remove old broken method for config
allow multiple names per commodity
add commodity suggestion on misspellings
add new config method
- allow per commodity enabling and disabling of trade-ability
- allow per commodity configuration of names

There are significant changes in the way commodity information is stored and the way in which the config file is used and its format. I have not yet written any sort of 0.1.x.x to 0.2.x.x conversion tools. As of right now, if you want to keep the commodity data (for example the current prices) which you have, you will need to look at a new database file, look at yours, and then manually convert it. I think this pretty much involves just changing the 'name' of each commodity to the appropriate 0.2.x.x format.

ChangeLog

The change log can be found here.

Database Manipulation

For now, the easiest way to add or remove items is to use a sqlite editor. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitedbrowser/ has been recomended by missingscrews. Sqliteman is my preferred alternative.

Player Commands

/buy: Buys an amount of the specified item; Usage: /buy cobblestone 128
/sell: Sells an amount of the specified item
/sell all: Sells all sellabe items in your inventory; Usage: /sell pork 7
/price [item] [amount (optional)]: Checks the price of a specified item; Usage /price diamond
/market [top | bottom | list]: Has three uses, 'top' and 'bottom'. 'top' returns the top 10 most expensive items on the market. 'bottom' does the same for the least expensive items.; Or 'list' to show all available items on the market; Usage: /market top

Config

Longer Description

When first run, DynaMark will create a database of items which are available to sell. All items start out with a value of $10 and this will go up by $0.01 for every one of the item bought. The reverse occurs for every one of the item sold. You can modify this database as you see fit.

Using a database will, of course, be optional ;)

Not true, I host my own server myself, so I get everything I need for FREE!

@gearsgod, better host needs better money, but I don't see so many sponsors around.

I am testing this plugin at present. I miss a feature of 'drift' the price to the medium during idle time. I mean, if an item is not sold or bought during some time, the price starts to move slowly to the medium value. There are some items eg. wheat (generally plants) which are mostly sold, the whole players income goes from that, but after a while the price is at the minimum and left there forever, what is not good. I would like that if there is a big supply in short time, the price goes down, as it is, but after some time it may go up to the basic medium. Same thing if there is big demand for an item, the price is going up, but after some time it would go down to the medium.

You really should get a better host if they don't give you MySQL,

and yes if he also made it so it used SQLite, it wouldn't be to hard as after hes done with supporting MySQL he just needs to add COMMIT and BEGIN TRANSACTION to support SQLite.

I can't use mysql on my rented server, so leave us an option to use flat file or h2.

can you make it so it is configurable as so even once something reaches 0.01, as soon as someone buys it, it starts going up in price again instead of having a item wait list amount?

this seems silly to me to have a item wait list.... also make it when u add mysql, so that each player can see how much he/she has bought/sold of each item.

I think, if you want it to work the way you are expecting it to work, you should have the spread and changeRate set at the same number.

If (spread > change rate), prices will drop faster than they rise. Spread is a feature that does this because some people want this to happen. I've seen it described as a 'money sink' and can be used to make it more difficult for people to 'play the market' to get rich.

If (spread < change rate), people could make money just from buying items and then selling them right away.

if (spread == change rate), there is no 'money sink', and the only way people can make money from buying and selling items is to buy an item at a low price, wait for others to buy the item, and then sell the item at a higher price.

To accomplish this, you should add an item to 'config.yml' in the 'DynaMark/" folder.

Here is an example from my own config.yml:

birch: value: -4.93 number: 17 minValue: 0.01 maxValue: 10000.0 changeRate: 0.01 data: '2' spread: 0.01

Notice that the relevant options are identical to a typical 'wood' entry (number: 17) except that the 'data' option has a value of '2' instead of '0'. (the ' are important)

2 is the byte data value for birch wood. You can find more about the byte data for various items in the minecraft wiki under the Data section.

please remember, when editing config.yml

Do not use Windows Notepad, Use something like Notepad++
Do not use tabs, use 4 spaces.

I will look into it as a solution to the 'multiple names per item' work which I'm about to do.

Would it be possible for this plugin to implement the itemsdb that plugins like essentials use for the /give commands? This way users can use aliases/partial names. Also, the prices would be much easier to edit if it was a sqllite table or CSV file.
