Bukkit

if someone wants to put some quality effort into updating the plugin, I may be able to help somewhat or guide you, but I can't do the update myself.

there have been a lot of new items added since this plugin was last updated. it's not hard to add the item info and icon images. if someone wants to take some time to learn the format of the info file and add the images, please send me a copy or submit a pull request so we can add it. the files can be found here https://github.com/WebAuctionPlus/WebAuctionPlus-1.2/tree/master/www/WebInterface/inc/ItemPacks/default

as for me, I may still one day get around to working on this plugin again, if I ever can get around to it and feel up to it. if anyone else wants to try improving the plugin, give it a shot.

Hello, the plugin should still work with 1.11, unless they changed something in the bukkit api that broke it. as I remember it, they have broken the api at least once since craftbukkit ended. If that's the case, it shouldn't be to difficult to fix and recompile. If you do run into any problems, please submit a bug ticket so someone can look into it.

you do need a web server to use this plugin. a domain is optional, but is nice to have. the web server can be hosted from the same system as your minecraft server, or you can use a hosting provider in "the cloud". the web server needs php 5.6 but doesn't need mysql, it works best to keep mysql on the same system as your minecraft server and let the website connect to it there.

updating to php7 would be a good idea, if anyone wants to help with that, you're welcome to. but if you do make a pull request, please keep the changed lines clean and to the point, and logs describing what changed. clean code will mean the best chance of getting the pull request accepted.

I recently took a look into the minecraft client jar file. it's possible the way the images are stored may have changed since I last looked at this. does anyone know if there is an item icon stored in the jar for every sell-able item? in the past, it used to be a sprite sheet, and most items (blocks for instance) were only the flat images, and needed to be 3d rendered before they could be used to display an icon. if all the icons are in there now, I'll work on a program to extract all the icons and item info automatically, then finally not have to manually add all the new items.

if anyone wants to add all the new items since 1.8 I'd gladly accept a copy of the files to put in the plugin, then I'll work on updating to the latest bukkit version.

as for a 1.9 update, anyone willing to work on it?

what needs to be done: mainly just adding new items and updating the default item pack. the .php file is just a specially formatted text file. figure out the item id's for new items and add the information to that file, and find or make some icon images, these can usually be found online. all images the same size and with a transparent background. changes to the java part of the plugin usually aren't needed, except for bug fixes. if anyone wants to submit a bug fix pull request, keep it simple and clean and maybe it'll be as easy for me as a single click to accept and merge.

if you do submit a pull request on github, please keep it clean and properly formatted and free of errors. keep it focused on the intended changes and only change what needs to be changed. follow the existing format and be careful and maybe we can have a smooth pull request and a new update to the plugin.

I did want to improve the economy support. this is some fun code to write, I worked on it more than once, but I've never submitted it to the master branch. it does make many changes all over the code, so as fun as it is, it must be done right to avoid breaking things. basically a scheduled task on the java side to accept transactions from a queue database table, and update a cache of the players current balance in the players database table. on the php side, check the players cached balance to be sure they have enough, then submit a + transaction to the queue for the seller and a - transaction for the buyer.

anything else for the todo list? who wants to help with what? send me a pm or just send a pull request.

if you're having trouble connecting to mysql, and you're sure you set the host/user/pass correct, my guess is you're connecting to a remote server. if you are, then you must set the ip address of the remote server in mysql in the allowed remote hosts. by default mysql will only allow connections from localhost 127.0.0.1 and anything else you must explicitly set.

If you are having an issue with the server shops throwing a null into sellerId here is a fix
open file: /WebInterface/inc/classes/logSales.class.php.

Look for the line that reads: public static function addLog($lo........ (and so on) Under this
and above the $query line add the following line: if(!$sellerId){$sellerId = 'ServerShop';}

I tried to make this as simple to follow as possible.

do you have any suggestions to make the /wa password command more user friendly? going back to the old way the command worked is less secure, so not an option to go back.

hello mr frost, I don't think this has been asked specifically before. yes, you can change the names of items or the icon images to anything you want. if I remember this right, items that are renamed in game will also display on the website and will restore to the item when withdrawn.

the tekkit item packs were an incredible amount of work to put together (thank TheNytangel for his hard work) but sadly as soon as the next version of tekkit came out, the item pack was far outdated. it becomes a huge task to keep that many items updated. I looked into automating it, to generate the lists of items and the icon images, but a bit more complicated than it sounds. to generate the images, you can't just copy and paste from the sprite sheets. many items have complicated geometry, which means we need a client mod to find and call the right class methods in the running mods themselves, generate the item icon image, then save it to a file. once this is done, it would be easy to generate new item packs for the latest mod-pack versions, or even for custom texture packs. a few clicks and upload to the web server. but getting there is difficult.

there's a setting in the WA_Settings table of the database. look for the language line, I think the setting is fr for french, then you'll need to restart the mc server. the website will update to those changes immediately, although the multi-language feature hasn't been finished on the website.

@tahrll

is there a bug ticket open for this? not sure when I can get around to looking at this, maybe someone else can.
