Yet Another Shop

YetAnotherShop v5.39 - Performance Release & Hotfix Update

This update focuses on improving PlayerShop opening performance, reducing server-side UI spikes, and polishing the shop loading experience while keeping all existing gameplay features intact.

Performance Improvements

• Improved PlayerShop opening performance by splitting the initial shop UI opening from the heavier product rendering step.
• Reduced the critical shop-open workload caused by resolving shop data, player context, offer states, payment previews, and UI card rendering all at once.
• Added deferred initial product rendering for PlayerShops to reduce interaction and world-task spikes when opening linked shops.
• Extended the short-lived PlayerShop render context cache to avoid unnecessary repeated player context rebuilds during rapid open/render/refresh sequences.
• Reduced duplicate context creation when opening shops through direct links, shop blocks, or NPC-linked shops.
• Disabled verbose performance logging by default for release builds.

PlayerShop Loading UX

• Added a visible loading state when opening PlayerShops.
• The shop now displays a loading message while offers and payment options are being prepared.
• Improved the initial shop-opening experience so the UI no longer appears as an empty product area during deferred rendering.
• Payment previews remain fully available and are loaded once the product list is ready.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash when opening PlayerShops caused by deferred rendering trying to update product card slots before they existed in the CustomUI tree.
• Fixed missing product card placeholders during deferred PlayerShop rendering.
• Fixed ServerShop admin output item removal behavior by aligning it with the working payment-item removal flow.
• Fixed ServerShop admin special item metadata tooltips for items such as Books & Papers.
• Fixed overly wide special metadata tooltips by applying a fixed-width tooltip style.
• Fixed deprecated metadata codec usage in custom item metadata handling.
• Fixed a ServerShop admin crash caused by invalid CustomUI event bindings on non-activatable elements.

Tooltip Improvements

• Improved special metadata display for custom items in admin previews and product slots.
• Books & Papers metadata such as title, author, signed state, and page count can now be displayed more reliably in relevant tooltips.
• Reduced the risk of empty or oversized custom tooltip boxes.
• Currency and cash tooltip formatting has been cleaned up.

Admin UI Fixes

• Improved ServerShop admin stability after recent tooltip and slot interaction changes.
• Fixed selected product item removal in the ServerShop admin product editor.
• Adjusted output-slot tooltip handling so click actions and tooltip display use stable CustomUI controls.

Release Notes

• No gameplay features were removed.
• PlayerShop payment previews are still fully supported.
• Shop purchases continue to be validated server-side.
• Performance logging can still be enabled for diagnostics using -Dyetanothershop.perf=true or the YETANOTHERSHOP_PERF=true environment variable.
