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 30, 2013@w7gamer Logfile should be under plugins/ChestShop/ChestShop.log
@Bambucha91 Huh. And which economy plugin are you running? Are you also running Vault?
@w7gamer Sure. By default, you can destroy your own shops with just left-clicking. And if that doesn't work, try destroying while holding the shift button.
@Thoreren Unfortunately, I believe you haven't tested this in the latest version. You have to download the v3.50 t0058, because somehow the dev.bukkit's download button is broken - it doesn't point to the latest build.

LoL, I had even changed that option, to the opposite of what I wanted.. Good to know what one is doing ;) Good fast support though, kudos.
Now next question, I have log to file set to true, but after some transactions I can see no log file anywhere, where is it created?

@w7gamer Nope, it can be S:B, and yes, you can reverse the mouse keys in the config.

Posted Mar 29, 2013Does the B:S on the sign have to be in that order and if so would it be possible to reverse the mousekey actions as it's confusing when key action is opposite to list order (you intend to sell and instead buy).

Posted Mar 29, 2013@jeracom I see. Could you post the error on pastie.org?
@Precautionz There is a feature called "restricted shops". It will probably be changed in the future, but for now, this is how you do it.
Directly ABOVE the shop sign, place a sign that says:
[restricted]
first_group_name
second_group_name
third_group_name
Now, everyone with a ChestShop.group.first_group_name (and similarly, second_group_name and third_group_name) will be able to use the shops. Other people will get an error.
@denden216 Please create a ticket for it :) (On the top of the site, "Tickets" section)
@HAFMC Update ChestShop and CraftBukkit?
@Bambucha91 Update ChestShop and CraftBukkit?
@QQuM4Dbrah Have you got Vault installed?
@bad339 Yup! In the folder where your craftbukkit.jar file is, there is a file named "bukkit.yml". There, you can change the connector's settings!
@Bambucha91 Update ChestShop and CraftBukkit.

Posted Mar 28, 2013I think a shift sells/buys in stacks (64 items/blocks) would be really helpful instead of shift sells/buys all, please implement this feature :)

Posted Mar 28, 2013@Precautionz. Have the same scenario. I just used worldguard to disable /tpa and /tpaccept commands in the VIP shop so they cant bring other players there.

Posted Mar 28, 2013Loving the plugin so far, however I'd like to create a VIP-only shop for my server. I could create a warp to it, only allowing VIP users to use that warp, but there is the option of regular members being teleported to it.
Is there a permission or some possibility of making the chest shops inside my VIP area only usable by certain ranks? (AKA the VIP ranks in my case)
Thanks a lot.
