BuyLand

What does it do?
BuyLand allows users to buy, sell, rent, and price WorldGuard Regions. It uses the WorldGuard Flags BUYABLE and PRICE as a starting point, and allows players to set additional WorldGuard flags as they see fit. A player simply types /buyland [Region Name] or /rentland [Region Name] 1 Week and it will deduct the money from their account. An even easier way to do this is to click on BuyLand signs. This plugin uses WorldGuard, WorldEdit, and Vault. You can also configure how many regions a single person is allowed to own, as well as the default price someone will pay if no price is specifically set. You can also set the sell back price as a percentage. The Land once bought will take a snapshot of the land and save it. As soon as the Land is sold it will restore the land back to the snapshot.
Quote from chriztopia:I found that plugins like Towny and other plot plugins are sometimes hard to install and a pain to maintain. So I created this plugin for my servers and wanted to share it.
BuyLand - Version: 0.9.1 Alpha
Like always, please submit tickets for any defects that occur in the latest release.

- Add a way for a player to sell an owned region to another player.
- Add a way to have the money from a purchased region and a sold region transition to a bank

- Try to work on some help sections to describe in better detail how to do things in BuyLand and configuration yml files.
- Any other items that may come up.

- Bug fix only release
- Tickets 65 & 66 - Fixes bugs introduced in 0.8.6
- When a region was initially rented, rent extended, and rent region expired, the schematics were not being applied or saved from the settings.
- It should have been looking for a setting of rentland.onRentExpire.placeSchematic, but was actually looking at
buyland.onRentExpire.placeSchematic.- This and similar issues caused it to never find the setting for placing or saving the schematic in the onRentBegin, onRentExtend, and onRentExpire events.
- This also affected the removelwcprotection setting in the same sections.

- Ticket 67 - Fixes bugs introduced in 0.8.5
- When a player with a mixed case name such as AndyCYXU buys a region, they can not sell it because it says they are not the owner.
- When comparing the owner's name to the player's name, the players name was left upper case while the owners name was forced lower case when it was created.
- This caused the name to not match, and flagged the player as not being the owner and denied the sale back.
- When comparing the owner's name to the player's name, the players name was left upper case while the owners name was forced lower case when it was created.

Help
- Visit this detailed help page for more detailed information on how Buyland works.
RentLand Config
Normally rentable regions are setup with the /rentland save [regionName] command. You can also convert an existing buyable region to a rentable region by adding it manualy in the rent.yml config file.
How to create a rentable region
You must use /rentland save [regionname] and NOT /buyland save [regionname]
Creating a buyland region and trying to place a rent sign on it will not allow it to be rentable!
How to set the sell back percentage
The sell back percentage is based on the decimal form of a percent. So 1.0 equals 100% which means if u buy land for $100 you can sell it for $100. If you set the percentage to 0.6 or 60% the sell back price of $100 would mean you will only get back $60 for selling back your land.
- 1.0 = 100%
- 0.9 = 90%
- 0.8 = 80%
- 0.7 = 70%
- 0.6 = 60%
- 0.5 = 50%
Sign Usage
Sign Setup
To create a buyland sign, create the region as specified above and in the How to create a rentable region help page. When placing a sign, add the following 2 lines and it will create a sign specific for the type of region it is for. Lines 3 and 4 should be blank. You can also read about signs here.
- [BuyLand]
- RegionName
A BuyLand sign can be placed anywhere outside the region it represents.

Adding the parent again after the region has been put up for sale seems to fix the issue, reselling the land will not reset the parent for what ever reason.

that would be absolutely amazing.
if you were able to do both of those things, this plugin could become the go-to for player shop areas.
the notifications i would think either a configurable amount of time. or, 1 hour warning, then 5 minute warning (if online)
if they dont pay on time, they would just get 'locked out' of the region until they re-rent.

I can add a feature to not reset on rent. Also I could add a feature in to where if the owner of the rented region is on it will notify them before it expires.

Posted Feb 26, 2013this plugin is wonderful, except one thing that just kills me...
when renting land. lets say, for a shop. when your rental is up. there is no warning to the owner, that it is about to run out of time. AND, it not only removes the owner like it should, but it wipes the entire plot back to nothing.
when used in a server/player shop area, we want them to just get locked out of their shop, if they dont pay. not delete everything inside. is there a way to fix this? ive turned resetonsale off, but theres no resetonrent setting. :( :( :(

This is a WorldGuard feature? If you are the owner of a region then no one else can build inside that region unless they are also owner or a member. or obviously OP.

3. if you are set as the owner and the flag is set as Buyable FALSE then buyland will list you as the owner.
2. Simply set the buyable flag to False for players then go into the user DB file and manualy set how many regions they own.
1. The signs do not update when using the price command. Sorry I will consider adding this as a feature. I suggest getting the entire region setup then recreating the sign. This should display the correct price. the price is pulled from the price flag first if no price is set then it will look at the default price set.
If this does not help you let me know.

Posted Feb 20, 2013Hey, I just installed this plugin recently and I got a few questions I could not figure out myself.
1. I tried to use the player commands to sell a region first and then placed a sign. It shows the region is for sale and the default price. Then I tried to price said region and it didn't do anything thought I gave me all rights. I then set the price with the admin pricing command and it seemd to work but the sign didn't show any changes to the price. I reloaded the plugin, then restarted the server but still nothing. Today I tried to set it up again with the same region after I found the bit about flags in the help file and found out I had the price flag set but no flag buyable. I set the flag then and I get the real price if I try to do anything with the region but the damn sign will not display the right sign and I can't destroy it since I disabled it in the config. What did I do wrong with the damn sign that it doesn't display the right price?
2. I already got a few regions owned by players which I set with worldguard directly, is there any way to convert them so that my users may sell the land and it is counted to the owned land?
3. I set the buyable regions up without adding an owner like I did a few other regions for other purposes on my server but I am listed as their owner if I use /region info but buyland tells me, I own 0 regions, what did I do to get that result?
I hope somone can answer my questions, KanaYamamoto
