Title: Modding Dept Store help
Post by: jakeread1 on March 20, 2013, 07:05:16 pm

How do I change the letter to buy an item, I added an Iron Pipe to the hardware section of the dept store but the letter is E which is the letter for examining the equipment of the squad. Any idea how to fix this?

*facedesk* How do I change the letter to either exit the store, or the letter to buy an item?

I already have that, what tool to use wasn't my question. My question is HOW TO CHANGE THE LETTER TO EXIT THE STORE.

I posted a fix for that problem a while back but it's probably buried by now.  I'll dig it up in a bit.
Here's the thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121175.0

You ought to be able to copy that code over the existing deptstore.xml; if that doesn't work or seems too dangerous, add

Code: [Select]

<letter>(whatever letter you want)</letter> to each block.  You'll have to do that for each item in the sections that haven't got letters designated, but judicious use of copy/paste can save a lot of time.

The automatic letter assignment for items in shops is bugged in the current release version. You have to specify one, but don't use one already used by the shop interface.

Belated thanks for the underlying fix, Carlos.
