floAuction - In-game auction software
There are no supported versions of floAuction v3.0.x higher than 3.0.4.
floAuction provides a powerful chat based auction system with many options to help control "spam" and scams and many customizable features making it perfect for any server. Help support development of floAuction: Donate
Notable Features!
floAuction has too many customizable features to reasonably put on the main page here, but here's a list of notable ones.
- Full language customization, even (with the use of WhatIsIt) item names themselves.
- Auction house, silent auctions, sealed auctions, countdown suppression, individual opting-out of all auctioning, and many other "spam" limiting features!
- Reserves funds (i.e. removes them from the player account), ability to disable auctioning damaged and renamed items, full item details displayed, and other abuse and scam prevention features!
- Percent of winnings or price per auction taxes, limits on max's and min's of different auction aspects, banned items list and other economy protection features!
- And, finally ss of the release of floAuction version 3: Auction scopes. The ability to designate world grouping and create multiple auction houses, each with distinct language and config settings.
A list of main features, complete, in progress, planned and under consideration can be found here. Specific per-version history can be found here. And GitHub here.
Important Notes and Disclaimers
- Before commenting, read the FAQ!
- This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt, make sure they're installed if you want floAuction to work.
- floAuction uses PluginMetrics to create pretty graphs and charts on mcstats.org. All the data uploaded to their site is impersonal data, including version numbers of your server and floAuction, hardware capabilities, and ip info. If you are uncomfortable with this, go into your /plugins/PluginMetrics folder, change the "opt-out" value to "true" and restart your server.
- floAuction version 3 uses gravitylow's Updater functionality. You can disable it in floAuction's config.yml by setting "auto-update" to "false" or disable it for all plugins using that code in the /plugins/Updater/config.yml by setting "disabled" to "true". This Updater functionality contacts Bukkit's servers to determine if an update is available and installs it so.
- The GitHub for version 2 has moved to 2.x.x-archive as it is no longer under active development. The 2.x.x branch on GitHub is temporarily being used to develop version 3.
- A number of technical difficulties have corrupted floAuction versions 2.10.0 through 2.10.2, do not use these versions!

Commands
- /auction - Main auction interface, use "/auction ?" in-game for more information, permissions vary per functionality. Requires permission "auction.bid":
- /auc - Shortcut for "/auction" (v2.6.0+)
- /sealedauction same syntax as "/auction" but forces sealed auction. (v2.6.0+)
- /sauc - Shortcut for "/sealedauction" (v2.6.0+)
- /bid [bid amount] [max bid] - Bidding, all parameters optional. If [bid amount] is omitted, bid automatically becomes the current bid + minimum bid increment. In sealed auctions, [bid amount] is required and [max bid] is ignored.
Permissions
- auction.start - Allows creation of auctions.
- auction.bid - Allows bidding on auctions.
- auction.admin - Allows administrative functions including cancelling current auctions, suspending player's auction capability, pausing and restarting auctions. (default: op)
Setup and Configuration
This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt.
Click here to view a detailed list of all config options for floAuction version 2 and how to use them. As of the release of floAuction 3, floAuction 2 will no longer be supported. floAuction 3 has all the features that version 2 has, plus more!
Click here to see detailed configuration and setup details for floAuction 3. It is multiple pages, but if you take the time to go through it, you will discover that floAuction is by far the most powerful auction plugin available for Minecraft.
Development Participation
I sometimes upload development or "alpha" versions of my plugin to a folder on my own website. If you would like to participate in helping me make sure these major changes have been well tested before I make an official release here on Bukkit, feel free to visit http://www.flobi.com/projects/floAuction/files/ and download the most recent version available on that site. Read the readme file there before participating. I recommend against using any of these files for any server where you need to guarantee up-time or functionality, but only on development or test servers. If you choose to use these against this recommendation, do so at your own risk (though technically it's your own risk in any case, lol, I'm not guaranteeing anything).
Misc

Do you mean a version that's compatible with the dev line of craftbukkit or do you mean a version that has some halfway developed concept?
For the first, I'm not sure. I am considering it. It seems bukkit has decided to no longer have "recommended" builds when 1.4 came out, and it seems they may be retiring the "beta" builds as well since there hasn't been one of those in nearly a month.
For the second, I'm trying to steer clear of adding any new features to floAuction's 2.x line because I'm trying to allocate my floAuction development to the 3.x build. There's no 2.x code that's not already in 2.7.2, and 3.0.0 doesn't even run yet (I'm still hashing out the very base underlying classes), so there's nothing to post for this kind of dev built.

That's the same issue Curtis and I were discussing. Apparently they renamed the CraftItemStack class in CraftBukkit. This is in the dev builds, but the latest beta build is what floAuction is being build for. Once they release a new beta build that has the change, I will release a floAuction with the new class reference.
@GodSlayer5732
Thanks for the encouragement. I have no intention to give up and I'm actually trying to develop floAuction version 3 an entire rewrite.

Posted Dec 15, 2012I am not going to disagree with what the the sentence you quoted from whatever source it came from because I haven't looked into the dev version. It's entirely possible that floAuction isn't updated to the dev line. I don't have any intentions of updating to the dev line.
It isn't an issue that floAuction isn't updated to 1.4.5 though, and from what you said, it isn't an issue with floAuction being broken at all. You can see in the file list up there that floAuction 2.7.2 is designed to be compatible with "1.4.5-R0.2". If I were to rename these things to what the dev line uses, then it probably wouldn't work in the build that I've stated it does work in.
Once bukkit releases the next beta or full release, I will update my libraries, update my server and make any adjustments that are needed at that time. I suppose it's nice to know ahead of time that they're planning on breaking my plugin, but until that time, there's nothing here for me to do.

You need to add v1_4_5. (You need to add the latest bukkits for you to get the errors that need fixing)

They told me
"its floAuction not being updated to the Bukkit changes that renamed all those classes."
So yeh, with the bukkit changes, i need you to update ASAP

They haven't moved or removed the CraftItemStack from the github yet: https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/blob/master/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/inventory/CraftItemStack.java
I'm not entirely sure what to do to help you. I can't exactly code around a missing CraftItemStack. I didn't want to use it in the first place, but it's the only way to do certain things. If the next beta comes out with a missing CraftItemStack class, I guess I'll have to write around that somehow, but it might cause feature-loss.

Posted Dec 15, 2012Okay, I'm gonna go update the config info while I wait for 2.7.2 to get approval. 2.7.2 has the fix for the stacking of unstackable items. Basically, whenever an item was dropped that was not stackable, it was becoming a stacked item entity which stayed stacked when picked up. I don't know if it was a floAuction bug, per se, or if it is unintended at some lower level (Bukkit, CraftBukkit or Minecraft), but I've taken care of it as far as floAuction is concerned.

Thank you. I can't be entirely sure why you're getting that message. The message says that CraftBukkit has no CraftItemStack class and they certainly didn't remove the CraftItemStack class in 1.4.5 R0.2. I wonder if you possibly downloaded a broken dev build.
@Grave9912
I'm the only developer, so I saw no reason to set up a system that would produce dev builds. At this precise moment, there are zero code changes made since releasing 2.7.1. That's about to change as I'm looking into some of these issues.
@tygo246
Do you have a currency plugin installed? Also, if you could paste the error info from the log when this happens (http://pastebin.com/ is a convenient place), it would give me a place to start looking.
@brendanhf
I do remember. I've been looking into it and I've looked through all the code and don't see what would be causing it. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I haven't forgotten about it.
@WayGroovy
One of my plans for today is to update that document. I realized last night that there were a few entries in it missing. The auction-start-tax is a fee charged at the beginning of each auction from the auctioner.

Posted Dec 15, 2012What is auction-start-tax ? I don't see it in your plugin write-up.
I'd like to charge users a flat fee for starting an auction, to mitigate people attempting to auction a single stick, or other worthless items, for no dang reason.
