Add Available Starting Skill Points

[fruteloop23]

^ I've tried changing the LUA file, that didn't work. I've tried a couple of mods and neither worked. This is for a server I'm renting from a server host. Anyone know? I don't want a crazy amount, but maybe add 20 or so points?

Just set the multiplier higher. at 16x you get the first 3 levels very quickly, but after that it starts to require more time and effort.

If you will be the admin, i think in admin mode, you will have the ability to manipulate your own and other players' traits and exp. Basically you can just "give" a player a certain amount of exp points which will allow them to level up some skills.

I've got 57 points to spend on skills, just sneak, run and level up skills, it will be enough, belive me.

How did changing the lua not work?
In the Server folder there is a file called servertest_SandboxVars.lua
There is a line that says CharacterFreePoints = 0,
You can change that to whatever number you want and then need to save the file.

After that you need to restart the server so the changes properly transfer to it and it should work.

I think he doesnt mean the points you can spend to get traits during the character creation screen.

He means to be able to level up skills from the start, by having some extra skill points available.

Thank you everyone... and sorry. I didn't call it the right thing or describe it properly. Beard is exactly right on what I'm trying to do. I want players to have more points to spend in character creation.

I'm still pretty new to the game, but love it and am tired of jumping servers so I got my own! :)

Thank you Beard... that worked! I had to figure out where that file was, but yay... thank you so much! Now onto the other pesky little things that are not wanting to cooperate hehe.

Ok, Beard, if you see this (Or anyone else) --- One more problem I'm struggling with and Citadel Servers don't have the answer (they're trying to help by Googling right along with me though...)

I'm trying to change the items that players spawn with. I added this to the spawnitems line, and changed starterkit to true. But it's not working...

SpawnItems=Hydrocraft.BigHikingBag,Hydrocraft.HCSurvivalaxe,Hydrocraft.HCCanteenfull,Hydrocraft.HCCanteenfull,Hydrocraft.HCMRE,Hydrocraft.HCMRE

Nevermind... they figured it out and fixed it for me. I'll be looking at it to see what they did so I understand and can do it next time.
