is there a mod that allows Primary Skills >99?

I was wondering: I've found that with XXL map sizes, room to put thousands of map objects in a map and making custom artifacts, is there a mod that allows primary skills to exceed 99?  I'm using 'ERA 3.3.4 + HD-mod 5.2 RC28 + ERA SCRIPTS' from:

http://wforum.heroes35.net/showthread.php?tid=5817

I know the obvious answer and probably the only solution is to not make maps and artifacts so much more, but it's hard not to go bigger and better when it's so tempting lol

Since there is a plugin, inactive by default, that shows primary skills above 99, that would suggest that primary skills can go higher without additional mod support. (But you wouldn't see that without the plugin being active.)

When I've played Knightmare Kingdoms, I've definitely seen higher stats, but that could be from something KK does.

Yes, I should've clarified before, I know stats >99 are calculated, because you can see the results in your army, spell dmg and mana.  I just wanted to see it displayed in the hero screen.  I have OCD apparently lol!  

What's the name of the plugin and I'll activate it

There is a plugin that allows the display of prim skills over 99. I think the max is around 127 before it resets to zero. Imo the use of prim skills >99 is risky because it can corrupt your game, so I advise you to just take the 99 limits for granted.
The Magic Awakening (a big Chinese modification)is the only mod that I know of where you can have over 127 prim skills displayed.
The method is actually simple because you just have to create virtual storage for primary skill points and display it on the hero screen. The problem of such a script is not the implementation but rather to maintain compatibility with other mods, I think.

Going above 99 is possible because primary stats are treated as signed char C++ type. But... there are some places in the code you need to take care of, unless all that you want is just displaying stats above 99.

I never had any bug with that plugin and I played hundreds of games with.

Yes I guess display stats over 99 plugin + Sals overflow fix mod is the best way to go. You just have to be careful that the AI stats do not overflow and reset to zero.

I guess some additional little script could solve that, I use it in my custom maps. If AI is higher than let's say level 50 and any primary skill is at zero, set it to 125 or so before every battle.

I hope I found all of them, but still there is a chance of an error, so don't forget to backup your executable before patching.
