Description
Detailed Skill Tooltips (Build 42.x)
Thanks to Champy for the Original Idea - Descriptive Tooltips for Skill Levels

Crystal-clear, data-rich skill tooltips for Project Zomboid. See exactly what each level does — no guessing, no tabbing out.


What it does
  • Data-rich tooltips for every supported skill: shows real numbers (%, caps, multipliers) per level (1–10).
  • Auto-learn & unlock lists: optional lists of recipes/buildables you gain as you level.
  • Consistent formatting: uniform headers, spacing, and line wording across all skills.
  • Per-skill logic: shows only values that actually change; hides irrelevant/zero lines.
  • Configurable: toggle recipe/buildable sections and other extras in Mod Options.
  • Extensible API: other mods can add/override skill definitions without forking this mod.


Mod Support and Twitch
Any questions you can find me in any of the places below:

Twitch[twitch.tv]
Discord[discord.gg]


Features in detail
  • Per-level values: attack/block bonuses, carry capacity, endurance/fatigue multipliers, stealth radius, climb bonuses, etc. (varies by skill).
  • Recipe/buildable intel: optional sections for Auto-learned and Requires Skill items, pulled from the game’s recipe data.
  • Localized text: uses standard IGUI_ translation tables; falls back to English if a key is missing.
  • Performance-friendly: caches lookups; no heavy polling or OnTick spam.


Mod Options
Options -> Detailed Skill Tooltips
  • Show Auto-learn Recipes — toggle the “auto-learned” list (on hover).
  • Show Craftable Recipes — toggle the "craftable recipes” for required level list (on hover).
  • Show Buildable Recipes — toggle the “buildable recipes” for required level list (on hover).
  • TBD - List length — limit or uncap list length for long crafts/buildables.
  • More presentation toggles will be added over time.


Compatibility
  • Build: 42.x
  • UI mods: Generally compatible. Mods replacing vanilla skill tooltip code may need load-order tweaks.
  • Recipe/Profession mods: Compatible; their recipes will appear if registered via ScriptManager.
  • No vanilla files are overwritten; everything is added via Lua hooks/API.


FAQ
Q: Does this change XP rates or balance?
A: No — it’s a UI/info mod only.

Q: Why don’t I see a recipe in the list?
A: Some recipes are gated by magazines, traits, or context. We list what’s available via your current level/source data.

Q: Can I add my mod’s skill?
A: Yes — use the API sketch above; ship a small file in client/SkillDefs/.

@Bravo yup. You have a chance to block bites and scratches. The times when a zombie tries to attack you and your character pushes them away, thats the block animation. 😊

harley there is one easy way to know if something is b42, read the tags. also you can exclude b42 from search results
Harleymart 24 Sep @ 2:06pm 
ah, thank you :steamthumbsup:
Eurymachus  [author] 24 Sep @ 1:53pm 
@harleymart, this mod is not tagged as B41 and only tagged as B42. It's also in the title.

Here is a mod for B41 made by Champy (Also in the description)
