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

I really can't. It's a decent size task, I think, and my workload (at my actual paying jobs) is too much for me to make any promises here.

Yeah, I'm not really a permissions expert, but it seems to work for everyone else (let me know if I'm wrong about that, general public). Are you getting any errors? What permissions are you using? Etc.

Posted May 16, 2013Sueper-uper feature request!
Can't you make this plugin work in only one area? Give it a WG custom flag and in that region, people are able to issue plugin commands and hear the auction anouncments.
So players go to "/warp trade" and then they can sell and buy items. This would stop chat spam and most importantly disable many bugs that can be generated with this plugin. (Because it interfears with other plugin on my server, items can be duped.)
If something like this is done, I would like to donate a considreable amount.
Thank you!

You'll have to be more specific. I happen to enjoy watching the madness at the end of an auction, and participating sometimes. Nevertheless, there are probably already configuration options to do what you need. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction/
Both min-auction-interval-secs and anti-snipe could apply to what you're saying, but I'm not certain which is what you need.

Posted May 14, 2013Maybe add like additional 10 seconds for each bidder? Because at the end auction ends with people trying to /bid at the last milisecond to win :P

Actually, the plugin is awesome anyways. It would be more awesome if it allowed different worlds to have different auctions. Wish I had time to do that.

Not on a per user basis, but you can set a delay between auctions in general by setting, "min-auction-interval-secs" in config.yml.

Posted May 7, 2013Love the plugin. Is there a way to add an option to limit how many auctions someone can do, as in you can only do one every 5 minutes?
Thanks

@sjustin1996
Already in the under consideration list. Don't take this remark negatively, being suggested multiple times makes things more likely to move to the planned list.
