Configure Dime Skills

Ensure the Skill Tree DLC integration is enabled in dime_skills/shared/config.lua:

-- Add this section if not present
SkillTree = {
    enabled = true,              -- Enable skill tree DLC integration
    pointsPerLevel = 1,          -- Skill points granted per skill level
    excludedSkills = {},         -- Skills that don't contribute points
},

Import Database

Run the SQL file to create the skill tree tables:

# In your database management tool
SOURCE dime_skilltree/db.sql

Or manually execute:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `player_skilltree` (
  `id` INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  `citizenID` VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
  `unlocked_nodes` LONGTEXT DEFAULT '[]',
  `created_at` TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `updated_at` TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  UNIQUE KEY `unique_citizen` (`citizenID`),
  INDEX `idx_citizenid` (`citizenID`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Add to Server Config

Add both resources to your server.cfg, ensuring correct load order:

# Dime Skills must load before Skill Tree
ensure dime_skills
ensure dime_skilltree
