    Try changing out the first skill to be a spell of some sort. There seems to be no non-passives in this, so there would be no spell/abilities to activate.

    If that works, then you would know exactly what is working and what is not.

    Are the descriptions there when you hover over the "disappeared" skillls, or are they not there?

    There isn't any screen shot in which you would show that, and we don't have the whole mod so we can't check for ourselves.

    You need to use PNGs as your image type. You have JPGs, GIFs, and then the PNGs. Use them.
    http://dredmod.com/wiki/Skills_Tutorials
    Code:
    This is the art file for your mod. It must be a 64x64 RGB .png file.
    Here, I left the other images in place and just made PNGs of the ones that were other formats. I think this should work as it is, no need to extract it. Just drop it in your mods directory and it should work.

    *Edit* Or not... It still does nothing. Anyone have any more ideas?
