Shop Expander​


​
Shop expander aims to solve a problem encountered by many players using multiple large mods. Town NPCs have a limited amount of free shop inventory space. When multiple different mods add items to a single vanilla NPC's shop, it can overflow, causing any additional items to not show up. The issue is further compounded by the fact that some items might be added to the same shop by multiple different mods, resulting in wasted slots.

This mod solves the problem, by modifying tModLoader's shop setup process. It provides each mod with a new empty inventory to put items in, then combines the inventories. This new Expanded shop is then divided into pages for displaying.



​
Left clicking on the page selection arrows advances one page, right clicking will skip to the first/last page. The shop still functions as normal, but now you have a lot more space. As a bonus, you also get a full 28 slot empty page for the buyback buffer. This only shows up once you actually sell something by placing it into an empty slot in the shop, or shift clicking.


​
Whit this, the possibilities are quite literally endless. Shop Expander also comes with a simple API, to allow other mods to add as many shop items as they wish.


(Gfycat may have eaten a few frames there...
This is supposed to be every item from vanilla,
Thorium, Calamity, Spirit and imkSushi's Mod
resulting in over 200 pages.)​

The mod is also available on the mod browser.

Omfg this mod is exactly what I was looking for when I realised... by now lol. This should have existed over a few years so we wouldn't regret losing what we accidentally have sold in the past.

Well, just to clarify, the buyback buffer still doesn't persist after closing the shop. Though it wouldn't be impossible to make it persist. I might add this feature in the future.

hey will this work with fargos mutant mod?

Yes, it should work. None of the more content oriented mods I checked do anything funny with shops, that would stop this from working. Those NPCs with multiple shops like the mutant and the ones from Alchemist NPC should be fine too.

Does it happen all the time or just intermittently? What other mods are you using besides Shop Expander and Fargo's? I need more details to track this down.

I'll try and take a look as soon as I can. My comp has been acting up quite a lot tho past couple days, so might be awhile before I can hop back in game and give you more details.
