Trouble editing Petmax on Necro's Raise Skeleton

[Itzokaama]

Hello I'm new in the Diablo modding community and I think what I'm trying to do should be pretty simple but I can't for the love of it figure out what's wrong

I'm trying to make the Raise Skeleton skill progression work like in the original game (+1 Skeleton per level with a max of 20 instead of the 8 we have right now) I found the Skill sheet, extrated it to my mods folder (\Mods\necro\necro.mpq\data\data\global\excel)

Created a modinfo.json inside necro.mpq (made sure that the file extention was right) with the following simple lines of code pointing to the mod

Code: Select all

{
	"name": "necro",
	"savepatch": ".../"
}

located the "Raise Skeleton" at line 72 and edited the collum "Petmax" to different values to see if I could affect the game

• Tried to put a standard value (20) to see if it would change anything... nothing

• Edited Blizzards formula

  Code: Select all

  (lvl < 4) ?lvl:(2+lvl/3)

  to

  Code: Select all

  (lvl:(2+lvl/1)

• Tried the simple (1+lvl)

• And a suggested one for 1 skeleton every 2 levels

  Code: Select all

  max(1,skill('Raise Skeleton'.blvl)/2)

Here's how my launcher is set up



Already tried changing the mod's name all around and nothing

game simply won't change anything,

Anyone has any ideas what I might be doing wrong or a better way to achieve the result I want (one Skeleton per skill level LIKE THE CLASSIC)

Thanks in advance tho :v

There should be some line, perhaps in the calculations section, which uses a mathematical/code expression to convert input (skill level) to output (max skeletons). This would be in the Skills.txt file.
