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

If they auction the wrong thing, they should be using /auc cancel, not /auc end. The reason cancel is disabled toward the end of the auction is so the server doesn't have to deal with the noise of people auctioning and deciding they didn't get enough bids at the end and wasting everyone's time.

Posted Feb 21, 2014Hey, so I want my players to be able to use /end on the auction. But every time someone tries that, it says "You cannot end an auction early". I go into the config, and the only way to alter this is through the timed and proportion which disables /end auc after so much time goes by. Even Ops on the server are not able to use /end auc. And this is regardless of the time allotted to the player to end the auction. Because I have tried it and have been well within 15 seconds that the config came preset to. Please help. I just want to make it so any player can end an auction within 15 seconds if they accidentally auction the wrong thing. Thanks. JUST KIDDING FIGURED IT OUT!!! THANKS!!!!

Posted Feb 20, 2014Oddly enough, I personally cannot reproduce the steps. I will speak with a player that abused this and see what I can get out of them.

I followed your directions (except I used Grim instead of Test because he has a cool skin) and was able to create a ghost apple. I attempted to auction the apple (in floAuction 2.10.3 as well as 3.alpha.0.4) and was happily informed I was not holding anything (by both).
I also found another way to make ghost items in 1.7.2 client w/ 1.7.4 server at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycHadQfKGBw , but I was unable to auction these either (in floAuction 2.10.3).
I was able to convince the server to change the ghost apple from your directions to a normal item (besides being renamed and having lore) by changing to creative mode, but it did not work on the anvil duplicated items.
I really don't feel like installing CheatEngine...but I guess I'll test that too. EDIT: I'm tired of playing with CheatEngine, but I can assume it acts like one or the other of the above ones. The ghost items are client side only, unless there's a way to make them server side, floAuction can't detect them and wouldn't be able to auction them.

Not without the information required as specified in the FAQ. Read the FAQ and reword your question appropriately.

Posted Feb 20, 2014I know that there are methods using cheatengine to create them, but I didnt have much luck. I am using a plugin called hyperconomy and hypermerchant and if you're using 1.7.2 clients rather than 1.7.4, buying items from the npc creates a ghost item. That was how it was discovered, then when I changed the way the shop worked, people started finding their own methods of creating ghost items.
But if you really need to replicate it HyperConomy HyperMerchant Citizens2
/npc create Test /trait HyperMerchant /setshop p1 Test /setshop p2 Test /hmerchant setshop Test
Open the npc and buy any item (Using the 1.7.2 client)
The ghost item will have retained the pricing information in the lore.
I will try to find out how people are creating the ghost items in the mean time.

Oops. I got your and Cameron141's replies backwards. I edited the comment to show what I really meant. Anyways, thanks for the version numbers. I'm curious more on how these ghost items are getting created. Google's not being friendly on them. Do you know how to actually create one, the steps to do the ghost item creation itself? If I can replicate the process of actually creating a ghost item, I might be able to detect whether an item is a "ghost" or not.

Posted Feb 20, 2014It's version 2.10.3 on spigot 1.7.2 build 1322. I didnt say it "isn't working" I described the problem, that floauction has a dupe glitch. It was mostly a warning for people not to use it until it's fixed.
To reproduce steps. Generate a ghost item, using cheat engine or commonly known existing bugs Put the ghost item in your hand (Usually unusable or disappears) Auction the item Someone else bids on the item They receive the ghost item as an actual item.

Posted Feb 20, 2014I've decided I need to stop getting so worked up about people not including error logs and version numbers. Nevertheless, it's absurd that I have to reply to every post asking for these things.
@Cameron141
There's nothing I can do without version numbers and error logs. Also, "isn't working," isn't a helpful description. Be specific if you actually want help.
@InsomniaCraft
I presume no errors are being generated, and I'd guess this would affect pretty much any version of floAuction, or any auction or shop plugin. Unless there's a way I can reproduce this, there isn't anything I can do.
@saxons12
Just PM me your email address and I'll email you a copy.

Posted Feb 20, 2014Just discovered a big duping issue in floauction that Im not sure can be prevented. If the player is using a simple program like CheatEngine, or can produce what we call a "Ghost Item", they are able to auction that item. It creates the item when the buyer receives it and is no longer a ghost item.

Okay, I'm not going to delete your comment (as I normally would because of the first point on the FAQ) to make an example of you. I've spent 2 fucking hours trying to figure out what you're talking about. Clearly absent from the McMMO wiki is the alchemy skill. So I'm like wtf is he talking about? Looking at page after page and finally, I stumble upon this: https://github.com/mcMMO-Dev/mcMMO/blob/master/Changelog.txt
You are playing a dev version of the freaking plugin and asking me to support it. I DON'T EVEN SUPPORT BUKKIT DEV VERSIONS AND HAVE SPENT YEARS YELLING THIS AT PEOPLE. If you had read the FAQ, I wouldn't have wasted 2 hours. I'm pretty sure you weren't one of the people who helped me get the 15 bucks I was asking for a couple days. In the future, include the version numbers of all relevant plugins. Don't expect me to be so cordial in the future; I'm just going to delete your posts if they don't demonstrate having read the FAQ (a statement which is actually redundant if you read the FAQ).
This request would be like you asking an arena plugin to support the features of the development versions of floAuction. It's simply absurd. Not going to happen.
That said, it was nice hearing from you again. I hope you have a wonderful day or night (whichever applies to when you read this).

Posted Feb 19, 2014Anyone participating in helping me test the alpha's, I've uploaded version 3.alpha.0.4.
Anyone wanting to, you'll note some wonderful improvements (which still need testing) if you review the change log. Check above in the description under the "Development Participation" header.
@saxons12
Let me know if you still can't access it. I'm not sure where I can upload it that you could see it.
