Mod bug - or at least an issue with old mods - giftShopCategory vs, giftShop

the tags for Gift Shop items changed from "giftShop" to "giftShopCategory" at some point (probably shortly after the Workshop was made available, allowing modders more flexibility).

But mods using the old value wouldn't work (no error shown, just wouldn't appear in the game menu).

GiftShop_HeadsUpDisplay mod had this issue. Not sure if any others, couldn't find any, but thought the issue should be known.

OK, good to know. Is it possible for the creator to go in and change the tag to "giftShopCategory" - seems that would fix it?

Or if the mod has been abandoned perhaps a helpful soul could reupload (giving full credit to the original creator) and I can hide the old one (I have this power).

Tip: To reupload one would need to delete the mod info file so that it could be turned into a new mod.

Yes, that's what worked for mine. The only other (not owned by me) mod that I checked had the newer/correct tag. Haven't found others not working, but there are a _ton_ of mods.

FWIW, It was this change (in gui.data), so alternately we could add "giftShop" back in (I think, not clear that a mod would load that file). And, then probably the menu would have 2 sections :giftShop and giftShopCategory - (mapped over in strings presumably.)

Yes that makes sense. I'll give it a little thought, I don't like to jump into these sorts of changes in case there are knock-on effects down the road that I haven't thought of. :)
