Controller Crash: cannot bind new skills added by mods past Id 370 (skills.txt)

Bug Report
1

Any skill added to the skills.txt file past Id 370 will crash the game when trying to bind the skill to a controller. Any new skill added at Id 370 is incorrectly labeled as a general skill, seems likely this is related to the cause of the bug (hardcoded row Id read range for mapping to controller bind category).

To reproduce, delete the charclass “nec” from the existing skills.txt file rows. Then add the bottom two lines to rows 372, 373 (see bottom of post).

  1. Open the game running your modded files with a controller
  2. Tab over to General and notice that Teeth is incorrectly placed in this tab
  3. Tab to Poison and Bone and attempt to bind Teeth. Notice that the game doesn’t crash
  4. Tab over to Summoning and attempt to bind Raise Skeleton. Notice that the game crashes.

Hey BakedPotato
Thanks so much for raising this discussion, I have also suffered from this bug for a long time since I play with mods by using controller quite a lot. I searched many website only to find nothing related to this issue.
I wonder if any staff from Blizzard can fix this bug -_- sad.
