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 :-) ).

Device signs only work for redstone levers, so what you can do is create a simple redstone circuit to the iron door that's activated with a lever, and link the Device sign to that.

Hmm, it would appear that the DeviceOff sign is not currently working, but DeviceOn is. We will look into it.

Posted Feb 24, 2012Are the DeviceOff and DeviceOn signs sort of the same they way they work, or did I do something wrong? I put both signs up but it seems like they both do the same thing for me. Maybe the DeviceOff sign is actually a DeviceOn sign or something.

Hey, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, it looks to be a problem with the Bukkit coding. I just uploaded a version that works around this issue. As soon as it is approved by the almighty BukkitDev admins, you will be able to snag it up.

Very good point. Is there a chance you could make a ticket? Makes it easier to keep track of things that need to be changed for next release :)

Posted Feb 21, 2012This is a great plugin!
Maybe a couple of future features.
Can you save shops after each transaction rather than every 10 minutes? (And not fill the console with SignShop saved messages?
Some of our younger players can't resist putting things like $29.95 on the fourth line of the sign, and then of course things are free. It would be nice if SignShops handled this. If you don't want to decode currency signs, maybe ignore anything other than digits?

Infinite signs are made with [iBuy] and [iSell]. Also, you need to be using Vault, as stated in the description of the plugin.

You can make a custom sign in the configuration that does the same thing as an iBuy sign, but is called something else. Also, many people do not use dollars as their currency, and it would be very time consuming to code for every currency (including made up ones). You can always do something like this on your sign...
[Buy]
One Diamond
for $300
300
The Middle two lines can say whatever you like.

Posted Feb 18, 2012Hey! I have the plugin, but have two problems, when people see [iBuy] They think that the sign will buy THERE stuff. If you could make it hid the i that would make make me VERY happy! Also, can you make it so that you can put a $ in the pricing, so people know that it's in dollars! Thanks!

Indeed there is, just go to the config and delete the messages after iBuy: and iSell: and you are good to go.

Posted Feb 17, 2012Any way in future to make it so iBuy and iSell and gBuy and gSell dont spam the creators' chat. These make really good server shops, but can really leave some poor admin with a flooded chat log.
