Module:GameSkills

Module:GameSkills

Module:GameSkills renders skill data from Data:skills.json into a reusable infobox-style table.

It is intended to be used via a template (for example Template:Skill) so that skills can be embedded on any page without creating individual skill pages.

This module:

• Loads data via Module:GameData → GameData.loadSkills().
• Looks up skills primarily by display "Name" (what editors use), with "Internal Name" as a fallback.
• Builds a table with only the fields that actually exist for that skill.

---

Data source

Skill data comes from Data:skills.json, which is a JSON page with this top-level structure (see Module:GameData/doc for full details):

{
  "version": "SpiritVale-0.8.2",
  "schema_version": 1,
  "generated_at": "2025-12-12T17:24:05.807675+00:00",
  "records": [
    {
      "Name": "Some Skill",
      "Internal Name": "SomeSkillInternalId",
      "...": "other fields specific to skills"
    }
  ]
}

Each record is a single skill. Important keys:

• "Name" – the display name (what players and editors will usually see and use).
• "Internal Name" – the stable ID used internally and available as an optional parameter for power users and tooling.

---

Output

For a given skill, the module renders a table with the CSS class spiritvale-skill-infobox.

Depending on what exists in the JSON record, the table may include:

• Header row with skill name (and icon, if present).
• Icon (from "Icon", as a file name like skill-example.webp).
• Description.
• Type information:
  • Damage Type
  • Element Type
  • Target Type
  • Cast Type
• Max Level.
• Users:
  • Classes
  • Summons
  • Monsters
  • Events
• Requirements:
  • Required Skills (with required level)
  • Required Weapons
  • Required Stances
• Mechanics:
  • Range
  • Cast Time / Cooldown / Duration
  • Mana Cost
• Damage and scaling:
  • Main Damage (base and per-level, where present)
  • Scaling (stat-based contributions)
• Status interactions:
  • Status Applications (status name, scope, basic duration/chance info)

Rows are only shown if the underlying field exists in the JSON for that skill.

---

Public interface

The module exposes a single entry point for templates:

GameSkills.infobox(frame)

This is usually called via #invoke from a template, not directly from pages.

It accepts the following parameters (either passed directly or via a wrapper template):

• 1 – unnamed parameter; treated as the skill "Name".
• name – explicit display "Name" of the skill (equivalent to 1).
• id – "Internal Name" of the skill (optional fallback / power use).

Lookup order:

1. If name or the first unnamed parameter is provided and matches a record’s "Name", that record is used.
2. Otherwise, if id is provided and matches an "Internal Name", that record is used.
3. If nothing is found, a small error message is returned and the page is categorized for tracking.

Example direct usage (not recommended; normally use a template):

No skills found for: GameSkills

or:

No skills found for: GameSkills

---

Template:Skill

The recommended way to use this module is via a small wrapper template, for example:

Template:Skill

 No skills found for: GameSkills

Typical usage on any page:

Bash
Delivers a crushing blow with a chance to stun the target.
Level Select Level 10 / 10 Type Melee Element Neutral Target Enemy Cast Type Target
Classes	Warrior, Weaver
Monsters	Ashrend, Goblin King
Required Skills	Axe Mastery (Lv.1)
Resource Cost	MP: 13
Combo	Type: Ready, Duration: 4s
Main Damage	350% Attack
Scaling	2% Attack Per Strength
Flags	Special: Self Centered
Applies	Target – Stun (Duration: 3s, Chance: 30%)

or, explicitly:

Bash
Delivers a crushing blow with a chance to stun the target.
Level Select Level 10 / 10 Type Melee Element Neutral Target Enemy Cast Type Target
Classes	Warrior, Weaver
Monsters	Ashrend, Goblin King
Required Skills	Axe Mastery (Lv.1)
Resource Cost	MP: 13
Combo	Type: Ready, Duration: 4s
Main Damage	350% Attack
Scaling	2% Attack Per Strength
Flags	Special: Self Centered
Applies	Target – Stun (Duration: 3s, Chance: 30%)

Internal IDs can still be used when needed:

Unknown Skill: Bash_InternalId

This keeps page wikitext simple while centralizing all JSON loading and formatting logic inside Lua.

--Module: GameSkills
--
--Upgrades:
--  - Adds a per - skill Level Select slider(client - side JS updates fields)
--  - Default level = Max Level
--  - Adds.sv - skill - card + data - max - level / data - level hooks for JS
--  - Replaces large Lv1 / Lv2 /... lists with data - series dynamic spans
--  - Removes "General" + "Type" section bars and merges Level Select + Type into one unified top band
--(Level Select on the left; Type / Element / Target / Cast Type list on the right)
--  - NEW(list - mode): Wraps all skills in ONE wrapper panel and each skill in a stable.sv - skill - item
--so CSS dividers work reliably under Citizen / table wrappers.
--
--Requires the JS you installed in MediaWiki: Common.js.
--Uses Common.css classes:
--   .sv - topband - cell, .sv - topband - table, .sv - type - table, .sv - level - ui, .sv - level - title, .sv - level - label, .sv - level - slider
--   .sv - skill - collection, .sv - skill - item
