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 Apr 22, 2012Hello,
Does anyone know a way to edit a sign so you don;t have to break it a place a new one to make a change?
Either in game or be editing a file?
Thanks

Posted Apr 22, 2012@BurnseyBoi Hmm...
Are you sure you didn't paste any old value there?
This is REALLY weird, and I have no idea what's going on....
@np98765 Well, I thought it was working...
For now, use 3.39, I'll fix that soon.

Posted Apr 22, 2012I also have this error with v3.40
http://pastebin.com/5BZuYnMr
I deleted the config and allowed it to regenerate it, and the error disappeared. As long as the config was untouched, the error is non-existant. As soon as I edit the config, the error shows up. All I did was open the file in notepad++, change a few true and false entries, and save it.

I am running WorldGuard, and double chests can't be created at all... Protected region or not.
Is there a Worldguard setting or something??

Posted Apr 22, 2012@np98765 "*" permission doesn't work with Bukkit, and can you tell me if you're running WorldGuard and is the double chest being created in the "wild", or in a region?

Posted Apr 22, 2012Hey,
I have an issue with double chests. No one, not even ops or people with the '*' permission can create double chests!
It says: "[Shop] You don't have permission to do that" or similar."

Posted Apr 22, 2012Is there an easy way to delete a players ChestShops? So lets say a player gets banned, instead of going around and removing all the signs is there an easy way to just purge all their shops?

Posted Apr 22, 2012@ThoLav Well:
- MySQL is supported, but I don't know if it works. Just edit bukkit.yml to suit your needs. - Statistics webpage can already be made using ChestShop.

Posted Apr 22, 2012Hi,
it would be fine if you could support mysql database, for shops and logging.
1. It would be a bit faster on large servers.
2. Statitics and such things could be dislplayed on websites.
What du you think about?

Hey there again. No, the database is on the localhost. I saw the source code from the method that is causing delay and found nothing. Gotta take a look deeper.

Posted Apr 21, 2012Yeah i got world guard. I have tried to make double chest inside world guard region, towny and "the wild" (no regions). Non of them worked, always gets the "[shop] you dont got permissions...". I alos use the latest dev build of bukitt, deadbolt 2.1.2 (the latest version dont work that well for me.), latest dev build of world guard and last stable release of towny
@clownfish8 I think you can use every iconomy account, i use my towny account which is town-"TownNAME" (ex. town-ludo) and it works great.
