When typing, and then entering, /shop - (For the mod "GUI Shop"), It will continuously display this message: "GUIShop is wating for ImageLibrary downloads to finish please wait." ......I have been waiting for quite a while, well over an hour. Is there any help that someone may render, regarding my query? Thank You In Advance.

It happens to me. Wait a min or so and reload the plugin again
Nah, that is not it. It still will not load  up the shop at all. 
Did you put an API key in the image library? also, are you on the latest version?
Yea, I will double check the api key but I put it in the skinbox mod. Is the same api key suppposed to be placed in the gui shop mod?
Are you on the latest version of image library? it was updated not that long ago. Did you get it working? if not add me on discord Khan#8615
Hi Khan! I did not get it working with the new update. Thus, I had to go back to the previous config, then I had to re-install the original .cs file. I tried with the original .cs file "first" and then refreshed and uploaded to my server. However, it would not generate the .json file......This is why I had to go back and completely rework the .json file back to the original. Anyway, I am gonna read more on the new gui shop update before I even think of updating it again. The way I have it now, it is working. The new updates are not helping me in any way. When I get ready, I will back up my current config and .cs files on removable storage, then update. If it does not work again, I will be using the setup I will have on removable storage, from this point forward.

Please send me your config file. And the version number of GUIShop you are trying to update from.

So that I can debug this

I sure will. Thanks for the help, Khan! I will have that for you pretty quick. But, in case I have to get up and go to get my wife or son, It may be this evening b4 I can send it. Is that ok?

Merged post

Oh, as well. I hope that my messages did no come off as rude. I just went back and read them. I think I sounded a bit rude. I apologize. I LOVE the mod. It is absolutely great. I think maybe I just did something wrong in the update, OR in editing the previous config......Not sure, But I will send it to you ASAP. Again, Thanks for your help.
P.S.
Are there any specific tools I need to create mods for my server? That are offered somewhere? Thanks Again!
A quick note to @khan and others having issues with Image Library load not finishing: it might be a Steam Workshop issue. I am experiencing it too plus another plugin is giving error "There was a error querying Steam for workshop data : Code (403)". I remember seeing similar error earlier, trying to find out how it was fixed then.
I am gonna be sending my .json files and both .cs files that I have used. I will have them listed in the correct order for you as well. they will be listed as "Currently Working Plugin/.cs and Config/.json" as well as the updated .cs and .json files that would not work. I have just sat back down to the laptop, only to find that my battery is in need of some "Serious" Charging. hehe. So, after it charges up some, I will attach some files for you all. Thanks for the replies you all.

Sincerely

A temp solution that works on my server: I unloaded ImageLibrary, reloaded GUIShop, then loaded ImageLibrary. The problem comes back if I load ImageLibrary before GUIShop.

Edit: I may have figured it out. As long as all items on Shop List in config have shortnames, the procedure above works. But if there is an item with shortname "null", there is no way to get it working. It appears this is related to fetching "null" shortnames.

Yes, there is sooooo many null's in my config....I went to the previous config and .cs file/plugin, for now. I will have to work on the config file over the next ? days. I noticed that it was absolutely filled with "null" on mine as well, though. I love the mod, and would love to learn how to create mods, as I don't have long to live, about a year and a half to 2 years left. Due to a brain tumor and huntington's disease.....So I have dug into Rust. I have passed 11k hours recently and I want my next step to be creating some cool mods for my server. Since I cannot go outside and run, jump, go out for a ride in the country and just enjoy the country, or even the city....., I ejoy doing that stuff in the game. That is why this game is important to me. I love the freedom it offers, and That's the Rub....lol. I want to create mods for my server so I can have fun before I kick the bucket, Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank again, Khan!  But, as I will state here.....I don't know what the heck I am doin. hahahahah. Anyway, Khan, I love the GUI Shop Plugin. It is OUTSTANDING
You cannot update from version 1.7 to 1.8+
I would love to. I really love the mod and so do my gamers......But, in the update process, something had to have happened. I am quite sure that, becuase of others not having any issues, I can't even fathom a guess. So, that is why I reverted back to the old .cs and reworked the config(.json) to be the 1.7 version of the mod and .cs file as well. It works for now, like it did before. However, I would like to get if repaired, as sometimes, a mod, will not work with the new updates UNTIL I update each mod that requries it. So, absolutely, I must fix the new .cs and.json files to be accepted by my server. I am quite certain that it can be fixed. No Worries. I am gonna back up the 1.7 versions of the files, then completely remove them and replace them with the 1.8 versions. I will let you know how it goes.
