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 :-) ).

exactly, I mean a seperate "fake player", if you will. I imagine it like in "Cashflow", where you can create taxes that would pay the income to a specified player, also you can create a salary that takes its money from a specified player. So, in addition, you would have admin shops that take and give their money from and to a specified fake player.

What exactly are you using as a bank? A separate player named "ServerBank" or something? If you want to have some sort of other type of bank, you should look to an economy plugin, not a shop plugin. That goes well beyond the scope of what a shop plugin should do. If there is a plugin that already does this, it sounds like something we could work with.

but this could be something. I think if it is possible to keep the money players spend for using admin signs, you should do it. I imagine the money going back to a tax account or public account so admins could use the money to buy items for public buildings. Of course, this only affects very realistic servers, but I like the idea and I think there are a lot of those "realistic smp" servers out there. You should, however, be able to decide/change the name of the account and the plugin then checks for that account (e.g. economy account is tax, so you'd go to the config file and change "AdminAcc=tax" (-1) means the money goes into thin air).

Define "global." Those signs can only be made by admins, and only affect the world they are in.. Buying day, will only buy day for the world the sign is in, not the whole server.

You will need to have a permissions plugin if you don't want to use craftbukkit's built in permissions plugin. PEX, GroupManager, and bPermissions are supported.

What do you mean the time something is activated? As in, something other than 10 seconds for the lever?

Posted May 19, 2012I love to use the plugin and since it supports controlling levers that are a part of machinacraft, it all gets just awesome. I wonder if you could add a possibility to control the time that sth is being activated if you use [Device]? I found another plugin doing this, but I think why use more plugins when an already excellent one can do it?

Just replace: DisableEssentialsSigns: true With: DisableEssentialsSigns: false In your config.

Posted May 18, 2012Is there a way to use the essential warp signs with SignShop? The disable essentials signs option stops usage of it and its a pain.
