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 :-) ).

It's not that easy, otherwise we would. Getting access to the data is the problem.
@Qballl
Are you sure it's just WG that's the problem? You don't have any other protection plugins? Is it in a spawn chunk? I think the flag that blocks it is "use" or something like that.

At least you can just copy NBT tags on iTrade. All of them.

NBT tags are a huge headache to support. We would have to change our plugin every time a new version of minecraft is released, and it would be incompatible with any other versions of minecraft. Because of that, we do not support NBT data.

Posted Dec 3, 2015I'm having problems with GregTech batteries when using [iTrade] or [iBuy]
I'm getting used batteries instead of fresh.
Battery charge stored in NBT tag so player gets item with empty NBT storage.
Could you please add support for NBT tags in iTrade?

Hotel time is real time. Guardian should give back you every item you had, including equipped armor. I don't actually know if it will give back NBT data stuff though, I've never tested.
Permissions for those signs work just like the permissions for SignShop signs.

Posted Dec 2, 2015Hey there, me again :)
two short questions. first one: The time period of the SignShop Hotel, is it real time or minecraft tick time? second: The SignShop Guardian Plugin, restores only the inventory or also stuff i wearing like armor (and maybe stuff from other plugins) and also the quickbar?
Thanks
ah yeah and is there a permission for the guardian and hotel sign?

SignShop does not support NBT data, which those other plugins and mods are probably using.

It also looks like one of your .yml files was not parsing correctly. Always check your server logs for this sort of stuff. Usually you can figure out the problem pretty quickly. Glad you got it working.

After tinkering with this again i have found my own problem i launched a second game of minecraft. I had to log out and close all the minecraft browsers i was running and it fixed the issue. Hopefully this helps anyone who was having the same problem. Try completely exiting out of Minecraft to see if that fixes the problem

The bad news is, you're horribly inept. The good news is, we can fix that. Once you start your server for the first time with SignShop in your plugins folder, the folder with the config file, quick reference, and anything SignShop needs to function will be created. Most plugins work like this. If your folder ISN'T created, then you have some other issue, like the disk being write protected or out of space or something. Let us know if you have any other problems.
@blinddog1066
Yeah, so we have what's called a [Restricted] sign. With a [Restricted] sign you list the permission group(s) you want to have access to some other SignShop sign on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines, then punch it with redstone, and punch the sign you want to restrict. You can do this for any number of signs. Most people usually keep the [Restricted] sign nearby, so users know what groups they have to be in in order to use the sign., but it doesn't HAVE to be nearby. Also, you can use the same [Restricted] sign for multiple other signs, like if you wanted to have a bunch of different kits for the same permission group.

Posted Nov 9, 2015This is an awesome plugin! My only question is about KIT signs. When I had originally setup kit signs using Essentials I was able to have different KIT signs for different permission levels. I was wondering is there a way to do this?
Example I want a level 1 person to get some wood tools Level 2 - gets a iron helm and iron pick ax
etc.. They could do it only one time and it was free, and based on the groupmanager level

Posted Nov 9, 2015I run a server through demonVPS. I attempted to download this plugin to create shops on the server, but all that downloaded was a .jar file rather than the regular file folder that contains the config file. is there a fix for this, or am I just horribly inept?
