ravenloft Yes still work and yes for sciene purposes you can make a lord with all benefics but need alot of trys (ty rng!)
Ravenloft Jan 11, 2022 @ 11:45pm 
There used to be this odd interaction that when respecing, the "Name of Power" type of skills that the Dark Elves have would be kept as the name of power dilemma grants a trait. Does this still work? ...For science purposes

For some reason my game always crashes everytime i try to respec any of my lords.
Ginge Dec 9, 2021 @ 3:11am 
I have the save button, but there is a bug that when re-specing if the character had a mount already it will keep the mount even though you have reset the points.
Guapo Aug 30, 2021 @ 12:43pm 
I just finished trying that, still no button on my save.
Vanzig  [author] Aug 30, 2021 @ 10:30am 
When you loaded the save did you try unchecking and rechecking that "allow invalid mods" or whatever checkbox in the menu? Sometimes the game will load the save without any mods that you didn't start the campaign enabled unless you specifically turn that off and back on before loading the save.
Guapo Aug 30, 2021 @ 1:24am 
Looks like its a save issue, button showed up in the new campaign.
Vanzig  [author] Aug 30, 2021 @ 1:16am 
Test with a new campaign (I just autoresolve first battle to level) and if the button doesn't appear there then it's not setup right. If the button appears in your new one and not in the old one, then we know it's a save issue.
Guapo Aug 30, 2021 @ 12:45am 
is this save game compatible? Made sure load order is correct, using most current mod. Button doesn't show up.I don't have any other mods installed.
Mr.Steel Aug 23, 2021 @ 8:44am 
Yes...I'm dumb. This is the first mod I've ever used in my 5 days of playing this game, and I didn't know there's a mod manager in the game launcher and that mods are turned off by default. You could add this to the description so you don't have to bother with people like me :D It works perfectly now, thanks for the mod!
Vanzig  [author] Aug 22, 2021 @ 7:24pm 
Just an fyi, in old version with the button still in middle of searchbar, you can click above or below the bar to press the respec button. And left or right of the button to select the searchbar. I was using it fine but it was moved for aesthetics and ease of use.
Vanzig  [author] Aug 22, 2021 @ 7:17pm 
Sounds like your computer must have the wrong version installed, the button was moved to the side 1-2 months ago. Delete your version of the mod off the computer entirely with the game closed, unsubscribe and resubscribe and it'll download the current version and it should have no overlap.
Mr.Steel Aug 22, 2021 @ 6:07pm 
Disregard my last comment, I'm new to the game and didn't know there's a default reset skill points in the top right corner (the one you can use when you add a skill point and change your mind on the spot). I think the problem is that the search bar covers the button completely and I can't use it at all. Any solution?
Vanzig  [author] Aug 21, 2021 @ 6:44pm 
Make a new campaign with only the two mods turned on and autoresolve a battle, throw some points on someone then see if your respec mod setup is correct first.

Nobody else has posted about greyed buttons so it's gotta be something unusual going on somewhere.
Mr.Steel Aug 21, 2021 @ 11:41am 
The button is there, as is the search bar, but for some reason it's greyed out and won't work. Tried reinstalling and still not working. Any tips? Some confederated factions had really bad ideas about what makes a good hero.
Ogrim Aug 9, 2021 @ 5:35pm 
Really enjoy this mod, keep up the good work!!!
DrDCB Jul 26, 2021 @ 12:42am 
I fiddled around with a righthand-side alignment, using the Rename button as the anchor/reference, in case you want to consider that for the future (perhaps as a toggleable MCT option?):

llr.button = core:get_or_create_component("obr_button", "ui/templates/square_medium_button")
local button_rename = find_uicomponent(core:get_ui_root(), "character_details_panel", "button_rename")
local renbW, renbH = button_rename:Bounds()
local renbX, renbY = button_rename:Position()
llr.button:Resize(renbW, renbH)

local buttoncount = 0

if cm:char_is_general(char) then
buttoncount = 3
else
buttoncount = 2
end

llr.button:MoveTo(renbX - (buttoncount * renbW), renbY)

Seems those righthand buttons use the transparent icon boundaries for spacing, so that's pretty simple and should scale to all resolutions - https://i.imgur.com/Wooa0TH.png

Edit: Reposted a revised version to postion the icon separately for lords and agents.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 25, 2021 @ 8:24am 
Pushed button move live, thanks to DrDCB.
DrDCB Jul 25, 2021 @ 3:42am 
For anyone on 1080p, I found that changing line 157 of wec_obr.lua to

llr.button:MoveTo(bX / 2 - llr.button:Width() / 2, bY)

pushes the respec button past the search box.

An alternative permanent solution might be pushing it across to the far right of the screen, next to the View Records and Rename buttons, if that would be more compatible with other resolutions.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 21, 2021 @ 11:11pm 
- enable only the two mods and nothing else
- change load order so this is somewhere below UIMF, there's a load order changed version in my workshop if you don't want to manually change or setting isn't saving somehow
- try a new campaign to see if non-morghur characters or non-confederated characters respec fine
- if your install is crashing abnormally, might go warhammer data folder and select both InfiniteCharacterRespec and UIModdingframework and delete then download new copies from workshop (fix load order again as needed)

There'd be a wall of its-broken comments if the mod itself was very busted, so probably something on your personal install we can troubleshoot.
drum_epoch Jul 21, 2021 @ 8:21pm 
Started a fresh game with Taurox (all DLC installed) and I confederated Morghur, unfortunately when I try to respec Morghur it crashes to desktop pretty reliably.
zechs195 Jul 21, 2021 @ 11:54am 
@Vanzig no worries. more than likely its something to do with the scaling on my end and how its rendered. Or something else with how the mods are loaded.
Kabcr Jul 20, 2021 @ 5:48pm 
Thanks for the hard work my man, take a break, the buggy UI isn't that big of a deal since I'm not going to be using the search bar anytime soon.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 20, 2021 @ 4:04pm 
Currently at the search bar, I can press the searchbar or press the button just fine. I might move it over but I spent enough hours trying to get it stable for everyone that I've avoided messing with code until any serious problems are gone.
zechs195 Jul 20, 2021 @ 3:56pm 
Can someone post a screen cap of the respec button post update? Is it supposed to be next to the new search bar?
Vanzig  [author] Jul 20, 2021 @ 9:54am 
That's unfortunate. No idea which part of the UIMF changed backwards compatibility. At least it still works with future campaigns.
Kabcr Jul 20, 2021 @ 8:14am 
Actually, no, it does work on a new campaign with new heroes. I'm not entirely sure what broke the save game compatibility, since the button was there before UIMF was updated (and when it CTD'd). I went back to all my older saves before the patch and it seems it no longer works on any of them: therefore, as of right now, this mod will not work any any saved games started before "The Hammers and Herdstones" update.
Kabcr Jul 20, 2021 @ 7:17am 
The button is no longer there for me. I tried all the solutions listed since, but it hasn't shown up yet. I suspect it's the search bar on the skill tab causing problems but I could be wrong.
Villas Jul 16, 2021 @ 2:29pm 
@Vanzig UIMF was updated.
stars2heaven Jul 16, 2021 @ 2:39am 
I didn't try the renamed version, but replacing the .pack file did work.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 15, 2021 @ 7:19pm 
Hmm, can you see if it still crashes for you with the other renamed version of this mod that I added today?

Alternatively, sometimes a mod isn't downloaded right and deleting the files and downloading a new copy may suddenly make it work.

I've been playing all day with that version and spec'd 20 times with zero issue.
stars2heaven Jul 15, 2021 @ 4:49pm 
I'm having trouble with CTDs as well. I tried moving UIMF around and it didn't do the trick for me. The load order in the mod manager did keep it to what I had set, so I don't think there is a problem there for me.
PapaDoc Jul 15, 2021 @ 10:51am 
@Vanzig Did you mean directly below UIMF or anywhere below it ? Beacause I have it far below in my list and It's still CTD my game
Jim0000001 Jul 15, 2021 @ 10:11am 
I tried a different lord, but pressed the No option instead. It crashed just the same.
Jim0000001 Jul 15, 2021 @ 10:08am 
When I click to respec Ungrim, I get the yes/no box. When I click yes the game freezes and after ~30 seconds it crashes.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 15, 2021 @ 7:51am 
I've got it working for me now, but there are issues if the load order isn't below UIMF. Not sure why it's being difficult for me to change the order. For emergency, I uploaded a renamed one that seems to be below UIMF if you're having trouble getting load order to stay correct (link above in description)
Ninaran Jul 15, 2021 @ 6:46am 
That search bar is so baffling in the first place. Looks sooo weird in there, doesn't fit the aesthetic at all, what the heck is that? CA pls
Cal Jul 14, 2021 @ 11:01pm 
@vanzig There is a new search bar where your respec button is.
Vanzig  [author] Jul 14, 2021 @ 1:53pm 
Currently broken/crashing. Definitely save game before pushing the button if you're gonna risk using it, or disable it until we figure out why it's broken.
Zaayl Jul 14, 2021 @ 1:07pm 
Crashes if you respec Taurox :c
TechnoBarbarian Jul 14, 2021 @ 12:06pm 
+1 for latest patch - thanks
LSD Jul 14, 2021 @ 9:33am 
need att plss
Vanzig  [author] Jul 4, 2021 @ 6:53pm 
Are you losing points with exactly 2 mods installed? Haven't heard any similar complaint from the 17,000 other people using it and this just calls the in-game respec command.
Comrade Banafelope Jul 4, 2021 @ 8:45am 
Play dwarves as Belegar Ironlhammer i'm having my heroes randomly lose talant points, and it seems to be retro active for my saves, meaning to fix it i have to load a save before i respeced, any ideas here? it seems to happen around turn 34, but idk if its related to the turn the time since respec or what.
deathmaths11 Jun 16, 2021 @ 10:53pm 
l know it probably sounds stupid but is it possible in the description to tell us where to find the button? l had to look in the comments section to find out the respec button is bottom left.

l can confirm when l downloed the ui mod framework like you said and this infinite respec mod works.
Vanzig  [author] Apr 12, 2021 @ 10:23pm 
Yeah, that's just built-in. CA gives a respec command that doesn't remove words of power. Either you just don't buy it a 2nd time or you choose to exploit, it's the way the game is programmed.
NathanS48 Apr 12, 2021 @ 1:04pm 
This mod is working fine for me, however I found an exploit that I totally haven't been using on purpose. I am playing as Malekith and if I do a Name of Power on a lord and then respec, I keep the name of power trait and can keep getting more and more and more on a single lord. I am going to create a god pretty soon.
bofan Mar 31, 2021 @ 3:06pm 
Played through another campaign in the meantime (with this mod), and switched back to the old save file (that used the one time respec mod). It's somehow fixed now.
Dixie Normus Mar 29, 2021 @ 3:48pm 
People have posted about issues with the UI Modding Framework in combination with both respec mods and others. The Framework shows no new confliects in Kaedrin's though and it's just a framework that should work anyway. But something's up.
bofan Mar 27, 2021 @ 2:11pm 
Just tested, won't work. The other mod is disabled, checked twice.
When it works, clicking on the respec button gives you a yes/no prompt, when it doesn't (on characters that already used the one respec via the other mod) no prompt occurs.
Nothing is perfect, will begin anew. Thanks for the fast response!
