Ah, I did not even think about schematic creation when writing my last message, that is indeed a big lag causer if it happens for a big region. What exactly did not happen before? If you had schematics set up in an older version of AreaShop it would do exactly the same. Is the problem you have that if you place a normal sign that has nothing to do with AreaShop that it lags? I don't think AreaShop would cause lag for things like that, could be another plugin doing that. The timings report is showing very high numbers for signChangeEvent for AreaShop because you accidentally added some big regions, which cause schematic creation and that takes a second or two. If you create a report with while only placing normal signs then I think AreaShop should have a very low numer there.

Yeah I see that the new Vault is released, the 1.4.1 version already works with the Spigot 1.8 build though. So are you just trying to notify me that the new version is out or is there some kind of problem with it?

@ForbiddenGlory

What exactly are you having trouble with? Am I right that you want a big region and then small regions inside of that which are registered as buy or rent in AreaShop? The important part is to set these small regions to priority 1 or the big one to priority -1, that way the AreaShop regions will work correctly. It is hard to help you if I don't exactly know what you want or need help with, so if you still can't figure it out then please describe what you want and what is already working.

@TNTUP

So you want to blacklist regions because sometimes you place a sign outside of a regions which causes AreaShop to accidentally add one of the big regions? The global region will never be used by AreaShop unless explicitly specified on the sign. That is because the WorldGuard methods that return regions at a certain location do not include the global one. Actually excluding regions from being used is not possible currently, it would be something to look into though.

If you don't specify the region on the signs then AreaShop is going to ask all regions at that spot from WorldGuard and then checking to see which one is best to use (highest priority and childs instead of parent regions). That could cause lag if you have a lot of regions or if WorldGuard is slow. If however a sign is placed that is not meant for AreaShop (the first line does not match the config setting) then it will do nothing and should not cause any lag at all. Do you use flatfile or SQL for saving the WorldGuard regions? Someone else had major lag spikes when doing something in AreaShop because WorldGuard took a long time to react because of an SQL setup.

I don't think the high number at the signchangeevent mattert too much, it will only be like that when you are adding regions (which I assume you don't do every minute). But if I can do anything to improve the performance of AreaShop then of course I will do so.

@tk11

Nice that you got it working correctly.

@Ironic8b49

It is indeed in the video, but you can't remember everything from that after watching it one time, that is why the comment section here is available :)

@tk11

I currently run Vault 1.4.1 myself and have no trouble at all with it. Do you also have an economy plugin installed that provides the economy to Vault? That is needed because Vault only connects the economy providing plugins with the economy using plugins, acting as a consistent interface for plugins to connect. For example I'm using EssentialsEco as the economy provider (for Spigot you need to use the Essentials and EssentialsEco versions that they provide, and not the ones on BukkitDev).

@Ironic8b49

There is an easy solution for your problem, you can simply change the tag that AreaShop should look for to register buy regions. In the config.yml file there is a 'signTags' section, here you can change the line with [buy] to something else (could use [abuy] or something). Then after a restart/reload or use of the '/as reload' command AreaShop will not interfere with the Essentials signs anymore.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

@ForbiddenGlory

If you send me the details of your server (ip/hostname) so that I'm able to join then I can help you (use a private message if it should not be public). I can't join now though, because I'm going to sleep soon. I'm available tomorrow between 15:00 and 21:00 GMT+1, so then I could try and help you. Maybe it is also handy to send me your Skype name, then we can talk to eachother tomorrow (and know when we are both online).

Actually creating their own regions (within certain boundaries) and selling/renting them to other players is not possible yet. The thing that is added in the last update though is the reselling of regions. So if a player bought a region (that is setup by an admin), then he can use '/as resell <price> [region]' to start reselling this region to another player. That would change the sign to something that looks like the [For Sale] sign, but then with [Resale] on the first line (configurable of course like the other sign layouts). Then when another player decides to buy this region (by command or right-clicking the sign) it will transfer the money from the buyer to the original owner and changes the owner to the new player.

The reason why the system to let players create their own regions and signs is not added yet is simple: It is a lot of work and quite complicated. Not that I'm lazy or something (check the massive changelog of the previous update), but it really is a lot of work. One other concern is that this is really advanced use of the plugin, and probably 90% of the users would never touch it.

Some of the things that should be implemented to support this:

• A way to decide where players can create their own regions (for example only within regions they are owner of)
• A way to limit how many regions the players can create (you don't want them spamming regions and pollution your server, possible fix would be to only allow 1 AreaShop region at the same spot and define some sort of minimum region size)
• Adding the possibility to add signs to their regions for advertising purposes (otherwise other players don't know they can buy terrain there), could be just the normal forrent and forsale sign layouts, but special ones would be better (to let players know they buy this region from another player and not from the server admin).
• Providing ways to the 'land lord' to manage permission for the regions he sells (only use the region, build and use, basically access to all WorldGuard flags)
• A way for these 'land lords' to manage their created regions (kick players out, remove regions, change settings for them, would need changes to almost any command)
• Coming up with a way to handle the situation for when the land lord stops playing or does not have access to his land anymore (got banned for whatever reason for example). Would need a way to transfer ownership and get things up and running again.

And then I'm probably still forgetting a lot of things. Another point of concern is that all these things will add complexity to the plugin and probably also a lot of extra config options. So it should be well thought out to keep it easy to use for server owners that don't need these features. Quite a long story about this, but I hope it is a bit more clear why this is taking time and needs a lot of work. But I agree that this would be unique for the plugin and a good 'selling' point.

@Sinuce

Yep the warning system is implemented. Warning on login when the players has a region with a leftover rent time below a certain threshold is in there (default.yml -> 'rent.warningOnLoginTime'), and also a system that sends warnings at specific 'rent leftover' times when the player is online (config.yml -> 'expirationWarningProfiles'). You probably already found those things, but others might not have :)

@AllTimeAmy

Het gebied dat je hebt aangemaakt met WorldGuard word deze ook weergegeven in de lijst als je '/region list' doet? (Kan meerdere pagina's hebben). Als hij niet in deze lijst staat dan is er iets fout gegaan bij het aanmaken van het gebied, probeer het dan opnieuw met '/region define <naam>'.

Kijk ook even in de log bestanden van je server of er errors zijn bij het opstarten van de server of later bij het gebruiken van AreaShop. Check ook of WorldGuard, WorldEdit en Vault correct worden geladen.

Als je nog problemen hebt stuur dan even weer een bericht, ik zou eventueel ook je server kunnen joinen om even te helpen (stuur dan even je ip in een prive bericht).
