The quick question is, It appears to not have a way to toggle categories in chat on and off, so if you actually like all the categorys in chat we use 1.5.8, and if we dont want categores in chat use 1.5.85?

The thing is, with 1.5.85 it just shows the commands category via chat w/o the buttons. 
In my opinion the 1.5.8 version is perfectly working. The buttons are a must for having access to all categories from chat. Of course I have each NPC setup with their own category, and each one of them also allows access to all categories. I love it that way.

The other info is I found that I had to delete all the configs in the data directory to have 1.5.8 work, but only this wipe. Last wipe, or the wipe before it worked, but somehow w/o me changing anything I found it couldn't buy or sell in chat or by NPC.
So I deleted all the buyed/selled and everything in the data directory and now it works.

The .85 update wasn’t my work, it was all changed that @rfc1920 provided. 

If 0.8 worked better, then feel free to use that. I’m still finishing up finals, as well as a few other projects. But I should be back within a week or two. 

So effectively his version only accesses the "commands" category when you type /shop

It would only be useful on a server that didn't use chat at all, and used NPC's only. Right?

His version lets you choose whether or not you want to hide all categories.

Where does it add the option? would it be in my main config, and could I add the toggle to my existing main config?

Or do I backup my main config and paste my essential parts into the new generated main config?

I'm sure you could add it to the config.

Okay, so last question, lol. To determine what iI do.

Is your next version going to be based on 1.5.8 or 1.5.85?
If 1.5.8, I will leave it alone until your own next version comes out. 

My development build is based off of .8 for right now, as I’ve been busy to add the changes that .85 has, since I used the patch feature to update it. 

It will have the option of .85, but have a much better system for cooldowns. 

Cool, so I'll stick with .8 for now.
