and copy the following content into the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <Target Name="ILRepacker" AfterTargets="Build">
        <ItemGroup>
            <InputAssemblies Include="$(TargetPath)" />
            <InputAssemblies Include="$(OutputPath)\SkillManager.dll" />
            <InputAssemblies Include="$(OutputPath)\ServerSync.dll" />
        </ItemGroup>
        <ILRepack Parallel="true" DebugInfo="true" Internalize="true" InputAssemblies="@(InputAssemblies)" OutputFile="$(TargetPath)" TargetKind="SameAsPrimaryAssembly" LibraryPath="$(OutputPath)" />
    </Target>
</Project>

Make sure to set the SkillManager.dll and the ServerSync.dll in your project to "Copy to output directory" in the properties of the DLLs and to add a reference to it. After that, simply add using SkillManager; to your mod and use the Skill class, to add your skills.

The SkillManager also adds two extension methods GetSkillFactor and RaiseSkill on Character and Skills classes to get and increase the skill in your code by skill name.
