Modding new items iinto stores in 1.8

[Zallmoxis]

Hi all.

I have been working on my own mod for a while now and with the new 1.8 patch I have not been able to mod my items back into stores. I've tried editing the item collections and the stores .json. Even the starsytemdef.json and nothing seems to be working... What is the current procedure for editing these items in?

I think they made some changes to the item collection setup, so you might have some issues there. You might want to review the info here to see if there are things you need to adjust.

After playing with the files more and going through the threads provided (thanks Lynx7725) I think the problem is with my item files, however I am unsure where I have gone wrong as I'm using files pulled directly after the 1.8 update. I have attached a the files to see if someone else can see where I went wrong if someone wishes to have to time.

I'm guessing it's not shouwing up in the list?

Try this as your mod.json, and see what happens. at UrCurinne.

{
    "Name": "Start Bonus",
    "Version": "1.0",
    "Enabled": true,
    "Manifest": []
}

Hi Timaeus

I have a mod.json that looks exactly like that already. Every other aspect of the mod works fine its just the weapon and gear files don't work, and adding them to shops has been unsuccessful so far.

The shops folder should be obsolete now and all items handled from the itemCollections folder, so your edits to the shops folder won’t make any changes.

And in the stock 1.8 game (for some bizarre reason) itemCollection_Weapons_base has been removed from itemCollection_major_XXX and itemCollection_minor_XXX making the entire file pointless. Well not entirely pointless; itemCollection_Weapons_base now only shows up in itemCollection_Reward_major_Marik and itemCollection_shop_progression_med.

First, are you able to see any of your equipment in singleplayer skirmish? Second, in the zip you have it does not in fact look just like that, but if you do have one, and the mod does show in the loader, then I would double check case sensitivity in your files that reference your item collections, and if that isn't working you probably need to create the manifest entries in the mod.json for the files to be added. Otherwise, someone else more knowledgeable is going to need to come along to help.
