SignShop v5

SignShop allows you to set up physical shops by punching a chest with your items you want to sell, then punching a sign (while holding redstone dust). It's easy to set up, and even easier to customize!
This plugin requires Vault and a vault compatible economy plugin.

Extending SignShop with other Plugins
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Vault | Works with all standard economies (EssentialsEco, iConomy, BOSEconomy, Gringotts, and more) and permission plugins (LuckPerms, Permissions 3, bPermissions, PEX, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermission (and defaults to OP permissions, if you don't want to use a permission system)). |
| For sign and chest protection, though SignShop has built in sign protection. | |
| Use the worth.yml for dynamic sign prices by putting [worth] on the bottom line of the sign (must be enabled in SignShop config) | |
| SignShopGuardian | Save your inventory when you die. |
| SignShopHotel | Allow players to rent rooms for a period of time. |
| dynmap | Show shop locations. |
| Multiverse | Supports Multiverse worlds. |
| WildcardCommands | Make SignShop run commands for all players online. |
| Towny | Use Towny banks and only let players make shops in Towny shop plots. (Thanks ryvix!) |
| WorldGuard | Respects build permissions, and you can only let players make shops in regions with the allow-shop flag. |
| ChestShop | Convert from ChestShop format to SignShop format by just punching the sign with redstone. |

Example SignShop

This is an example of how to set up a [Buy] sign with SignShop. The sign above is linked to a chest containing items. In this example, it will sell an enchanted pickaxe for 600 Waffles (Waffles are our server's currency :-) ).

There is no way to display a timer on a SignShop sign. If you had some sort of plugin that already had a timer, you could have a SignShop sign run the command to start that timer, or display the time left on that timer. I'd suggest you check out the Quick Reference if you want to learn about triggering commands with SignShop.

SignShop will automatically make backups of your sellers.yml It's called sellers.bak. All you have to do is rename it, and hopefully you didn't lose everything :-) Make sure to always backup your server files regularly though, because not all plugins will make backups for you like SignShop does!

Posted Feb 7, 2013Our server computer recently had a glitch and the system ran out of disk space (stupid linux!). When it did, a lot of plugins lost some data, like Essentials and Signshop. Now, although the signs still are colored properly, the shop data has been lost and none of the shops work anymore. I assume this has something to do with the sellers.yml file? Anyway, it's not your problem that our system bugged out or anything, but is there any simple-ish way to fix the shops? Clicking the chest and sign with redstone doesn't appear to work, and I REALLY don't want to have to rewrite 100+ signs.

Your economy plugin is rounding those values, not SignShop.
@HammerCraftMC
Our plugin prints "[SignShop]". That option cannot be changed.
@mal67
Open a ticket with the exact steps to reproduce. I'm not sure I follow.

Posted Feb 7, 2013odd.... i have a setup on my server where a player would buy and sell wool in their shop. when one chest (lets say black wool) is out of stock, all other buy signs say they are out of stock (red text) until you punch them and they come back. but the moment you hit the out of stock sign again, all the other in stock ones turn red again.
has anyone ever has this issue before? and if so, how would we fix it?

You don't have anything that says &6[ServerSigns]?
That's what it kept telling the player in the video.. is that old?

Posted Feb 7, 2013Great plugin, though I have a question. I'm trying to setup an iSell Coal for $1.50 though it rounds it up to $2 whenever something is sold instead of $1.50. Do I have to go in dollar increments?
Thanks!

What version of the plugin are you using and what version of craftbukkit?
@HammerCraftMC
You don't use any commands in our plugin, all of the transactions take place on signs. Have you tried using FancyText already? What prefix are you talking about? We don't have anything that prints "[ServerSigns]".

Posted Feb 5, 2013Also could you please add support for FancyText?
It's like SignColours, but much better.

Edit: Can I also change the [ServerSigns] prefix?

Posted Feb 5, 2013Wow.
I've been looking for a shop plugin for quite awhile now. I think this is the one.
One thing, can you customize the global server prices for people buying them / selling them to the server? And is it /iBuy or /Buy
Thanks! - The HammerCraft Team

If you are buying and selling from yourself, you will always end up with the same amount of money after a transaction.
@datamann10
Easy fix. Enjoy the plugin.
