GUIM: Graphical User Interfaced Markets
GUIM is a plugin that allows multiple marketplaces to be set up throughout a Bukkit server. These marketplaces are interfaced using inventories instead of commands or signs. Advantages:
GUIMarket is designed as an alternative to sign markets and chest markets, and command marketplaces. Many players will not remember commands. Plugins that use a lot of commands can be confusing. More so, commands take away from the concept of the game itself. GUIM wants players to feel like they are accessing a real marketplace, instead of typing in lines to the computer. While sign based marketplaces and chest based marketplaces are useful for admins, they have some disadvantages which GUIM tries to resolve. First, if one item is limited to one sign/chest, they are not very space efficient. Secondly, some marketplace plugins are meant for server-side trading and not player-to-player trading. GUIMarket aims to allow admins to set up static trading stations and allow player to set up their own shops, all using very little commands.
So the only command that has been implemented is: /GUIM create [marketname] which requires the permission: "guim.create"
This lets you set up a market. I've added help books to help people get through the markets. Also, right now the item cap is set at 10. In the future, I'll make this adjustable.

The sticks are not a currency. They are a visual representation of the currency. Besides, with Minecraft 1.4 I can edit names of items, so I'm removing the sticks entirely

You could just have your currency called "sticks" (I'm a genius)

thanks for the interest :) I looked into using creative mode GUIs, and unfortunately i've been told that those are client side and bukkit can't touch them. Yes, I can change the buttons to sponges, but the problem there is that is removes the nice coloring of the buttons.
I'm working on renaming them, and I'll probably add a config file, so servers can edit what items they want.
As for the sticks, the idea is based around counting by ten. I used sticks because they hold no value. If you make the items emeralds or gold, I would be afraid of players getting confused about the meaning, aka, they might think they're putting something up for x emeralds, where the system works around a dollar-like currency. Once again, this item will be in a config file so you could change it to whatever you desire.

Posted Nov 12, 2012Hey, just a request. In the future can you make the buttons obscure things such as sponge so that servers can have custom texture packs to make this more user friendly? (We could re theme the 'Button') and is it possible to change the sticks to emeralds so that it makes more sense as money? These are just suggestions but this looks like a great plugin and I cant wait until its stable! (Also, I think there is some way for servers to do custom in game GUIs, not sure though)

Posted Nov 11, 2012Could you make a infinite shop for the admins to make that never run out and also could you make it that you rename the items with the price as the name.

Posted Nov 11, 2012Can't you rename all the items now in 1.4? So why don't you name your buttons?
