Changelog

1.0.1

IL2CPP Hardware Store fixes

• Fixed IL2CPP backpack tier listing creation by using IL2CPP-safe TryCast and a template-clone fallback when creating StorableItemDefinition instances.
• Improved Hardware Store integration flow to use game-native listing UI refresh methods and to avoid false "added" success logs.
• Added targeted diagnostics for resource lookup and tier-listing pipeline failures to make IL2CPP troubleshooting actionable.

Backpack tier purchase and use (Hardware Store)

• Backpack tiers are now purchased at the Hardware Store (both locations) with account funds; they no longer unlock automatically by rank.
• After purchase, a backpack tier item appears in your inventory/hotbar (real StorableItemDefinition with tier icon). Select it and press B to consume it, apply that tier to your backpack, and open the backpack.
• Added config options Tier{n}_Price (defaults: 25, 75, 150, 300, 500) for store prices.
• Inventory UI is refreshed after consuming a backpack item so the hotbar slot updates immediately.
• Already-purchased tiers no longer show in the Hardware Store: when adding listings we only add tiers the player has not yet purchased; when the player uses a backpack item (press B) we remove that tier and all lower tiers’s from all stores (each tier is an upgrade; buying Tactical Pack means only Hiking Backpack remains).

Removed / simplified

• Removed patches that blocked the backpack item from being added or that cleaned it up in the background; the item is now a normal purchasable that you use with B.
• Removed PlayerInventoryPatch and InventoryAddBlockPatch; removed OnEnable patch from ShopInterfacePatch. Purchase and payment are handled entirely by the game; our shop patch only adds tier listings and returns without running purchase logic for them.
