DarkRP: Putting shipments/weapons into categories in the condensed format

[Rhapsody]

I want to put my weapons and other shipments into categories, but the issue is, my shipments.lua uses the condensed format instead of the expanded one, so it looks like this;

DarkRP.createShipment("AK-47 Barrels Pack", "models/Items/BoxSRounds.mdl", "cw_attpack_ak74_barrels", 2500, 10, true, 250, false, {TEAM_BLACK})

The regular format looks like this;

DarkRP.createShipment("Example shipment", {
model = "models/weapons/w_pist_fiveseven.mdl", -- The model of the item that hovers above the shipment
entity = "weapon_fiveseven2", -- the entity that comes out of the shipment
price = 100, -- the price of one shipment
amount = 10, -- how many of the item go in one purchased shipment
separate = true, -- whether the item is sold separately (usually used for guns)
pricesep = 100, -- the price of a separately sold item
noship = false, -- whether this item has a shipment
allowed = {TEAM_GUN, TEAM_MEDIC}, -- OPTIONAL, which teams are allowed to buy this shipment/separate gun
shipmodel = "models/items/item_item_crate.mdl", -- OPTIONAL, the model of the shipment (this crate is the default)
customCheck = function(ply) return ply:Frags() < 10 end, -- OPTIONAL, extra conditions before people can purchase the shipment or separate item
CustomCheckFailMsg = function(ply, shipment) return ply:Frags() >= 10 and "You killed too many people" end, -- Can be a simple string as well
weight = 15, -- OPTIONAL, the weight of the shipment. The default is the weight of the shipment
spareammo = 10, -- OPTIONAL, Add ammo to the default amount of ammo for every weapon
clip1 = 10, -- OPTIONAL, The amount of bullets in the primary clip by default
clip2 = 10, -- OPTIONAL, The amount of bullets in the secondary clip by default
buttonColor = Color(255, 255, 255, 255), -- Optional: The color of the button in the F4 menu,
label = "Super pistol", -- Optional: the text on the button in the F4 menu
category = "Other", -- The name of the category it is in. Note: the category must be created!
sortOrder = 100, -- The position of this thing in its category. Lower number means higher up.
})

The main issue here is, I can't just add the category I want it in past the assigned job in quotes; it doesn't work. To do it, I'd assume I'd need to fill in all of the other fields past "allowed", which obviously won't work for me.

So my question is this; how, in the condensed format, can I categorize my shipments/weapons?

Have you tried looking into darkrp code for solution?

I'm not really sure what I'd be looking for, since I'd assume it'd be a formatting thing. I'm not really experienced in lua.

Why don't you use the other format then?

[QUOTE=Netheous;47981690]Why don't you use the other format then?[/QUOTE]

Because this is the format that I have [i]everything[/i] in, bar the categories themselves, and it'd take an obscenely long time to convert every single one to the new format.

You don't have to put all the arguments I think.
And if so, you can make a table of weapons, then run a for loop that'll put it into tables with data itself.

For example:
[lua]local weapons = { "one", "two", "three" }

for _, wep in pairs ( weapons ) do
darkrp.putCrappyTable(
{
weapon = wep,
other = false,
category = lel,
}
end[/lua]

There are plenty of solutions

I've tried simply putting the category I want it in after the job, formatting it like this;

DarkRP.createShipment("AK-47 Barrels Pack", "models/Items/BoxSRounds.mdl", "cw_attpack_ak74_barrels", 2500, 10, true, 250, false, {TEAM_BLACK}, "Attachments")

All that did was break the file and it wouldn't load.

Pushing me towards doing the second part myself won't result in anything meaningful. I have no viable lua experience myself, and I won't get anywhere with advice in this thread regarding that unless for whatever reason you or someone else actually feels like doing it.

EDIT: Saw your edit. I'll give that solution a try, I suppose. What's the correct place to put that code, and would that work fine since these are shipments, not weapons?

Yeah it was just an example..
