floAuction
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

Posted Jun 2, 2013Sorry if I've missed this function already - if it's already here ignore this:
If a player bids within the last 5 seconds of an auction, the countdown should go back up to a certain time (10 seconds or so) so people can't bid at the last second and leave other players no chance at winning.
EDIT: Does it happen to be the "anti-snipe-extension-seconds" node?

I'm pretty sure that "/bid 0" does the same as "/bid". Don't really see a reason to remove it.
@secretjuna
I already am the only plugin of note for auctions. I take pull requests. I don't get pull requests, but I do take them. I do also give credit in my history list. All the code I've written is available online too.

Posted Jun 1, 2013Maybe instead of re-writing the whole plugin for separate worlds to work with multiverse, you should create a new plugin called FloAuctionWorlds or something ;) I can NOT wait for this. You will be the only plugin.
Currently my auctions in survival and pvp are together, which makes for bad balance sometimes. I cant wait for that to change. Let me know if you need any help.

Posted Jun 1, 2013Here is the configuration page: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction/
@Davyhalliday
"broadcast-bid-updates: false" in config.yml should do something similar. Been a while since I wrote that, but I think it only broadcasts updates to people when they get outbid. Try that and see if that suites your needs.
@simen90
If you used "/auction suspend", execute "/auction resume". That should solve your issue. Otherwise, it sounds like a permissions issue.
@killertudse
"anti-snipe: true" in config.yml does exactly this. Search the config page linked above for "anti-snipe" to quickly get to that section and you can customize the lengths of time involved. The default values generally work pretty well for most people from what I can tell though.

Posted Jun 1, 2013Suggestion:
Add a function so if someone places a bid, the auction time increases with a few seconds!
It's annoying when players bid in the very final second to win.

Posted Jun 1, 2013Sorry for bothering you guys but i have 1.5.1 version on my 1.5.2 version on CraftBukkit but how do you unsuspend auctions because i Suspended it on some way and before that i could auction something away but when some players (private server) tried to write /Bid it said YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION FOR THIS, or something like that, how is this fixable? and can it be that it doesnt work because i have a 1.5.2 server?

Posted Jun 1, 2013Is there a way of only showing the initial auction broadcast and not time left/bids unless an interested player types a command to recieve all notifications about that specific auction?

Posted May 31, 2013@megasnipez_
cancel-prevention-percent: 100
That would work, but you might want to change the can't cancel error message in the language.yml file.
EDIT: I don't recommend disabling cancel. People have to type all this stuff out and sometimes there's accidents. If you're having an issue, I might recommend increasing the value to 75, or adding an auction tax starting tax, or suspending abusive auctioneers temporarily. There are a few things I would try before resorting to disabling cancel.

The most intensive parts would be the beginning and end of auctions, but I've never seen any correlation between lag and auctions. I've never personally benchmarked for performance and have no idea how to. I vaguely remember a couple complaints about lag early in its development but nothing at all like that this year.

Well, you'll have to specify it by it's data value. I'm assuming you have WhatIsIt installed, you can use "/wis" while holding the potion you want to ban (if you have the default configuration) to see the data value.

Posted May 25, 2013Major bug, if people log out during the auction and they log back in after...they'll get the money back and the other person will get it too. Plus the winner will get the auction goods as well.
