# Configure Clothing Shops

### 1. Core Configuration

All shop logic is centralized in `shared/sh_clothes.lua`.\
Before adding shops, verify your global settings :

* Choose the skin manager (`qb-clothing`, `esx_skin`, etc.)
* The `Shared.ClotheCategories` table maps each clothing slot to its ESX or something else keys and icon directories. You can extend or rename categories here if needed

#### Pricing defaults

`Shared.ClotheDefaultCategory` defines a fallback price if a shop omits pricing for a given category.

### 2. Clothing Shop Schema

The comment block in `sh.lua` documents the full schema for shop entries and category options (pricing modes, whitelist/blacklist, texture surcharges, etc.).

#### Pricing modes

* **`fixed`** – flat fee (`base`)
* **`multiplier`** – `base + drawableIndex × mult`
* **`table`** – map explicit prices to drawable indices (`map`)

### 3. Adding a New Clothing Shop

1. **Open** `shared/sh_clothes.lua` and locate `Shared.ClotheShops`.
2. **Duplicate** an existing shop block and give the table key a unique identifier (e.g., `mirror_park`).
3. **Edit basic shop info**: `name`, `payment` (`cash` or `bank`), `currency` symbol, `tax`, and `discount`.
4. **Configure categories** under `categories`:
   * Set `enabled = true` for each clothing type you want to sell.
   * Define pricing using one of the modes above and optionally override the icon path.
5. **Set the blip**:
   * `pos = vec3(x, y, z)`
   * `sprite`, `display`, `scale`, `colour`, and `name`
6. **Save** the file and restart the script to load the new shop.

Example excerpt (from the provided “Strawberry” shop) for reference :

```lua
strawberry = {
    name = "Discount Store - Strawberry",
    payment = "bank",
    currency = "$",
    tax = 0.00,
    discount = 0.10,
    categories = {
        undershirt = { enabled = true, price = {mode = "fixed", base = 300},
                       icon = "images/icons/CLOTH-3-ICON.png" },
        tops = { enabled = true,
                 price = {mode = "multiplier", base = 300, mult = 2},
                 icon = "images/icons/CLOTH-3-ICON.png" },
        -- …
    },
    blip = {
        pos = vec3(71.835, -1399.081, 29.376),
        sprite = 73,
        display = 4,
        scale = 0.7,
        colour = 2,
        name = "Clothing"
    }
}
```

### 4. Optional Tweaks

* **Default marker look** (`Shared.Marker`) : adjust type, size, and color for shop entry markers
* **Sound and locale** : toggle purchase sounds with `Shared.PlaySound`, and edit top-screen prompts in `Shared.Locale`
