Custom Item Manager 1.0.4

Holy heck. This is great! Would love to get this!

My rust server is basically littered with custom skinned items
This would make my life so much easier

So quick question:
How difficult would it be to add existing custom items into the manager?

Hey @ChardaZAR  

Not difficult at all. If you have all your custom SkinIDs to hand, maybe 1 minute to add each item.

tl;dr for a basic item:
open the item manager, 
input a shortname you would like that item to have
input the parent item it will be based on (for non usable items, recommend shortname RHIB)
Populate the SkinID, Displayname, Description

If you use these items in any lootables (e.g. loot from events), you'd need to update it there to use the new simpler format (only shortname). Example from a loot table:

Loot format before changing to your new custom items:
 

        "List of items": [
          {
            "ShortName": "sticks",
            "Minimum": 1,
            "Maximum": 2,
            "Chance [0.0-100.0]": 5.0,
            "Is this a blueprint? [true/false]": false,
            "SkinID (0 - default)": 4535234653,
            "Name (empty - default)": "Screwdriver"
          },
          {
            "ShortName": "sticks",
            "Minimum": 1,
            "Maximum": 2,
            "Chance [0.0-100.0]": 5.0,
            "Is this a blueprint? [true/false]": false,
            "SkinID (0 - default)": 453342345,
            "Name (empty - default)": "Screws"
          },
        ]

Loot format after changing to your new custom items: (now only need to put in the shortname which you've configured)

        "List of items": [
          {
            "ShortName": "screwdriver",
            "Minimum": 1,
            "Maximum": 2,
            "Chance [0.0-100.0]": 5.0,
            "Is this a blueprint? [true/false]": false,
            "SkinID (0 - default)": 0,
            "Name (empty - default)": ""
          },
          {
            "ShortName": "screws",
            "Minimum": 1,
            "Maximum": 2,
            "Chance [0.0-100.0]": 5.0,
            "Is this a blueprint? [true/false]": false,
            "SkinID (0 - default)": 0,
            "Name (empty - default)": ""
          },
        ]

@Bad Cop You are an absolute boss. Thank you!
I will be purchasing soon!

Hello, is there any chance of a discount down to $6.50? If so, I would buy it right now

Hello, I just bought this plugin and Im noticing a heavy problem with it.

-I have noticed that item descriptions will not change from my test descriptions I had first inputted into main description. Even after multiple edits/deletions/recreations of the custom item, or plugin unload/reload.

I have long since found a solution to this problem—just edit the file in lang.
It’s just that for some reason the description in lang doesn’t change after creating it via /cim.

Thank you for the fix!

Edits to the main descriptions dont take effect. You have to manually edit a lang file on the server to change the main description on the item.

Thanks, i get it. Lang files normally don't get updated for existing keys. Would need to delete the lang and reload,  or edit only the specific entry.

I havent really thought whether there's a good way of handling this, considering you may have several languages configured. I'll see what i can do for next patch

I would only pursue it if you feel you need to. Now that I know about it I'm inputting what I want in there instead of doing tests. It was a easy fix to delete it out on the lang file and reload. I only have english lang files on my server, I didn't create any other language for the plugin, so it only took a few seconds.
