for some reason when i try to place a shop sign for something it keeps telling me "Another players shop detected!" there are no other shop signs on my plot and it was working fine yesterday before i took down my shop to rebuild it. can someone please help me?
There is another sign near the sign you are trying to place. Doesn't need to be a shop sign it can be any sign. Remove that sign, add shop sign then replace original sign.
It' not a bug. It was programmed that way so that there would be no confusion between sign instructions.
I believe it is not a bug but a scam prevention. The only problem I see is the wording of the error. If it just said another sign detected then I suspect most would figure it out. Also another player shop sign give the impression of a shop sign belonging to another player when it should be read as another "player shop sign".
