Release 0.0.31

• Version 0.0.31: accumulated Second/Mythic skill routes and Ultimate Z binding compiled with zero warnings/errors; 29,331 skill checks passed (game resources stubbed). Fixed a VFX local-name collision, updated Unity Rigidbody API and refreshed regression expectations/quest fixture. User explicitly clarified that build requests authorize compilation and release ZIP creation/replacement. Release 0.0.31 ZIP created and verified; compiled BepInPlugin/assembly/manifest versions match. DLL: bin/Release/net48/HarrisonEpicSkillSystem.dll; package: HarrisonEpicSkillSystem-0.0.31.zip; historical source-only notes below are superseded for this release. Runtime visuals and previously documented gameplay limitations still require in-game verification.

Ultimate hotkey update

• Ultimate Slot 5 now defaults to Z. Startup migrates the previous plain G binding to Z; other customized shortcuts are preserved. HUD/tree binding labels already read the live Controls/UltimateSkill entry and automatically display Z.
• This entry supersedes historical G-default references below. Version remains 0.0.30; no build/tests/package/release scripts run. Existing binaries are unchanged until an explicit build request.

Paladin Mythic Ultimate source update

• Tab 4, Level 90+: explicit Crusader -> DivineKnight, Justicar -> Arbiter, Saint -> Seraph lineage validation; distinct Defense, Intelligence/Defense hybrid and Defense class paths bypass Life. Existing persisted ultimate quest flag gates model/service purchases; permanent learned HUD Slot 5 with configurable G default reused.
• HeavenlyBastion (paladin_templar.rank3.4): 180s default cooldown; shield_fortify, enormous white-gold native ShieldBraker/resurrection walls attached to player root via existing SetParent(player.transform, false). Six-second damage/push/stagger immunity uses finite SEMan effects on caster and nearby allied player clients within seven metres at cast reception. Each client affects only its owned player; mutually PvP-enabled players excluded. Requires the mod on allied clients; NPC/tamed ally immunity not implemented. Incoming-hit immunity does not intercept direct health assignment/environmental loss.
• FinalJudgment (paladin_inquisitor.rank3.4): 120s default cooldown; attack_sledge, huge white-gold native burn/Eikthyr lightning columns emitted only at actual successful hit coordinates. Existing protected Nova damage retained.
• SeraphicGrace (paladin_clericknight.rank3.4): 150s default cooldown; staff_summon prayer invocation, 4x root-following native healing/starlight dome. Six-second local caster support heals ten HP once per second and repeatedly clears existing native Burning/Poison/Frost/Freezing/Tarred whitelist. No arbitrary status deletion, ally healing, resurrection or permanent stat mutation.
• Support skills no longer execute their previous offensive Nova template; stable IDs, node/class/quest/level gates, costs and other classes remain unchanged. Native replicas strip gameplay components; finite lifetimes retained; existing cooldown config overrides respected. Screen coverage/geometry are native particle approximations requiring in-game verification.
• CHANGELOG.md, README.md and summary.md updated immediately; delimiter/three-route/name source audit passed; lineage, cooldown, column, Level 89/90 and root/hit route regression coverage prepared. No compilation/tests/build/release/package scripts run under build-only-on-explicit-request instruction. Version remains 0.0.30; DLL/ZIP omit all Second/Mythic source changes. Future agents must compile/test on explicit build request and validate multiplayer allied immunity and native assets in game.

Rogue Mythic Ultimate source update

• Tab 4, Level 90+: explicit Shadowblade -> NightReaper, Blademaster -> SwordSaint, Phantom -> VoidWalker validation; distinct class-owned Agility paths bypass Life. Existing persistent quest flag locks both tree-model and service purchases; learned ultimate automatically activates exclusive persistent HUD Slot 5 with configurable G default.
• ReapersHarvest (rogue_assassin.rank3.4): 120s default cooldown; fast attack_knives visual-model multi-target displacement, local darkness border particles and oversized black/crimson native blood-slash arcs at actual successful hit coordinates.
• Omnislash (rogue_duelist.rank3.4): 140s default cooldown; 3x dagger animation speed and rapid visual-model dashes, restored on cleanup; temporary per-instance mesh transparency uses existing camouflage restoration. Four intersecting native sword-trail copies plus dense silver sparks per successful strike approximate hundreds of cuts without unbounded object spawning.
• DimensionalRift (rogue_trickster.rank3.4): 150s default cooldown; staff_cast with inverted neon violet shaman particles, expanding native glowing rings at caster center and a local screen-space shard overlay. Void pull is a particle illusion; no gameplay banishment, enemy pulling, permanent invisibility or AI changes.
• Structural scope preserves original protected Nova damage, costs, target cap and stable IDs; players/allies/tamed entities unaffected. Teleports/dashes manipulate the visual model only, not player physics. Native effects remain optional and finite, with damage components stripped. Existing cooldown config overrides retained.
• CHANGELOG.md, README.md and summary.md updated immediately; delimiter/three-route/name source audit passed; lineage, cooldown, column, Level 89/90 and hit/screen route regression coverage prepared. Compilation/tests/package/release scripts not run per build-only-on-explicit-request instruction. Version remains 0.0.30 and DLL/ZIP omit Second/Mythic source edits. Future agents should compile/test on explicit build request, then validate asset availability, transparency, animations and screen coverage in game.

Hunter Mythic Ultimate source update

• Tab 4: explicit Pathfinder -> Windrunner, BeastLord -> PrimalKing, Sharpshooter -> Deadeye lineage validated. Three distinct class-owned Agility paths (PrimalKing Agility/Defense header) bypass Life. Hunter-only rank-3 Mythic availability and ultimate metadata now require Level 60 as explicitly requested; other families retain Level 90. Existing quest locks and permanent learned Slot 5/configurable G routing retained.
• GaleForce (hunter_ranger.rank3.4): 100s default cooldown, bow_fire; eye-origin native iron arrow and three green wind missile rays, local camera-border wind and moss-green impact bursts. Gameplay uses a bounded 10,000m piercing cast with three rays; solids/allies stop travel, hostile damage deduplicated. This approximates infinite range safely; native visual arrow lifetime remains six seconds.
• ApexStampede (hunter_beastmaster.rank3.4): 120s default cooldown, inquire; three giant translucent native lox-hit effects and three wolf-spawn echoes rushing forward in lanes. Spectral creatures are particle approximations, not spawned AI; existing protected Nova damage retained rather than damaging every entity.
• OneShotOneKill (hunter_marksman.rank3.4): 150s default cooldown, bow_fire with 1.2s default windup; single eye-origin native arrow with elongated sledge tunnel and large arrow-hit terminal boom. Bounded 10,000m ray pierces hostile targets, stops at solids/allies; no unconditional kill.
• IDs, costs and damage templates retained. Native VFX gameplay components stripped, bounded cleanup preserved, actual impact replicas emit only Impact layers. Existing cooldown/windup config overrides respected.
• CHANGELOG.md, README.md and summary.md updated immediately. Delimiter/three-route/name source audit passed; lineage, cooldown, column, Level 59/60 and route regression coverage prepared; no compilation, test, release/package execution. Version remains 0.0.30; DLL/ZIP omit all Second/Mythic source edits. Future agents must compile/test only when explicitly asked and verify native assets, level/quest gating and visuals in game.

Mage Mythic Ultimate source update

• Tab 4, level 90+: explicit Archmage -> Arcanist, Occultist -> AbyssLord, HighSorcerer -> AstralSage mappings validated; unique class-owned Intelligence paths bypass Life. Quest locks in TreeModel/SkillTreeService and persistent learned Slot 5/configurable G routing reused.
• ElementalCataclysm (mage_elementalist.rank3.4): 120s default cooldown, six-second staff_cast loop and targeted ground storm with scaled falling fire/frost particles plus four white-blue Eikthyr arcs. VFX-only retargeting; existing Nova damage executor preserved. Native particles approximate meteor/blizzard geometry; screen coverage needs runtime validation.
• VoidCollapse (mage_warlock.rank3.4): 100s default cooldown, staff_summon ground invocation, six-second enlarged black/purple native blob/poison vortex at crosshair ground target. Protected visible hostiles in existing configurable radius receive six one-second decay pulses splitting original damage; local-owner rigidbodies receive continuous horizontal inward force. Players, allies, tamed creatures and wall-obscured targets excluded. Remote-owner gravity remains incomplete and needs multiplayer implementation/verification; no unsafe ownership transfer.
• Supernova (mage_sorcerer.rank3.4): 140s default cooldown, staff_summon compression invocation and white-magenta native resurrection burst scaled 3x at caster root. Existing damage/target protections retained, no unconditional kill or health deletion. Explicit requested name Supernova takes precedence over earlier banned-name terminology.
• Stable IDs, level/quest/node prerequisites, costs, attack loadouts and other families unchanged; existing user cooldown config overrides remain respected. Native damage components stripped from effect replicas and finite cleanup retained.
• CHANGELOG.md/README.md/summary.md updated immediately. Delimiter, three-route/name and regression-link source audit passed; lineage/column/gate/cooldown/visual regression coverage prepared; no compilation/test/package/release execution per build-only-on-explicit-request instruction. Version remains 0.0.30; DLL/ZIP omit Second/Mythic Awake source changes. Future agents should compile/test on explicit build request and verify native visuals in game.

Warrior Mythic Ultimate source update

• Tab 4, level 90+: validated Warlord -> Immortal, Champion -> Conqueror, Guardian -> Aegis. Unique class-owned vertical Attack, Attack/Defense hybrid and Defense paths bypass Life. Logical IDs/prerequisites remain stable.
• GodSlayer (warrior_berserker.rank3.4): 120s default cooldown; hammer jump-slam model animation, huge crimson lox/Eikthyr eruptions only on successful hit coordinates, bounded local camera shake.
• WarlordsDomain (warrior_gladiator.rank3.4): 90s default cooldown; hammer slam, six stone boundaries/amber native particle pillars around casting center. Six-second arena captures up to eight initially visible protected hostiles; six owner-side pulses split existing total damage; only locally owned enemy rigidbodies are contained within the configured radius. Remote-owner containment needs multiplayer verification; no allied/player/tamed targets affected. Native rune/citadel geometry remains a particle approximation.
• Invincible (warrior_protector.rank3.4): 150s default cooldown; shield_fortify, 3x root-parented pulsing dome/spinning stone shards; six-second caster damage/push/stagger immunity via a finite StatusEffect. No permanent immunity/stat changes. Damage immunity uses existing SEMan incoming-hit pipeline; environmental/direct health loss needs in-game validation.
• Quest boolean IsUltimateQuestCompleted (existing persisted quest flag) is enforced in both tree model and service; learned ultimate automatically resolves to exclusive Slot 5, configurable G default unchanged. HUD slot remains visible while ultimate node rank persists; casting still checks quest/class/level. Existing user cooldown config overrides remain respected.
• Source edits only: version 0.0.30 unchanged; no compilation, package or release script run. DLL/ZIP remain older than all Second/Mythic Awake source edits. Native assets/animation appearance and multiplayer behavior require runtime verification. Regression coverage prepared for quest-model bypass, routes, cooldowns and parents; delimiter/three-route/name source audit passed. Future agents must compile/test only on explicit build request.

Paladin Second Awake source update

• Tab 3, level 60+: explicit Templar -> Crusader, Inquisitor -> Justicar, ClericKnight -> Saint mapping validated at registry initialization. Crusader/Saint use Defense paths; Justicar uses Intelligence/Defense presentation. All class-owned layouts bypass Life.
• Crusader: HolyBastion uses shield_fortify with root-parented, enlarged amber ShieldBraker/resurrection wall effects; ShieldOfLight uses mace secondary with a scaled gold Eikthyr wave launched from player root along player forward.
• Justicar: RighteousVerdict uses attack_sledge and white-gold burn/resurrection pillars only on actual successful hit coordinates; AuraOfCensure uses staff invocation with root-attached pulsing amber healing particles/sparks.
• Saint: DivineSanctuary channels staff_cast and follows the player with translucent native healing/star dome particles; Resurrection uses white resurrection shockwave and local camera flash particles, plus the existing caster-only native negative-status whitelist cleanse (Burning, Poison, Frost, Freezing, Tarred). No revive/healing/stat redesign.
• Stable IDs paladin_templar/paladin_inquisitor/paladin_clericknight.rank2.1/.2 preserved; base and First Awake IDs unchanged. Each branch exposes six learned attacks and exactly two distinct equipped attack slots. Sibling/ultimate skills rejected. Existing damage patterns, costs, cooldowns, progression and node gates preserved.
• Native geometry is a particle approximation; availability, animation and screen coverage require in-game validation. Native gameplay components stripped from replicas, lifetimes bounded.
• Regression coverage prepared (pool combinations, lineage, columns, parent/impact routing); delimiter, six-route/name and link source audit passed; compilation/tests not run because the user requires an explicit build request. Version remains 0.0.30; existing DLL/ZIP omit Second Awake source changes. No release/package scripts run. Future agents should compile and run skill-checks only when asked to build.

Rogue Second Awake source update

• Tab 3, level 60+: explicit Assassin -> Shadowblade, Duelist -> Blademaster, Trickster -> Phantom validation; distinct class-owned Agility paths with no Life column. Existing IDs, gates, damage, costs and cooldowns preserved.
• Shadowblade: UmbralDash uses fast dagger/model lunge and wide black wraith/poison smoke; Nightfall uses dagger execution and dark-purple blob particles only on successful contact coordinates.
• Blademaster: BladeDance loops sword spins with root-parented orbiting silver wind/sword trails; Flicker sequences three silver spark cuts at the forward strike vector.
• Phantom: Mirage side-steps the visual model and scatters three fading violet native particle silhouettes; MirrorShard emits a magenta native shaman-particle ring. These are cosmetic approximations, not real clone meshes, AI aggro decoys or gameplay displacement.
• Exact branch pools contain inherited base + First Awake + Second Awake attacks (six); two distinct attack slots enforced, sibling and ultimate attacks rejected.
• Native effects remain optional, bounded and stripped of native gameplay components. Asset/animation availability and appearance require in-game verification.
• Delimiter/three-route/name source audit passed; lineage, cooldown, column, Level 59/60 and route regression coverage prepared; compilation/tests not executed per user instruction to build only when asked. Version remains 0.0.30; DLL/ZIP omit Second Awake source updates. No release scripts run.

Hunter Second Awake Tab3 source update (0.0.30 unchanged)

• Source only per user instruction: no compilation, test execution, release/package scripts or version bump. Existing0.0.30 binaries/packages lack this source update; compilation/native visuals unverified until requested build/game check.
• Explicit validated ClassProgression.SecondHunterParents: Pathfinder←Ranger, BeastLord←Beastmaster, Sharpshooter←Marksman. Existing branch/rank configuration already matched these chains; startup verifies parent family/branch and consecutive rank. Later tiers remain Windrunner/PrimalKing/Deadeye.
• Tab3 paths: Pathfinder AGILITY Trail Oath → Hidden Fang → Ambush → Watchkeeper → HunterSense; BeastLord AGILITY/DEFENSE Alpha Oath → Dominion → AlphaCall → Wildrage → PrimalFury; Sharpshooter AGILITY Hawkeye → Longdraw → Snipe → Killshot → DeadEye. Attack/Agility presentation swaps, saved nodes/gates/passives and level60 requirements preserved, Life excluded.
• Ambush (hunter_ranger.rank2.1): dodge windup then attack_spear release; moss-green native stone fragments emitted on successful existing projectile raycast contact at exact hit.m_point.

HunterSense (hunter_ranger.rank2.2): crouch stance, thin bright-green native roar scan expanding at player root center, lifetime2seconds; no new detection gameplay.
• AlphaCall (hunter_beastmaster.rank2.1): inquire roar, massive spectral native lox-hit/stomp effect scaled3 lunges from player root along player forward at default18m/s, lifetime1.5seconds; particle spirit representation only, no creature-head mesh/actual summon. PrimalFury (hunter_beastmaster.rank2.2): attack_knives loop0.3s over2.4s; neon-green right and orange left native slash trails attached to weapon-hand bones via existing SetParent(false), lifetime2seconds.
• Snipe (hunter_marksman.rank2.1): bow_fire default0.85s draw windup (user timing overrides respected), native iron arrow at exact eye position/forward, default100m/s with compressed attached native wind tunnel, lifetime1.5seconds. DeadEye (hunter_marksman.rank2.2): bow_fire, native arrow-hit/spark sonic ring0.45m beyond right weapon-hand anchor, expanded with1second cleanup. Existing damage mechanics unchanged.

Later/sibling classes unaffected. Native cosmetic replicas strip damage/collision, existing live limits/cleanup retained. UI names and context updated immediately.
• Source audit passed for six stable rank2 IDs, requested names, explicit hierarchy links and balanced edited C# blocks. Regression checks prepared for all30 ordered attack pairs per lineage, role/level guards, promotion/sibling isolation, paths and routes; not executed. Next requested build must compile changed RangedShot callback and hierarchy validation.

Mage Second Awake Tab3 source update (0.0.30 unchanged)

• Source only per user request: no compilation, test execution, release/package scripts or version bump. Existing0.0.30 DLL/ZIP lack these changes; request a build for compilation verification and fresh binaries.
• Three independent INTELLIGENCE paths: Archmage Elemental Oath → Convergence → ElementalStorm → Aetherheart → AetherBeam; Occultist Void Oath → Eventide → VoidVortex → Pestilence → Malady; HighSorcerer Arcane Oath → Overcharge → ArcaneBarrage → Compression → Singularity. Logical Attack node IDs/gates and level60 unlocks retained; Attack/Intelligence presentation swaps only for these classes, Life excluded. Arcanist/AbyssLord/AstralSage unchanged.
• ElementalStorm (mage_elementalist.rank2.1):2.4s staff_cast channel,3s falling native burn/frost storm6m above crosshair-ground projection. AetherBeam (mage_elementalist.rank2.2):staff_cast, forward eye-attached native Eikthyr beam compressed0.4x across/16x length, lifetime2.5s, follows exact m_eye.position/forward. Cosmetic light only; original damage mechanic retained.
• VoidVortex (mage_warlock.rank2.1):staff_summon,3s black/purple native blob/poison spherical particles at crosshair ground, inward particle speed and rotation emulate gravity. No enemy pulling gameplay added. Malady (mage_warlock.rank2.2):staff_cast channel, expanded native poison and ethereal wind lines at player root center, lifetime2.5s. Existing gameplay damage unchanged.

• Cached requested native effects with safe fallbacks, instance-only presentation, stripped damage/collision replicas and live limits reused. UI names and future-agent context updated. Source audit verified six stable rank2 IDs, all requested names, balanced edited C# blocks and routing wiring. Regression checks prepared for all30 ordered pairs per class, slot/level restrictions, independent gates and six visual routes; intentionally not executed. Compilation and native visuals unverified until requested build/game check.

Warrior Second Awake Tab3 source update (0.0.30 unchanged)

• No compilation, package generation or version changes: user requests builds only explicitly. Existing0.0.30 DLL/ZIP do NOT include this source update. Compilation and in-game visuals remain unverified; request a build to validate.

• Six stable rank2 IDs retain existing registry damage, cooldowns, costs and mechanics. BloodTorrent uses attack_swords_secondary looping every0.3s over2.4s, enlarged crimson native slash/body/right-left trails. Decapitate uses attack_sledge plus cosmetic model jump and dark-red expanded native impact only on successful existing hostile hits; target collider contact hit.m_point is carried by existing impact RPC, no whiff burst/new damage pulses.
• GladiatorsFocus uses shield_down and flashing amber native club/spark aura attached via existing SetParent(player.transform,false). ColiseumSlam uses attack_mace_secondary with centered expanded stone+sledge amber rings; dedicated Center anchor avoids forward impact placement.
• Phalanx uses shield_fortify and three translucent stone clusters parented to player root, tight perimeter at±0.65m lateral,0.8m up,1.1m forward with±20degree facing; movement follows root. Unbreakable uses inquire stomp/roar and centered expanded stone/rune+shield dome; a finite3s owner-side StatusEffect reduces incoming push force80%, no damage reduction/permanent stats.
• Warlord/Champion/Guardian backend equip, available pool and config resolution accept exactly their six inherited+Second Awake attacks; two slots, distinct swaps and mandatory attack occupancy remain authoritative. Mythic IDs/other branches rejected even with forged rank. Immortal/Conqueror/Aegis pools unchanged.
• Native effects have requested prefab names plus cached native fallbacks; instance-only tint/scale, safe cosmetic replicas and live limits/cleanup reused. UI names and handoff context updated. Source audit verified six stable rank2 IDs, all requested names, balanced edited C# blocks and wiring. Regression checks added for all30 ordered pairs per class, role/level gates and independent routes; intentionally not run because builds require explicit request. Next requested build must compile GuardianUnbreakableEffect and changed animation tuple.

Mouse binding correction — 0.0.30

• Skill2 now defaults to physical Mouse5 (Unity Mouse4); Skill4 uses Blocking+Mouse5. Skill1/3 use Mouse4/Blocking+Mouse4 (Unity Mouse3) to keep controls distinct.
• Startup migrates unmodified legacy Skill2 Mouse2/middle-button or Mouse3 bindings to Mouse4, moving a conflicting legacy Skill1 Mouse4 binding to Mouse3. Other customized bindings remain untouched. Shared routing already handles blocking exclusively; HUD labels reflect effective shortcuts.

Unreleased — Rogue base skill presentation

• Eviscerate (20%): attack_knives and green-tinted vfx_burl_hit (native spark fallback), emitted at actual melee hit coordinates rather than on whiffs.
• Assassinate (60%): native dagger-leap animation with a short target-tracked visual arc; native blood/slash overlays emitted at hit coordinates.
• Vanish: evasion stance and dense dark-tinted poison/blob cloud at execution coordinates. This structural overlay does not change enemy AI tracking or existing damage reduction.
• Shadowstep: fast horizontal run-animation presentation with continuous dark wind lines at both screen borders for 0.35 seconds; existing displacement is preserved.

• Consecration (60%): attack_sledge with vfx_player_resurrect (fallback: light-tinted vfx_aoe_burn) plus vfx_sledge_hit at the execution center. Tinting modifies instances only.
• Sanctuary: guardian stance with exact vfx_player_heal, structurally attached using SetParent(player.transform, false) through the attachment helper.
• Crusade: linearly accelerating run-animation presentation and holy footprint sparks along the existing dash path for 0.35 seconds. Authoritative movement remains unchanged; sparks and animation overrides clean up on expiration/interruption.
• Updated Paladin display names across the UI, status effects and cast messages; retained saved IDs, gameplay values, costs, cooldowns and version 0.0.29. No release scripts run. Native asset playback requires in-game verification.

• Warrior HUD, tree details, compendium and cast messages show thematic names. Saved IDs and configuration keys remain stable.
• Changes apply only to Warrior base skills. Version remains 0.0.29; no package/release scripts run. Native prefab availability and visual appearance require in-game verification.

[0.0.29]

• Fixed VFX cache readiness independent of ObjectDB, accepted safe Aoe visuals, and added exact requested Base-class prefab lookups with missing-name errors.
• Added explicit particle activation/emission startup, native owner-only world-effect spawning and marked remote-replica particle startup.
• Added lifetime cleanup using ZNetScene destruction for networked effects and delayed Unity destruction for local effects.
• Reduced active runtime JPEG quality to 55 at 128px; replaced high-resolution source masters with compact 512px JPEGs and removed redundant artwork exports, previews and historical staging folders.
• Existing gameplay damage remains unchanged. In-game VFX appearance and multiplayer validation remain pending.

[0.0.28]

• Added explicit animation and native VFX routes for all 20 Base-class active skills across Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Rogue and Paladin, independent of equipped hotkey slot.
• Added validated native animation fallbacks, crouch/run presentation, forward cosmetic projectile speeds, player-parented defensive effects and teleport start/destination effects.
• Added unique progression paths for 45 advanced classes and safe MMO HUD hiding/restoration while skill or altar UI is open.
• Preserved existing gameplay damage and effects; native prefab appearance, animation playback and multiplayer synchronization require in-game verification.
• Release compilation and 27,209 regression checks passed.

[0.0.27]

• Replace vertical tree scrolling with four class-tier tabs; future tiers show ?, are non-interactable, and only the selected tier is instantiated. Base displays five columns; awakened tabs hide Life and recenter the remaining columns.
• Render column-local tier paths and class-chain tab names. Cross-tab prerequisites remain in the model/tooltips rather than drawing across hidden tiers.
• Map animation defaults by role/mechanic via new Skill Animation Profiles v2 settings; preserve explicit trigger overrides.
• Parent defense cosmetics at the caster root with local particle simulation. Prepare safe local templates after registry initialization and replay them per validated presentation RPC.
• Launch ranged cosmetics from eye-height/look-direction snapshots with configurable VisualProjectileSpeed (default 30 m/s); disable gravity and set explicit Rigidbody velocity where present. Existing owner-only gameplay handles damage.
• Resolve melee effect positions at impact instead of using stale release offsets. Reuse steady-state queue/sweep buffers and remove per-message invocation-list allocations.
• Version metadata updated to 0.0.27. Runtime animations and multiplayer visual alignment remain pending in-game verification.

[0.0.26]

• Generate exactly four Base active nodes for every family: two distinct Attack nodes, one Defense node and one Utility/Movement node in Agility.
• Validate registry-to-tree bindings at startup: each exposed skill owns a distinct single-purchase node in the matching role/tier column.
• Preserve awakening predecessor links instead of overwriting them during passive-route generation. First Awake renders two separate nodes below Base; subsequent tiers use fixed 220-pixel offsets.
• Label active nodes with skill names and Learned/point cost. Reserve rank fractions for passives and give legacy Greater/Charged base skills distinct behavior names without changing persisted skill IDs.
• Scroll the newly revealed awakening tier into view; enlarge Base to 720 pixels to fit skill labels without clipping.
• Schema 4 migration validates schema 3 against its original graph, refunds misplaced/now-orphaned nodes and retains valid passive/active investments, earned points and ultimate quest state.

[0.0.25]

• Validate each base family as exactly two distinct typed attacks, one defense and one utility; each awakening archetype adds 2 first attacks, 2 second attacks and one quest-gated long-cooldown ultimate. Catalog mutation is rejected after validation.
• Cache tier-filtered pools (2/4/6 attacks). Central CanEquipSkill validation and config resolution restrict Slots 1-2 to attacks, Slot 3 to defense, Slot 4 to utility and Slot 5 to the ultimate.
• Automatically fill two distinct learned attack choices, repair invalid cross-role configs on resolution and reject attack-slot clearing; preserve same-role swaps and transactional saves. Unlearned attacks remain unavailable.
• Calculate base attack progression against the base passive budget: 20%/60%, excluding active purchases and awakening nodes. Already learned nodes remain preserved.
• Show the fifth HUD slot only after Mythic rank, level 90, quest completion and learning the ultimate. UI indicates role-specific slot actions.
• Paladin base Radiant Burst uses Fire instead of Spirit to match the specified base Physical/Fire/Frost/Lightning damage set; identifiers and investments are preserved.

[0.0.24]

• Rebuild the instantiated graph after the Class mod successful-awakening callback, altar opening and Skills menu opening.
• Force fresh class/MMO state before reconstruction; destroy and deactivate obsolete graph generations, clear view caches and grow the ScrollRect for the current tier.
• Filter nodes before instantiation using class visibility, current awakening rank and MMO level gates. Preserve graph-independent slot controls and background.
• Rendering and Unity object creation allocate at rebuild time; no additional per-frame reflection lookup or rebuild polling is introduced.

[0.0.23]

• Double-click node purchases through existing authoritative validation.
• Life paths use evenly spaced independent lanes without combat gaps.
• Standard slots support persistent clearing and automatic duplicate swaps; grouped config saves restore previous choices on failure.
• Retains cached blur, dark veil, transparent panels and Clear Focus removal.

[0.0.22]

• Softened the main HECS background using one-time bilinear GPU downsample/upsample, cached as a compact sprite. Temporary render textures are released immediately; no blur operation runs in Update.
• Added a separate full-screen Image with black tint alpha 0.75, followed by the existing vignette. Its CanvasGroup cannot intercept interaction or dim foreground nodes.
• Removed the filled/riveted banner graphics from the description and loadout containers. Slot buttons retain transparent pointer hit areas, labels, icons and individual icon frames.
• Removed Clear Focus creation and its click closure from the UI controller. No lingering button field or listener remains.

[0.0.21]

• Rebuilt the tree Canvas as a clipped progression viewport with attribute columns and lazily instantiated Base, First Awake, Second Awake and Mythic sections.
• Base is the only initial section. Newly available tiers append below it with a 0.4-second unscaled fade; level/rank loss hides later sections and clamps scroll bounds.
• Kept all nodes and curved routes within their own 350-pixel attribute columns. Alternate prerequisites meet at compact junctions; long awakening wires use a vertical margin rail instead of diagonal crossings through sockets.
• Added a fixed five-slot equipping panel above the description. Learned non-ultimate actives can be assigned to any standard slot; the dedicated ultimate slot requires Mythic and quest completion.
• Added 40% opacity reduction for unselected columns while inspecting a node, with Clear focus to restore the full map.
• Cached node/path/skill lookups and stopped rebuilding Bezier meshes when their state is unchanged. Full-panel loadout rendering resolves all standard slots in one registry pass.
• Preserved ledger schema 3, point investments and all gameplay prerequisites. No additional save migration is required.

[0.0.20]

• Replaced fixed slot ownership with explicit awakening tiers, skill roles, damage channels, a validated skill registry and a two-attack loadout resolver.
• Registered 95 executable skills: 20 base skills plus two First Awake attacks, two Second Awake attacks and one Mythic ultimate for every HECS specialization branch.
• Changed controls to physical Mouse 5, Mouse 4, their blocking combinations, and a dedicated configurable G ultimate binding.
• Added level/rank gates at 20/1, 60/2 and 90/3, dynamic tree expansion nodes, 20%/60% base attack gates and a persistent quest-gated fifth slot.
• Added tree controls for assigning learned attacks to slots 1 and 2. The five-slot HUD resolves assignments dynamically and keeps per-skill cooldown overlays.
• Added one owner-authoritative passive damage dispatcher with Hunter repeat/ethereal-arrow procs and Warrior/Paladin damage reflection examples.
• Generalized windup, native animation and composite VFX presentation to every registered tiered skill.
• Migrated character ledgers to schema 3; valid schema-2 investments refund once because active-slot meanings and progression gates changed.

[0.0.19]

• Rebuilt the full-screen skill Canvas around a 1920 x 1080 responsive design grid with wider spacing between Life, Attack, Defense, Agility and Intelligence.
• Replaced uniform star treatment with small diamond stat sockets, octagonal shield milestones and large ornate iron/gold active-skill frames.
• Replaced rigid line segments with sampled cubic Bezier prerequisite paths. Locked paths recede in charcoal, available paths use copper and learned paths glow in each branch's elemental color.
• Added a procedural radial vignette over the HECS rocky background, smooth learnable-node hover pulses and a centered dark-iron description banner with explicit text margins.
• Added a matching offline UI preview and a complete Canvas/layout specification. Tree topology, costs, bonuses and progression behavior remain unchanged.

[0.0.18]

• Removed the nearby-enemy requirement from melee active skills. Casts commit in an empty area and resolve any available area targets only at the animation release frame.
• Rebuilt vanilla VFX caching behind Harmony postfixes on ObjectDB.Awake and ZNetScene.Awake, retaining Jotunn's prefab-available event and hot-reload fallback.
• Replaced EffectList spawning with direct Object.Instantiate from the post-init cache. Registered networked effect prefabs spawn once on the casting owner with their active ZNetView; visual-only effects remain RPC-local on each peer.
• Added a one-update local Animator trigger hold after the replicated ZSyncAnimation.SetTrigger call so vanilla Player.Update cannot erase the requested swing/cast before evaluation.
• Added exact candidates for Eikthyr shockwave, burning AOE and staff fireball assets. Gameplay-bearing projectile/AOE prefabs are never used as cosmetic recipe layers.

[0.0.17]

• Added configurable skill windups that lock movement/actions and upper-body aiming, trigger the native replicated animation, then release prepared gameplay and VFX together.
• Added explicit installed animation-trigger overrides plus a guarded local Animator.CrossFade template for RPC-driven state overrides.
• Added optional harrisonepicskillsystem_assets loading, Jotunn custom-prefab registration, hand/weapon/ground anchors and per-instance auto-destruction.
• Added an owner-validated player ZNetView RPC with ZDO last-state markers, monotonic deduplication, transform validation and rate limiting so remote clients see windup/release VFX.
• Custom RPC-spawned prefabs reject ZNetView, colliders and rigidbodies; damage and resource authority never enter the presentation channel.

[0.0.16]

• Replaced generated cast geometry with a native Valheim presentation engine: successful skills reuse attack triggers harvested from installed polearms, spears, bows, staves and melee weapons through ZSyncAnimation.
• Added per-skill animation profile overrides in the generated config while resolving the actual trigger from ObjectDB, avoiding brittle hard-coded animator fields and custom skeletal clips.
• Added cached composite VFX recipes using visual-only ZNetScene prefabs for staff channeling, fire impacts/trails, Eikthyr lightning, Elder roots, Bonemass poison/smoke and ward layers.
• Registry scans occur only when Jotunn announces vanilla prefabs are available. Cast frames use bounded dictionary/list operations, reject networked prefabs and clean up spawned effects deterministically.

[0.0.15]

• Base-to-awakening and upward promotions in the same HECS class chain retain all base-tree investments, learned active nodes and earned-point/level history.
• Sibling-branch changes, family changes, downgrades and unknown class transitions still refund investments. Existing schema-2 saves need no migration.
• Added continuation design definitions for 180 awakening actives and 45 conditional passives on the same base tree, with verified same-main-branch prerequisite chains. These future nodes and handlers are not playable yet.
• Kept the compact runtime icon exports from 0.0.14.

[0.0.14]

• Reduced all 200 active runtime icons from 256 x 256 PNG to 128 x 128 JPEG at quality 70; all unique skill artwork remains available.
• Reduced eleven menu/fallback sprites to 128 x 128 PNG, preserving alpha support and their resource names.
• Embedded only compact exports. Original generated masters and 256-pixel source icons remain outside the gameplay package.
• Added a repeatable runtime export tool that always derives JPEGs from original masters, avoiding repeated lossy compression.
• Validated all compact icon dimensions, unique hashes and stable IDs; reviewed the refreshed base-skill preview.

[0.0.13]

• Added distinct original icons for all 200 cataloged active skills: twenty playable base abilities and 180 awakening designs.
• Base-skill HUD and tree icons now resolve by stable skill ID, with separate artwork for advanced variants.
• Embedded 256 x 256 runtime sprites; retained full-resolution masters separately with prompts, hashes and five family preview sheets.
• Awakening gameplay and inherited loadout selection remain design work; artwork does not add their handlers.

[0.0.12]

• Removed path-name labels and TOTAL BONUSES from the tree; centered selected-node details.
• Added native Compendium entry Harrison Skill Effects with all twenty tree bonuses and learned active descriptions, hotkeys, discounted costs, cooldowns and enabled status.
• Fixed corrupted advanced-skill captions using plain ASCII separators.
• Removed generic foundation lanes from the actual graph and rewired unlocks to named paths. Same-main-branch merges only; Life stays independent.
• Schema-1 migration validates old saves and refunds old investments once, retaining earned points and level high-water marks. Current schema-2 saves retain investments normally.
• Clean build, 4,287 checks passed, installed Compendium method signatures inspected and offline layout reviewed. In-game verification pending.

[0.0.11]

• Full-screen responsive skill screen; five branches and fourteen specialization paths visible simultaneously, without branch tabs.
• Actual fork/merge prerequisites: any one combat/intelligence specialization mastery or the existing foundation route can reach branch Mastery. Its 25-point gate remains. Final foundation star also accepts this Mastery route. Life specializations never converge.
• Preserves schema-1 saves, existing investments, stats and point costs. Draws every actual incoming route, with routed advanced skill connections, clear node details, HECS controls and X close button.
• Validation: clean native Release build, 1,346 focused checks and verified packaged DLL/version/assets. Offline geometry preview reviewed; live gameplay/UI verification remains pending.

Changelog

0.0.10

• Added Intelligence as a fifth main branch with ten foundation stars and two passive milestones.
• Added Eitr Capacity, Arcane Power, Eitr Regeneration and Eitr Efficiency paths; fourteen specializations are now available.
• Wired Intelligence into player magic hit damage, maximum eitr, regeneration, native attack eitr costs and active-skill costs/readiness displays.
• Reflowed the overview into five spokes and adjusted tab spacing to fit Intelligence beside the existing branches.
• Preserved prior node IDs, ranks, active-skill unlocks and point history.
• Verified 1,023 automated checks, including magic skill-tag routing and exactly-once active eitr discounts. Live UI and native magic combat still require Valheim testing.

0.0.9

• Added ten independent specialization paths, each with five ranked stars and a path-gated mastery.
• Added Life Carry Weight, Wood Yield, Ore Yield and Harvest Yield paths; added two paths each to Attack, Defense and Agility.
• Added branch tabs with foundation columns, parallel path lanes and specialization investment details.
• Added eligible native gathering quantity bonuses with fractional rounding and scoped owner-side RPC hooks, including replicated yields for remote resource owners and dedicated servers.
• Preserved old node IDs, saved ranks, MMO-level point history and class/refund behaviour.
• Verified 698 automated checks; native UI, gathering and multiplayer behaviour require in-game validation.

0.0.8

• Matched Spend point, Refund all points and close controls to the exact HECS bronze/stone button artwork and hover/press/disabled colours.

• Moved the close control to the top-right corner and changed its label to X; reserved header space beside it.

0.0.7

• Removed all filled node plates; stars use transparent clickable hitboxes and hollow selection rings.
• Redesigned the tree into four diagonal constellations with more separation between stat stars and skill/passive milestones.
• Replaced stat symbols with crisp four-point stars and shaded tips; hovered symbols brighten without introducing backgrounds.
• Trimmed thinner connections around each symbol, coloured available nodes by branch and retained gold invested paths.
• Added a central class emblem/label, separated the detail area and hid zero-rank captions to reduce clutter.
• Kept the original Class Altar background and all progression, persistence, HUD and skill rules.

0.0.6

• Reused the exact HarrisonEpicClassSystem Class Altar background: dark stone, misty side scenery and a bronze Norse frame.

• Retained the four-slot HUD, skill icons, local cast effects and existing progression/input rules.

0.0.5

• Added a golden constellation logo to the MMO Skills navigation entry.
• Added ten class-coloured skill archetype icons, embedded in the DLL, used by active tree nodes and HUD slots; advanced variants show II.

• Added SKILL_VISUALS.md with configuration, artwork mapping and in-game verification requirements.

0.0.4

• Added a connected constellation skill tree with Life, Attack, Defense and Agility branches.
