Plugin Support
for economy, currently dependent on one of:
- iConomy
- BOSeconomy
- Essentials
- MultiCurrency
- (or Vault)
also supports:
- Permissions
- SuperPerms
- Spout
- Help
configurable
- Fully configurable colors and message text in config.yml file
- shoplist can have text alignment (read config for more info): <item> <l(eft-aligned)> <buy and sell info>
- uses minecraft font character spacing, so is very close to perfectly aligned in chat
- shoplist can optionally not show listing tail (or head, but recommended to leave <page> of <pages>)
- Items can be colored in the new itemsdb.yml file
- items can also be assigned custom names & aliases
- also in itemsdb.yml: kits!
- define your own kits that the shop can sell
- three examples provided, edit and add to your liking
- Configurable Options:
- max pagesize when printing shoplist
- whether to broadcast all transactions publicly
- name of the pricelist file/table
- customsort: a custom sorting order, so you can have items at the top of the shop list
- allowbuyillegal: if someone without BetterShop.admin.illegal can buy illegal items
- whether maxstack should be honored
- if used tools can be bought back
- default color for items
- and more!
shop flexibility
- shopcheck will run a name comparison check, and return all matching items
- Item sub-type support for dye colors, cloth colors, etc: magentacloth = 35:2 = cloth:magenta
- "all" is a valid amount when buying or selling: "/sell cobblestone all" or "/sell all cobblestone"
- damaged tools can be resold for an adjusted value of sellprice*(1-(damage/maxdamage))
- buystack can be given multiple items, or number of stacks: "/buystack wool 5" or "/buystack wool blackdye reddye"
- shopsellall can be given multiple items (/sell all cobble gravel flint dirt)
- plural-insensitive items: if not found, will check if plural & remove "s"
- not just items can be bought anymore: can now buy LivingEntities, like dogs (wolf)
- signs can be used for buying & selling
- first line: [BetterShop] (not case-sensitive)
- second line: action: buy [amt], buyall, buystack, sell [amt], sellall, sellstack
- third line: item (name, id, etc)
- fourth line: can define a custom price (if amount = "all", per-unit, else for total cost)
- to activate, someone with BetterShop.admin.makesign must click the sign.. the first line will change color when active
- left-click for price check, right-click to buy/sell
- if a unauthorized player destroys a block a sign is on, is canceled
- item categories
- can search for items by category (in shoplist)
- players using Spout (if installed & enabled) can use a GUI Menu for buying & selling
- default button is 'b'
- displays items in shop in top half
- item detail below with # in stock, buy/sell price, & buttons to buy & sell
- amount to buy/sell can be set in text box or with up/down buttons
administration
- Every item and subtype can be priced differently
- Disable buying or selling of an item by giving it a price of -1 (0 makes it free)
- command aliases to stop carpal tunnel
- many commands have sub-aliases.. eg. shoplist kits will run shoplistkits
- MySQL pricelist support
- MySQL pricelist can be cached for a given timespan (decreases table selects) (flatfile is cached until manually updated)
- Transaction records (MySQL or flatfile as .csv)
- Downloads mysql-bin.jar dependency automatically
- buy/sell cap in program set to 999,999,999 (not that you'd be using that much, but the cap is to prevent other errors)
- can backup the current pricelist: /shop backup
- can restore from backup: /shop restore <file>
- can import new prices in a batch from a csv (or old yml format) : /shop import <file>
- on start, can check the download page to see if there is an update available
- shop can be given a finite stock from which to buy & sell
- /shop ver[sion] to check the current version & see if there's an update
- /shop update to manually download & install the most recent version
- checks for missing & unused configuration nodes
- strings have default values if missing
- help main page integration can be disabled
- global shop can be disabled & only allow signs to be used
- can use permissions to define discounts for certain users
- uses nodes in "BetterShop.discount.xxxx"
- nodes defined in config under discountGroups
- ex: discountGroups:
- VIP: 10 # gives 10% discount to players with BetterShop.discount.VIP
- support for bukkit permissions
- built-in support for "BetterShop.(user|admin).*" nodes, so you don't have to add all of the other nodes
- plugin tracking - please keep enabled so i can see how many actually use this and if it's even worth maintaining

@robxu9
I have iConomy. Doesn't that include Register?
Bettershop worked wonderful before 1.1-R3
@devatrox
Do you have Register?
@robxu9
Your build generates an error while loading.
Bukkit 1.1-R3
I wanted to add Potions, but i cant get them into my Table.
The SQL table doesnt let me define subvalues over 8000 wich I need for the Specific potions.
Hi, awesome plugin! But I got a problem: I'm using ths spout shop GUI (looking good), but over the "Buy ... for ... dollars" it says: "Your text here". Must be a really stupid question but where can i remove this? Thanks!
I use the latest Snapshot ;) Didnt know of the unofficial Dev builds, Thank you, Ill try it out :)
@Patrick_Janson
1. Why are you on 1.1-R4-SNAPSHOT? 2. Try an unofficial dev build to see if that works: http://build.lincomlinux.org/jenkins/job/BetterShop/
CraftBukkit removed "MONSTER" so now I have a monsterproblem with BetterShop .. :p Can you fix this?
@labouche10
OK almost perfect, seriously. $30 donation headed ur way as soon as /scheck lists the amount of available stock for the item in addition to standard info!!
Obviously only when you have finite stock enabled..
Great job!!
Ifor some reason im getting missing dependancy errors even tho i have iconomy and group manager. console says missing an economy plugin
For those of you having problems with the economy support, try my build here:
http://build.lincomlinux.org/jenkins/job/BetterShop/
(I've also sent a pull request so it hopefully should be pulled upstream soon)
EDIT: BTW, it's untested. If there's things that aren't working I'll try to fix it...
(My next priority is to get Vault integration into this thing to get rid of all the items DB and such)...
OK to both jjfs85 and jascotty2 HOLY HELL. This is the most well thought out and structured plugin I have ever seen. You can customize EVERYTHING. Congrats on this. It is implemented and I'm going to test it out for a bit on my server. If it continues to work as well then I will definitely be making a donation to the cause.
Thanks!!
how do i sell a map i keep getting you can only hold -2?
This was working fine for me, then it randomly started telling me I was trying to buy to much. 'you tried to buy x to many' 'you can only hold 0'
2.1.0 works for me on 1.1-R3, 2.1.1 does not.
@tiguerazo
I don't know what to tell you. Vault hooks into Register if you're not using something supported with Register itself. BetterShop should hookin to Register properly - I think it might not be in this case... Let's see if a new update is forthcoming :D
@robxu9
It was working fine until the new update. Ive even tried downgrading to the previous version but it still doesn't work. Every other plugin im using is working with iConomy except for bettershop
@tiguerazo
So it's a BetterShop problem then. :c (Disclaimer, I haven't updated to the latest version >_>")
@robxu9
Yes i do.

Do you even have Register enabled? I have the following in my server.log when Register hooks into something:
http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4664/
If you're on linux, give me the output of "cat server.log | grep Register".
