FAQ & Read Me - start here!

Getting Started with ESGUI:

ESGUI is made up of 4 main files that are fully configurable, and is where everything about the plugin and shop items are stored. Unless you are only using commands to configure your shops, you will need to access your files and know how they work.

1. The Config.yml - this is where you configure How ESGUI should function. Any changes made to this file may require a server restart.

   • More about this file here!

2. The Sections configurations - These configs can be used to configure the shop category(section) items inside the main menu which link to the shop itself.

   • More about these files here!

3. The Shops configurations (most used files, you'll be here alot)- These configs store all item information for every shop item in a specific section.

   • More about these files here!

4. Last, and least used file is the languages file in the LanguageFiles folder.

   • Depending on which one you have configured ESGUI to use in the config.yml, this is where you can make changes to the messages and text lines of ESGUI's interface.
