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

Have you tried auctioning the tool right after the special ability ends? And also maybe this plugin is also conflicting with another plugin that edits the lore of the item? Check out Toolstats: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tool-stats/

I haven't actually been able to reproduce the issue. As long as mcmmo is removing the lore at the same time as it's removing the bonus, and it's not doing it in a separate thread, I don't see how this could be occurring.

The suspend state is retained during an "/auction reload" but not during a server restart. I do not know if unloading/loading the whole plugin with some plugin management tool would keep or loose this state.
@megasnipez_
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction/ Lots of healthy information in there (I should probably make that link more prominent).

Thanks! Also, will this suspend "state" save during reloads? Restarts?

The console should be able to execute "auction suspend" and "auction resume" commands.
@dotapurex1
I'll take a look.

If not, do you have plans to add this?

I think this plugin is interferring with out plugins such as "Tool stats" With those type of plugins, it sorta allows to bypass the mcMMO banned lore. Atleast that is what i think it is... Cuz sometimes it still allowed me to auc the tool with mcMMO ability activated?
Theres also another problem i just discovered, just right after the mcMMO ability deactivates, you can auction the item right away and it still will increase the efficiency Level.

A sealed auction is where no one knows what anyone else bid until the end. No one gets "outbid" because the winner is (effectively) chosen at the end. Example:
Joe auctions 64 dirt for a minimum bid of 20. Frank bids 20. Louise bids 50. Bertha bids 25. Larry bids 40. Navid bids 10 and gets an error saying his bid was not high enough.
The auction plugin tells no one whatsoever how much any other player bid including the auction starter and everyone waits till the end to find out that Louise won the auction at which time all the loosers get their money back, Joe gets 50 money and Louise gets 64 dirt.

Check the non-dev version.
@xphoenixxx
Yes I have. I don't want to use a simple IP address login like dynmap does because this actually deals with people's items and money. I haven't really looked too far into it though because I've had many other higher priorities.
@ManBeastPigDev
I hope you enjoy it, but why wait?

Posted Jul 7, 2013Ever considered generating a web front end for this?
Should be pretty easy - you could simply have a configurable path where it regularly writes a pretty html formatted list of the current auctions periodically - and at the bottom (or top) of the page have a simple summary of the game commands to bid/buy/sell. (or even auto ftp upload but thats a lot of trouble)
You could take it further to allow web based bids.. but that would require a lot of wizardry such as automatically detecting a users browser IP address and in game IP and using it to allow bids. (but realistically just the html catalog should be all you need if it includes the in game commands summary)

whatisit 1.3.6
floAuctions Your dev build you released: http://www.hollowmatrix.com/files/floAuction-2.9.0-dev1.jar
Spigot build number 996
Seems some of the problem fixed itself. now its a issue of the config file not being generated (made my own, and it somewhat worked)
It errors the first couple of times then works after that.

What are all the versions of all these things installed?:WhatIsIt, craftbukkit, floAuction. I don't officially support dev versions of craftbukkit, but I *may* be willing to take a look. (NOTE: If you say "latest" or "newest" as an answer to any of these, I'm ignoring your complaint.)
@rasnyderiii
I'm glad you do. It's been so long since I've had a real update to floAuction because of working on 3.0, my day job, my side job and now that I got laid off my day job...ironically right after ditching my side job in order to try to build my career at my day job...I've got plenty of time. Not really, I should be finding a new job, but they (my former day job) paid me for my vacation time I hadn't used for the year, so I'm taking a vacation for a tiny bit and programming what I want to instead of what I have to.
