Edit: WTF why do I have a triple post... I only edited once to make it what the last one said....

2nd Edit: update posted

I'm glad it's been fixed.

It doesn't seem to work on my pc (X: Rebirth ver. 4.0). I used to have it work on older version of the game, but not anymore. Maybe ity got broken with the last release? Or maybe the install through Steam Workshop isn't working properly... I have other mods installed though.

X Rebirth 4.00 introduced a change that means we now know the skills of all the NPCs we have hired without needing to put them to work somewhere first. Perhaps something about that change has lead to incompatibility with this mod.

or play CWIR mod, all NPCs on YOUR stations will have their skills revealed.

odd since I don't seem to be having issues with the mod. Works fine for me on 4.00

Okay... I think I now found my "issue". It was between the chair and the keyboard. I remember this mod not needing to hire npcs to show their skills... Didn't know you needed to hire them first now >.<;;;

Thanks a lot for helping

You're remembering it right. The mod allows NPCs to show you their skills when you ask them.

If you're seeing the skills only after you hire them, that's not the mod. That's in vanilla 4.0.

edit: hm. just looked at the script and can't see anything that could've broken. can't check in-game right now, but what's wrong?

Does selecting "Show Skills" in conversation not show you their skills anymore?
Or is the option to "Show Skills" not appearing anymore?

Ow... Then I do have a problem. My game is new, and when I talk to npcs (or rather, before I talk to them, on the popup on the side of the screen), there are only question marks displayed. Maybe I need them to be friendlier before they display their skills ? Or do I really have to "ask" them in the chatting thing? The npc I was targeting didn't display the question to be asked, only "where is", "I want to hire you" (to which she answered "no") and other unimportant stuffs I think...

EDIT: Now I got the thing working properly for no apparent reason o.o Sorry to have wasted your time... >.<;

EDIT 2: The show me your skill command wasn't available ingame. But now it is. Idk what happened. In any case, it's fixed

w.evans · Post by **w.evans** » Fri, 26. Feb 16, 18:29

No problem. Think there were some changes to some conversation options and thought the "Show Skills" option might have been removed from non-employee NPCs. Would be fair if it was, I think, since just showing question marks when selecting that option looked funny.

Thanks for checking that w.evans. I have tried, several times, but I just can't get into X:R like I could X3:TC so I am just waiting for the next Egosoft game and hoping.

no problem, StormMagi. i use the mod too, and it would suck if it suddenly stopped working.

I tested the mod, it is partially working. It works when you are on a station and talking to the npc and it works when you are using the hud menu, but it does not seem to work when using the side screen menu (I mean the actual screen that pops up as part of the skunk).

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Sun, 28. Feb 16, 23:19

I think that is a new feature? The original mod was from back when you had to walk around stations so a change or two might be needed if there is another venue to talk to people now...

Hello everyone, this hack works well with V4.0?
He does not compromise the save, and the main mission?
Thank you for an answer

Hello again

Just in case you've not see it, there's a really nice forum thread where players share knowledge about what mods are still working here. On that page this mod had a 4.0 listing so players have found it to be working fine so far. If you experience any problems do feel free to ask though.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Thu, 10. Mar 16, 00:42

Yes it works with 4.0 and doesn't affect the save file.

I do not know if its specific to me but Show Me Your SKills mod did not work for me with Log Everything mod installed.

When i went on side menu and clicked 5->person->show me your skills then ships side console monitor did not open. Camera turned right but monitor did not open. Esc key returned me to previous menu.

antoniut · Post by **antoniut** » Wed, 16. Mar 16, 18:06

It would be possible to show the 3rth first skills at side of the npc's names on the npc's hireable list in a format e.g. (mean stars) 4-5-3 or so and not have to talk them one by one?

Thanks

Excellent must-have mod. If I had one wish, it'd be that this mod also prevented Ren from constantly saying "show me your skills". When going through an NPC lists trying to find a 5-star one it makes me want to pull my hair out when he starts saying it every second for dozens of times. Would it be possible to somehow edit this into the mod?
