(Skill Idea-Request) Knuckle Fighting

[tatanxx]

Just wondering... is there ANY way to make up a new type of skill?
i was just thinking about knuckle fighting skills

if i want to do this, how im supposed to create a new skill type and then create some item (knuckles perhaps?) to work properly with them?

SKILL_FIRST = 0
SKILL_FIST = SKILL_FIRST
SKILL_CLUB = 1
SKILL_SWORD = 2
SKILL_AXE = 3
SKILL_DISTANCE = 4
SKILL_SHIELD = 5
SKILL_FISHING = 6
SKILL__MAGLEVEL = 7
SKILL__LEVEL = 8
SKILL_LAST = SKILL_FISHING
SKILL__LAST = SKILL__LEVEL

SKILL_NAMES = {
	[SKILL_FIST] = "fist fighting",
	[SKILL_CLUB] = "club fighting",
	[SKILL_SWORD] = "sword fighting",
	[SKILL_AXE] = "axe fighting",
	[SKILL_DISTANCE] = "distance fighting",
	[SKILL_SHIELD] = "shielding",
	[SKILL_FISHING] = "fishing",
	[SKILL__LEVEL] = "level",
	[SKILL__MAGLEVEL] = "magic level"
}

SKILL_IDS = {
	["fist"] = SKILL_FIST,
	["club"] = SKILL_CLUB,
	["sword"] = SKILL_SWORD,
	["axe"] = SKILL_AXE,
	["distance"] = SKILL_DISTANCE,
	["dist"] = SKILL_DISTANCE,
	["shielding"] = SKILL_SHIELD,
	["shield"] = SKILL_SHIELD,
	["fishing"] = SKILL_FISHING,
	["fish"] = SKILL_FISHING,
	["level"] = SKILL__LEVEL,
	["magic"] = SKILL__MAGLEVEL
}

there's already "fist fighting".

god.. i know!
theres such a little but obvious difference between give u a punch in your face bare handed and
use 2 knuckles as weapon perhaps D:

 

[tatanxx]

bump!... meh whatever..i guess nobody like the idea anyway

 

[Frillinde]

What about just adding fist-type weapons that use the fist skill rather than trying to make a new skill? Like a punching stick, brass knuckles, weighted gloves and katars.Ive added 2 new vocations on my server and 1 of them , the Pugilist, uses fist skill and fist weapons.

Its not a bad idea though..........

 

[tatanxx]

that's exactly what i wanna do (if we cant perhaps add a new skill type them)
now the problem i have is that for some odd reason the fist fighting skill wont advance up in my server :/ and i might have to fix this in order to make fist weapons, that would be awesome >_<

Nice idea!

it requires source change and I'm pretty sure you also need to do some modifications with the client to be able to create a new skill type

 

[TGYoshi]

Indeed, this requires client sided changes (which isn't possible easily afaik) in order to update the "skills" panel. You can, however, make a fake skill which doesn't show up in the skills panel.

i work with a custom client which is very editable, so it can't be that hard to add new skill types to the client-side
