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!

I have the same problem with lag. Player interact event is taking massive amount of time. I used nolagg examine to create visualization. It took 17454 ms during 2k ticks test.

Posted Apr 16, 2012@Icee2199 You can customize everything in /money by going into /plugins/iConomy/Template.yml (and BTW, that's not related to ChestShop)
If you want to change ChestShop's messages, change plugins/ChestShop/local.yml
@polo3400 At the moment no, but it might be possible in CS4.
@sexysteve865 Really, 10 comments before you... http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/?comment=815

Posted Apr 15, 2012@joannou1 Sorry, I didn't see it :/
Are you sure you edited the plugin.yml correctly? There are two 'default's in the config, and you need to set them both to "default: ops"

Posted Apr 15, 2012@Acrobot I am copying/pasting this again, because it seems to have ignored / skipped my comment. I really need help, I have read nearly all the comments and documentation.
@Acrobot I have done everything in my power to stop Defaults from creating shops, and to make VIP's have access.
I have edited all the stuff in the plugin.yml to OP only. I have given Default -ChestShop.shop.create.* I have given Default -ChestShop.* I have given VIP ChestShop.*
Everyone can use it! I am sick of this, can you please help me?

Posted Apr 15, 2012@imaxorz Yeah, that's still in seconds.
@Apoc22932 iConomy is your problem, and if you're using an external database, it's even worse. I'd suggest switching to local db.

Posted Apr 15, 2012I'm getting horrible lag when using Chestshop - When someone buys/sells and item to a shop the entire server can lag for up to 10 seconds (if spammed) I've set the interval to 500th of a second so that means they should only be able to use a shop once every half a second.
This really does nothing, and it's driving me mental. I'm using 3.39 (had the same issues for about 2 months going back to 3.35)
Running RB 1.2.5 with iConomy6 and Vault.
Anyone have any ideas on what may be causing it? My only thoughts would be the chat messages spamming the console and players...

Ok the ChestShop open chest feature (rught click sign) is loggable with inventory events.
Only remains the interact event, which would make it compatible with all current and future protection plugins immediately, supposedly :)
