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!

Well why would ChestShop even need to poll a non-player account if the account used for Admin shops is not defined? I figured the way that config option worked was that if no account was specified then it didn't check an account and completed the transaction as is.

Posted Feb 13, 2013@Acrobot Teleportation dupe works only if you open chest through the sign(so disable the listener if the sign open is disabled).
Or just delete option to open chest with sign.

Posted Feb 13, 2013@Xephi59 Yup, I get it. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything, because this is a fix for the teleportation dupe bug in Bukkit. Until CB version 1.4.7-R1.1 is out, I won't be able to do anything about it.
@BlueFusion95 Uh, I think I know what's wrong. Grinngots doesn't support non-player accounts, and that's why the transactions fail. I'll look into that.

Posted Feb 12, 2013@BadDog8891 Uh, not a glitch?
The price is "free", that's why he's getting it for free?
@BlueFusion95 Hmm... Could you post your config on pastie.com?
@drdeft Yup, that might be a problem, unfortunately :D I'll investigate it more, however for now, please just use names without special characters.

Posted Feb 12, 2013For some reason when I use an Admin Shop (I named mine "Market") it tells me "Money deposit to shop owner failed"
In the config I have:
SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT: ""
I am using the latest version of ChestShop, Vault, and Gringotts as my economy plugin.
Any help?

Posted Feb 12, 2013@drdeft Huh. That seems like an issue with regional characters. Have you got any items named with special characters in their name?

PotionMeta is different from MetaData. For example, if I have a potion with a CustomPotionEffect added to its Meta, and then I do /iteminfo, it returns an impossible Item ID, and putting that ID on a shop sign and trying to sell it returns "This shop is out of stock". I can show you if you like. PM me for an IP

What do you mean? I support metadata already, in Release Candidate versions. I do it by saving serializing itemstack to local SQLite database, and then retrieving the index.

Posted Feb 12, 2013If you could change the code to support PotionMeta (specifically custom), that would be great. I have some ideas on how this could be done if you're lost on the matter :)

@jaimecamara I'm sorry, what? All translations are downloadable in the main thread, here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/4150/
@ShadowDog007 Yup! You are awesome!
@Hvarr Nope, I haven't. You just have to remove the %amount from messages regarding transaction in local.yml. Or, if you wish, you can just delete the file, it'll auto-create.
@ircopdd Uhh... Hard to tell, really. Seems more like a bug with CraftBukkit, not ChestShop - which player exactly was duping? "went"?
There is a setting in the config, SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL, which is a setting you can use to block fast clicking. It's set in miliseconds.
@romuloneves Yup. Use Release Candidate.
@juli99 Nope, I do not.
