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 Mar 27, 2013@Qzalp Sorry, but I have not enough time for paid plugins.
@HitmanPL47 ChestShop grabs the information from the ChestShop.db file or, if you configured bukkit to use MySQL, it uses it alternatively.
Modifying the text file won't work.
@eeg111 Not yet, sorry!
@mrchasez Huh. What errors do they get? No permissions have changed.
@simpsda Yup!

Players who could previously create shops can't anymore. They have ChestShop.shop.create did permissions change?
Tells them they don't have permission to create shops. I can't figure out why, ever since updating to v58 from v50

Posted Mar 26, 2013When I try to click a shop to test it, nothing happens. Is this a glitch or does even an op need permissions to buy/sel?
EDIT: Never mind. I just figured out you need to be in survival mode to buy/sell

That's right. What I did is a setup my live server to record data and have it set to -1. So I moved both the text file log file and the db it creates to a local copy of my server and made it generate the stat site every 60 seconds. It doesn't seem to take the logs that I give it though, instead, when it generates nothing appears. So, I go into the game and buy a few things and it will show up.
Hopefully maybe that helps. The data is there in the two files, but when it generates it isn't used.
Edit: ie) From where does chestshop grab its information from to generate the site?

Posted Mar 26, 2013Seems I can't link you to non-approved bugs, sorry!
There's this, alternative link, though (chaseoses don't look!)
http://content.wuala.com/contents/Acrobot/ChestShop/Files/ChestShop.jar?dl=1
@denden216 Use the link above.
@DooKid Use the link above.
@mrchasez Use the link above.
@selfservice0 Well, yeah :C That doesn't make any sense!
@PesquisadoR I'm not sure, I'll look into it. Please create a ticket for it.
@HitmanPL47 What do you mean by "all" the data? There is a setting in config, "RECORD_TIME_TO_LIVE" - it's how long the records are stored in the database.
