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 May 2, 2012I keep on getting the following database error with ChestShop: http://pastebin.com/giYGEaHe
At first I thought it might be the table was too large (260,000+ records), but I have tried wiping the table to no avail.
Any ideas of how I can go about fixing it?
Thanks

Sorry for that, just use 3.39 for a moment. I fixed that already in the unofficial version, but it seems like people get errors with it too.
@xDiamondkingx That's LWC limit, not ChestShop's.
@JonnyLowae Hm... Really impossible o.0 Are you sure you didn't give your players the ChestShop.shop.create permission? (or CHestShop.shop.*?)
Can you paste your plugin.yml on pastebin?

They are both set to op, This is what confused me, I did notice both of the 'default:...' But still players are still able to create their own shops.
Any help?

If I was to use my Permissions plugin, What permission node would I be using to prevent them from creating any form of chestshop? I ONLY want OPS to be able to create chest shops.
Cheers.
J.
P.S Default is already set to OP, Is this an issue?

Posted May 1, 2012@np98765 Yes, it was, but it's not in an official version, however you can test it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388037/Bukkit/ChestShop.jar
@JonnyLowae Yeah, just use your permission plugin, or open ChestShop.jar with WinRAR/7Zip, open "plugin.yml" and change "default: true" to "default: op"

Posted Apr 30, 2012Hi, Can you PREVENT A group or player from creating ANY form of shop? Players are using Chestshop as a way to protect their chests in my server, and I do not want this. Thanks. J.

Posted Apr 29, 2012@Iyeru Yes, and Bow-f1 should work fine.
@Beaverbeliever ChestShop already does that.
For example:
[ChestShop] AcrobotPL sold 1 MONSTER_EGG:98 for 1.0 to admin shop at [w1] 510, 5, -267
That means that I sold the monster egg at coords 510x5x-267 in the world "w1"
@selfservice0 The issue with double chests?
Well, it was a stupid error :P

Posted Apr 29, 2012Suggestion: Allow enchanted equipment.
Example, Power I Bow:

When you create a chest shop sign, it will turn into Bow-f1

Posted Apr 29, 2012Is there a way for ChestShop to log the location of where the transaction happened? That might help fix situations where players might have more than one store.

Posted Apr 29, 2012@RogueCmdr Awesome :)
@SeaGFX It's almost correct, but the permission for sell is "ChestShop.shop.sell", not "ChestShop.shop.sell.*".
Just replace ChestShop.shop.sell.* with ChestShop.shop.sell and it should work fine :)
