GShop fasion confusion

I am busy converting my old 151 cash shop stuff to 153.

As before no problems with how it all works and what to avoid, but there is 1 area of confusion - there is that fashion in-game interface.

In the gshop.data file, fashions are broken down into 3 male 3 female accessories and fashion weapons - 8 categories in all.

The ornamental weapons bit I kinda get.

However, I really can't see how the other 7 categories are actually displayed in PW. And although there is no category for packs yet some packs do appear in the interface. And even though for example the shirts category has 30+ items, we only get a few displayed.

Does anybody understand the relationship between gshop.data and the fashion in-game display? Does it choose a few at random? (If I empty out the fashions in the gshop.data files then no fashion is offered, so there is no separate file to cover fashions. And if it IS random I wonder how often it changes?

I doubt I am the first to wonder about this, but I've only spent a day experimenting.

It is not random, it is based on elements.data "fashion set" list. The rule is simple, if there is a set, it will be displayed, otherwise, that fashion will not be displayed at all.

In addition, the fashion categories will depend on the "offer" status for that fashion. NORMAL/RECOMMENDED/DISCOUNT. Depends of that field, the area where that fashion will be displayed.

Hope it helps.

Ah. The light dawns! Most of the stuff is listed as normal. It has to be either hot or new to display. Thanks!

Another question:
I am darned if I can find a "fashion set" or even "Fashion Set" in my 1.5.3 elements.data file.
I am searching inside the pwe.vision version of the file. It's the file I am using on my client and server, and fashion sets are displayed in-game. The sELedit conversion is PW_1.5.3_v145.cfg

I hate admitting defeat and asking for help if I can work it out for myself, but hopefully you can point me in the right direction to the right category

I don't use sElEdit. In my editor, there is a Fashion set list. Its a pretty new list, so start looking for it after the last list of 1.5.1 element.data
