Caro's Skill Point Saver Updated less than 3 days ago!

Version: 1.4.4

by: Irniben [More]

Open the UI with /csps or specify a keybind.

Main features:
- Save your build for after update 29 or for character respeccing
- Import/export your build data
- Create and manage profiles for the new champion system 2.0
-- Profiles can be saved for the whole account or for the current character

- NEW FEATURE: text-based import for the new champion system (see below)

The coming update 29 will reset skills and championpoints. This addon is intended to save your skills and CPs before the upcoming update and, afterwards, put them back the way they were (giving you the option to edit them first). You can also use this addon to create profiles for respeccing your character or import/export builds.

Saving data:
1. Click on 'Read current data'.
2. Optionally, click on the plus/minus next to your skills to add/remove a skill point. (You will be able to edit your skills later, too.)
3. Click on 'Save shown data'. All skills, attributes and CP are saved.

Loading saved data (see below for respeccing):
1. Click on 'Load saved data'.
2. At the top, select which data you want to apply (skills, attributes, CP).
3. Optionally, click on the plus/minus next to your skills to add/remove a skill point.
4. Click on 'Apply loaded data'. Your selected data is applied.
5. Click on the options button (topright corner) to toggle the hotbar. The hotbar skills have to be applied separately.

Create profiles for respecing:
You may use the plus and minus right of the profile dropdown box to create/delete new profiles. If you want to use this for respeccing you can delete all skills from the build that shall not be changed - this saves storage space and makes the profile more clear to read. Just go to the shrine and get into morph respec mode to apply the profile - you don't need to reset all your skills to do that.

Import/export data:
1. Click on the options button to open the import/export section.
2. Select the platform (for now, eso-skillfactory.com only)
3. Generate a link from your current displayed build and copy it to your browser (ctrl+c).
4. Insert a link from your browser (ctrl+v) and import it as your new build.
5. You will be able to edit the build between importing and applying it.

The "old" CPs are saved and still shown after update 29, but won't be applied for they can't be transferred to the new system. But there is a new easy way to set your CP:

Champion point import (text based):
-- If you find a useful cp setup in a guide etc. you can now easily import it into the game
-- No need to manually enter your champion points - just copy them into the addon
-- As long as there is a number followed by the English name of a champion skill, the addon will automatically import the champion point distribution you copied
-- To reduce the possibility of mistakes the three champion disciplines have to be imported separately

Planned for the future:
- import/export for more platforms
- integration of the champion point hotbar profiles with dressingroom / alphagear sets

Attention for update 29: Please test on a twink first after the update, as I can't guarantee that the changes from Update 29 won't effect the addon's funcionality (though I test everything on the pts of course).

Current languages: English, German (if you would like to translate to other languages, contact me)

Many thanks to Baertram for his invaluable help!
Many thanks to Keldor for allowing me to use his mappings for eso-skillfactory and for his great work with that website.

Thank you for your comment.

I don't know which server you're playing on. Because you said "same character" I asume EU which is mirrored right now. In that case you can just copy the sv and change the first entry from "EU Megaserver" to "PTS". Otherwise your way should work just fine.

Oh, what the... They changed the order of the skills in that skill line. Pretty sure that wasn't the case before the newest patch - but nothing in the natch potes - thank you for telling me, would have been a pain if I didn't notice that before it went live. I'll have to include that in the update migration routine. Will try to do that today or tomorrow.

That's a great idea - I will definitely include that. Thanks!

Yeah, that is indeed a problem for many addons. But I don't think I can avoid that if I don't want to anchor the addon to a specific UI scene. What you can do is just open the skill window or any other UI element in the background - so the cursor will stay active while you're in the addon.

Thanks for the feedback! That's kind of what I'm planning. I'm also thinking about another way to save the presets. For example, if you have skill A, skill B, skill C, the preset could have a save data like "A: 50; B: 50; C: 40" - but if you only have 100 points to spend, you completely miss out on skill C. So I'm thinking about saving something like "A: 20; B: 20; C: 10; A: 40; B: 40; C: 30; A: 50; B: 50; C 50", so the addon would only try to allocate higher numbers into skills once it made sure there are enough to spend for the other skills. But of course that is still a work in progress and not yet finished. But that is only an idea for the future, at first I will propably use the typical stepwise setups you mentioned.

I was using ChampionpointsSlots until now, but this looks really promising. Since that one is not developed anymore, it wont be adopted for CP 2.0 so I will most likely swap when it hits live.

Irniben Forum posts: 0 File comments: 14 Uploads: 2	What Orejana said ;-) But you're right, it is not at the most central point in the description right now. Once update 29 is done and the use of this addon will shift more to respeccing, I will definitely change that. For now I think the part about saving your skills for after the update is the most important thing. Just to let you know, at the moment I'm working on the integration of the new champion system and I'm quite happy about how this turns out. After the update addons won't need the old buggy way to set cps for you, where you would have to confirm them manually - it's all more straight forward now. So far I included the cp in the treeview I already have, sorting the skills by the number of skills you need to unlock first. You will be able to move your mouse over a skill to see the skills it's connected. You can either save the cp together with the other build data like before the update or use separate champion point profiles. Because that's something I was always missing in the other cp profile addons, I categorized those profiles: you can save custom profiles for a specific char (like blue cps for a healer that's also a dd) or for the whole account (red cps in trials). And I'm also planning to include built-in presets in the future, but still have to figure out, how to compensate for the big cp-gap we will have between players after the update. Still a lot of work to do, but I just wanted to share the progress.

I was referring to this section: (right below your quote)

Create profiles for respecing:
You may use the plus and minus right of the profile dropdown box to create/delete new profiles. If you want to use this for respeccing you can delete all skills from the build that shall not be changed - this saves storage space and makes the profile more clear to read. Just go to the shrine and get into morph respec mode to apply the profile - you don't need to reset all your skills to do that.

Just that I cant find it after looking for it again, should be a sign that its not idiot proof

Or are we talking about the description INSIDE the addon? I didnt look at that yet.

when I wonder how to load saved skills:

Loading saved data:
1. Click on 'Load saved data'.
2. At the top, select which data you want to apply (skills, attributes, CP).
3. Optionally, click on the plus/minus next to your skills to add/remove a skill point.
4. Click on 'Apply loaded data'. Your selected data is applied.
5. Click on the options button (topright corner) to toggle the hotbar. The hotbar skills have to be applied separately.

It doesn't mention anything about the the shrine, or unmorphing.
Just that I cant find it after looking for it again, should be a sign that its not idiot proof

Or are we talking about the description INSIDE the addon? I didnt look at that yet.

This is stated in the description. If you only want to change morphs: You don't need to remove your morphs, you can simply go to the shrine, enter morph respecc mode and then apply your profile. The addon will remove and set the morphs as needed.

I love the idea, but the reason I hardly ever used it when it worked (maybe it still does) with Superstar is that it needed me to fully respecc and took time :-/

So looks like I'll go and try this

Yes, when you try to apply it tells you the number of conflicts and specifies where these conflicts are. Same for attributes and CP.
