ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)
Acrobot released his first Android game, would you mind giving it a go?
ChestShop
A simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests.
It's never been that easy to create shops! With features like shop protection and anti-lag protection, you won't have to worry about your server's economy anymore!
"Just works"! ChestShop supports almost all economy plugins by using Vault!
(Versions above 3.9.2 also support economy plugins using the Reserve API)
Some known compatible and incompatible economy plugins.
Please check if there are newer development builds before reporting issues!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the file's changelog!
The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (mcstats.org and bstats.org) in order to provide the developers with usage information. If you wish to opt out, you can do so in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and bstats/config.yml files. It also features an auto-update feature, which can be turned off in the config.

Using shops
It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell. (You can configure the buttons in the config file!)
How to create a shop
Player shop
| Place a chest on the ground | |
| Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above it) | |
| On the sign, write: | ![]() |
| Leave the first line empty. It will be automatically filled with your name by the plugin (if you have the permission ChestShop.admin then you can create shops with the names of other players) | |
| Second line is the amount of items to buy or sell | |
|
Third line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon (:) |
Some of the possible price combinations: "B 5:5 S", "B 5", "S free" |
|
The forth line will hold the id/name of the item. Write ? on the sign and the item will be autofilled with the one from the chest or you can click on the sign with the item afterwards. Optionally you can put the actual name on it. You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo |
|
| Resulting Shop | ![]() |
| A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616 |
If you want you can also take a look at this video tutorial.
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission or that you are an OP. To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign when creating the shop. Admin Shops do not require a chest!

Posted Aug 31, 2012@PunJedi Look. Nothing has changed in ChestShop's permission handling code. It might be an "issue" with your permission plugin.

Posted Aug 31, 2012@ihasamoose As I said "This hasn't been an issue until recently" We have done nothing more than updated from your latest devs.
What I don't get is if you had that node set to * the whole time, how were we able to keep greys from making shops for the last year ?
This is a recent change that we are dealing with. Yes we rebooted many times during testing and that would have kicked in the negated node as you state, which it didn't.
At this point we have simply let the Grey members have their shops and are moving on.
I am not picking at you at all but nothing changed on our end, we updated, now we run into this issue.

Are you OP on this server?
If not, then that could be the bug and should be disputed in the tickets section. Maybe Acrobot needs to make it permission based!

If you want you can send me your IP and I'll investigate this further for Acro, as I use those values on my own server and they work fine.

Documentation says...
Permission nodes enabled by default:
ChestShop.shop.* - lets you create shops, buy from them and sell to them
↓ (it grants people these nodes)
`ChestShop.shop.create` - lets you create shops `ChestShop.shop.buy` - lets you buy from shops `ChestShop.shop.sell` - lets you sell to shops
It would not work if you negated it live-time without a restart. You would need to restart for the permission to be detected by ChestShop.

Posted Aug 29, 2012Did you by chance add a default value for "Default" to use Chestshop?
On latest updated, our Greys (Default) even with a negated chestshop.create node, they can still create shops. This has been tested with adding the negated node, and simply not having the access node there. This hasn't been an issue until just recently.

I don't believe you could, but you could open a ticket and make the suggestion to Acro!
@Netcraazzy
Try setting the flag that ChestShop uses for Worldguard. Off the top of my head I don't remember what it is, so to check it you'd have to read through the flags when you misspell one.
I.E
/region flag <region> Fdf
This will print all of the possible flags, I think it's something like just "ChestShop"
Hope that helped.

Posted Aug 29, 2012Ok, I've got a really odd bug. I have 1 world where the player is not allowed to buy or sell diamonds to an admin shop. Any other item is fair game but try to buy/sell diamonds and chest shop says you do not have permission. The player has the chestshop.shop.* permission and can successfully buy/sell diamonds to an admin shop in any other world except for the one my new spawn city is in. I am using towny but the integration with chestshop is turned off. I am also using worldguard however I tested this even outside any WG regions with same result.

What is the log? Does it say the player has bought the item and they just don't receive it or is it simply unusable?
If unusable, they need the permission...
ChestShop.shop.buy
@tentonaxe
I just tried it on my server and it worked. That's odd. What item are you trying it on?

Posted Aug 27, 2012Ok so for some reason buying things doesnt work on my server. Could this be due to permissions or something? Shops are in heavily world guarded areas. You can sell items to an admin shop but not receive items.
