30 Hero Cap + 2 Skill Points per Level AND Signature Hero Skills Compatibility Patch

Description
A compatibility patch to make 30 Hero Cap + 2 Skill Points per Level and Signature Hero Skills play a little nicer together. By play a little nicer together, I mean give the Champion and Wizard their two extra signature skills at levels 24 and 30, and tuning the levels they get them to match with the Dragon Lord and Eldritch Sovereign.

As of now, you get tiers 1-4 in order, then get a second tier 1 (base stats increase depending on chosen affinity) and then a second tier 2 (another skill from either your initial tier 1 pick or your new tier 1 pick). Both will be altered by your tier 3 pick and morphed into it's enhanced version, and both will be enhanced by the tier 4 selection. Notably, if you pick, say, enhance healing in tier 4, and there is no healing on your second ability at level 30... it won't do anything for you, so you lose out on the potential buff. Keep that in mind!

I tested giving a new tier 1 and 3, but because tier 3 overwrites your skill choice from Tier 2 depnding on what you pick, what ends up happening is you lose your initial skill upgrade and get a different one depending on your new tier 3 choice. That felt bad, as the capstone to leveling shouldn't be "You lose something to gain something different that now does 3 extra blight damage". I'm sure a better modder could fix that and just give you both options, but that ain't me. I'm the duct tape and gorilla glue kind.

This one took about an hour as there was a lot of modding specifics I never learned when updating the original, and another hour of testing to determine what to give at levels 24 and 30. Props to the real mod makers out there like Jacks and MusicManiac for learning this system and making cool, free content for everyone.

Good to know. Also good to know there's people like TurtleMaster that don't bother reading first.

Also, for whatever reason, my dragon lords get signature skills. No one one else. No other godir or regular heroes, but the Dragon Lords are unaffected by this bug.

The no signature skills comes from the core 30 level cap mod. I only have that one, and theyre gone. I came here cause I thought this might fix it

I do not get 2 points per level, in addition after enabling the mod i get no signature tree for some reason, this is just feedback though I saw you are working on improving it, I did not see anyone else mentioning it

@Everyone

My base mod for 30 hero cap is outdated at the moment so this compatibility patch will also be nonfunctional until I update the core mod. Please refer to my comment there for an update on that. Thanks!

Just a quick comment that after the WW DLC that I am getting a message in-game while in the DLC list that this mod is missing a metadata file or it cannot be accessed and when I start a game it CTD. Just started since WW and worked as the two original file together. Not sure if the compatibility patch is still compatible after WW.

I haven't played without the compatibility patch so I don't know.

@skaz88

Is this something that only occurs with this compatibility patch applied? There was a new update to Signature Hero Skills, so it is also possible something weird happened with the patch after the update. I haven't been able to run testing with the new patch yet, so let me know if you can! Worst case, once I can, I'll check. Thanks!

For some reason Enhance Damage is order and Enhance Cooldown is chaos.

Someone mind sharing the metadata file?
