Bourbon water miscategorised as "Food - alcohol"

As the screenshot shows Bourbon water should be Food - beverage not Food - alcohol

Is Item Tweaker API a requirement

I tried to use BetterSorting on a local hosted Server ( not dedicated ) and after creating my character i get an error:
File doesn´t exist on server:
media/lua/shared/itemtweaker_copy_cc.lua

So I like to know if item tweaker is needed because its not listed as a dependency.

Gamepad Controller Problemwith context menu

Have 2 players attempting to use gamepads while playing on the server. They receive this error and get locked out of the context menu. We have tracked the issue down to this mod.
Here is the error log.

There is an encoding problem in the Korean translation.

There are some problems with UTF-8 between Zomboid and Korean language. So encoding as UTF-16 LE solves the problem.

Move the contents of the mod to shared.

Item script changes are not sync'd on the server side. If a mod has server-side code this causes issues when you need to compare the scripts/items' values.

VFE STALKER Expansion

Here is my contribution to the mod by adding VFE STALKER Expansion (ID:"VFExpansion2")

The items added by the mod are under the Base module; idk if it should show in my game if I add the strings to the additional mod file but it doesn't show up so I'm pullin the request here. Salute! Ty for the best mod ever.

Sort by Favorite

I frequently use the favorites function to make sure I don't accidentally move something I don't want to. But what would be even better is if all my favorites were kept together, so I could easier find the non-favorite stuff in my bags or inventory.

Empty White Mug vs Empty Mug

Empty White Mug is 'Container' while Empty Mug is 'Cooking'. Is there any specific reason they're not in the same category? I don't see any difference...

Add additional sorting categories

This mod is very useful in combination with this other mod Manage Containers. It allows you to add categories to some container, and when you get back from a loot trip, to instantly dump each item in the correct container. Big quality of life feature.

However some categories are lacking precision and as such some items cannot be instant sorted as we would like.

I propose adding the following categories:
Cooking - Ustentils (bowls, pans, saucepans...)
Cooking - Condiments (salt, maple syrups, vegetable oil...)
Cooking - Ingredients (flour, brown sugar, baking soda...)
Container - Bottles
Tool - Carpentry (hammer, ball-peen hammer...)
Tool - Mechanics (tire pump...)
Tool - Lights (flashlight, hand torch...)
Tool - Tailoring (scissors...)
Tool - Farming (gardening spray, shovel...)
Food - Fishing baits (worm, cricket, grasshopper...)
Food - Perishable meals (any meal prepared by the player)
Food - Perishable freeze-sensitive (ice cream (when it's not melted)...)
Food - Non-Perishable canned (any can that needs to be opened with a can opener)
Food - Non-Perishable spices (butter, marinara, ketchup, mayonnaise, tomato paste...)

Idea: merge Cooking - condiments (which right now are just cooking) and Food - Non-Perishable spices (which right now are Food - Non-Perishable) into one category, like Food - Non-Perishable spices & condiments

I'd also like to create categories that contain only one item, but this point I understand if you don't wish to add in your mod. I would like them for instant sorting. Problem with some of these is they overlap between categories (Needle can be used for tailoring and medical, screwdriver can be used for electronics and mechanics) :

• Tool - Needle containing only the needle
• Tool - Screwdriver containing only the screwdriver

Please let me know if this is in line with what you want for this mod. If you agree to this idea but cannot do the change yourself I could look into how to do this and create a PR tho I've never done this for PZ.

Sorting propose for SmallMod_Items.lua

I made some sorting changes, hopefully the will be added

Sorting Error

Since your last update, for some reason Carpentry 1 is now being sorted to the bottom of my skill literature. I generally use sort by category and have never had any issues before. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks!

Enquiry: Adding Categories Manually

Hello,
sorry for opening this as an issue. I'm a player who gets annoyed that when I loot a zombie for their clothes to rip, I always have to avoid selecting a pair of Shoes that appear in the middle of the list between the clothes I want to tear.
I was planning to add a new category "Clothing - Footwear" by myself to solve my own inconvenience, but I am not familiar with the lua scripts and I decided to reach out for some help.

I am concerned about a few things:

a. if I created a new mod mirroring your structure to add "ClothF", will it conflict with or be overwritten by the current script from your mod when I run both on my server?
I ask this because I see that the mod also tweaks the shoes:

TweakItem("Base.Shoes_ArmyBoots","DisplayCategory","Cloth");

b. I also browsed lua\shared\Translate\EN\. I roughly understood ItemName_EN.txt, but in IG_UI_EN.txt, I do not understand IGUI_ItemCat. How does TweakItem(itemName, "DisplayCategory", propertyValue) convert DisplayCategory = propertyValue = "Cloth" to "Clothing"?
Do I simply add a definition for "IGUI_ItemCat_ClothF = "Clothing - Footwear", and then TweakItem() will work with "ClothF"?

Again, sorry if this is not a good place to discuss. Any sort of reply will be appreciated!

Could you pick items only of a specific category?

For example, if I am using proximity mod, can I opt in to pick all the ammunition from the horde of zombies I just killed around me?

Hello! I am contacting you to tell you that I have translated your mod into Spanish of Spain. If you want the translation, I'll send it to you without any problem. I was going to use it for my own use, but I thought it was better to send it to you if you want it.

Mod Support: Mod's Bulk Items

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3086734481

This mod adds bulk item variants to plenty of food items, and their category is all Food. I'm not sure if it'd be best to just give them their non-bulk version's categories, or label them something like "Food - Bulk". Either works for me, I just don't want them being just "Food".

This mod also adds a Large Gas Can and a Pack of Cigarettes.

Empty Sacks miscategorised as "Food - Perishable"

Update V2.0.1 compatibility issues.

As of update V2.0.1 (it persists on V2.0.2) many items seem to be miscategorized and some categories appear to no longer exist.

Antibiotics, beverages, alcohols and condiments are now all set as "food - non-perishable", the same happened to bleach (lol), some items that before were categorized as "cooking" (pans and such) are now containers.

The screenshots on the other issue suggests that this issue doesn't affect this mod on it's own, since there are "Food - alcohol" items there and this category seems to no longer exist in my game, indicating that this is a compatibility problem with some other mod.

I can say with certainty that this was technically caused by update V2.0.1 since none of my other mods updated at the same date and nothing else changed.

As a side note - some of the new categories added in the update do exist ingame, like "clothing - arms/hands", so the update did apply.

I am aware that this might not be a problem that can be fixed by the developer of "Better Sorting" but I do want to let you know that compatibility issues now exist - I'm still trying to pinpoint what exactly is the other mod that is now causing it when in combination with this - but since steam discussion seems to be closed this is the only real way to report this.

RU translation got the weird characters issue

after the last update, incomprehensible symbols instead of the names of almost all categories
