ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi. I've never done... anything code-related before, but the tome wiki made it look fairly simple, and I think this would only require one or two lines.
I have a build or two I want to try focussing on exotic weapons. THis would be fairly simple for an adventurer, but it means I have to get lucky and get a warrior escort in the first few dungeons. I was wondering if I could set Exotic Weapons Mastery to be purchaseable like a normal talent. Does anyone know how that would be done? I asked a friend who kinda knows code, but he isn't sure how that talent is set to work.

The talent is part of the basic combat training tree, but set to be hidden by default. Warrior escorts make it appear, so in theory, you could (at the least) make a shop that sold exotic weapon training.

Unhiding the skill would also be doable, by directly editing the tree, so it's always visible.

Forcing it to only do so for adventurer would be a little more complex.

If you go with the second route, it would be as simple as overloading one file (data/talents/combat-training.lua, or whatever it's called) and changing a single line or two.

If you use Nulltweaks, then you'll get Exotic weapons split out into two talents (and grouped with other weapons). These two talents are NOT hidden.

If you want to make an addon which just exposes Exotic Weapons Mastery, all you have to do is set "hide=false" for that talent in the appropriate superload area.

I would recommend against overloading unless this addon is for your own personal use only
