A: New skill categories can only be added in the exclusive version:

1. Use the in-game generator
2. Create your skill layout
3. Copy the generated config
4. Add it to your config file

A: Yes, there are two ways:

1. Change the effect value in the skill configuration
2. Use the skill generator (exclusive version) to modify effects

A: You can use:

1. Event listeners (devhub_skillTree:client:listener:skillUnlocked)
2. Exports (hasUnlockedSkill, getSkillEffect)
3. Server-side exports for checking skill status

A: Exclusive version includes:

• Skill tree generator
• Ability to create custom skill categories
• Live preview of skill tree changes
• More customization options

A: The effect option allows developers to centralize skill effect values, simplifying long-term script maintenance. By defining effects in one place, you can adjust skill-related attributes more efficiently without needing to modify multiple scripts. However, it is not mandatory to use this feature; it is entirely up to your preference!

A: Yes, you can use our built-in skill tree generator in the exclusive version to manage skill path blocking:

1. Select the skill you want to set as a blocker
2. Click on "Block skills after unlock" option
3. Select which skills should be blocked after this skill is unlocked
4. The selected skills will become unavailable after the player unlocks the blocking skill

This feature is useful for creating mutually exclusive skill paths or preventing certain skill combinations.

A: Yes, you can do it using Config.UnlockHandlerForSkills in configs/sh.main.lua
More on that you can find here

You can also use the new Helpers (v3) to simplify item/job/money checks.

A: An optional per-skill mechanic — players must keep earning XP to maintain unlocked skills. If a player stops earning XP in a category, that category's skills slowly lose "stamina" each cycle (default 1 day). When stamina hits 0 the skill effect is disabled until the player earns enough XP to reactivate it.

Configurable via Config.SkillDegradation and per-skill degradation = {...} blocks. Disable entirely with Config.SkillDegradation = nil.

A: Config.DailyXpLimit caps how much XP a player can earn per day in each category. By default DefaultLimit = 0 which means unlimited, so the system is effectively off out of the box. To fully disable the system (skip even the reset timer), set Config.DailyXpLimit = nil.

A: A global secondary currency you can require (or accept) to unlock skills — useful for donor/VIP currencies. Configured via Config.PremiumCurrency with a server-side handler that checks and deducts the currency. Skills opt-in by specifying a premiumCurrency amount via the generator. See the Premium Currency section in the configuration.

A: Set Config.Theme in configs/sh.main.lua to one of "legacy", "modern", "zombie", or "fantasy" and restart the resource.

A: Open the skill tree menu while logged in as an admin — the admin button appears in the top right. Permission is checked via Core.IsPlayerAdmin(source) from devhub_lib, so make sure your framework's admin detection is configured.

A: The Config.EarnXp format changed in v3. The XP amount moved from a top-level xp = N field into the value of addTo. The old format still runs, but addTo = {['personal'] = true} is no longer a number, so it silently falls back to 5 XP.

Old (v2):

['running'] = { xp = 10, timeout = 10000, addTo = { ['personal'] = true } }

New (v3):

['running'] = { timeout = 10000, addTo = { ['personal'] = 10 } }

A: v3 adds two new columns to the dh_skilltree table. Run the SQL migration:

ALTER TABLE `dh_skilltree`
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS `data` LONGTEXT DEFAULT NULL,
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS `name` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL;

A: Make sure to:

1. Ensure the external script AFTER skill tree in your server.cfg
2. If you've restarted skill tree, you must also restart the desired script so skills can be added again
3. This is because external skills are registered on script start

A: Check:

1. Database connection
2. SQL file installation
3. Resource load order (devhub_lib must load first)

A: Most likely you haven't configured devhub_lib playerLoaded event. Make sure to properly configure your framework's playerLoaded event in devhub_lib. This is required for the skill tree to initialize properly when a player joins the server.

A: Edit CategoryVisibilityHandler in generator

A: The impact is minimal because:

• Skills are loaded only when needed
• Effects are calculated client-side
• Database operations are optimized
• Events are throttled

In v1 and v2 each category supports up to 171 slots (9x19 grid)
In v3 there are no limits

A: Yes, through devhub_lib which provides framework configuration. Configure your framework in devhub_lib settings.
