Notable Features!
floAuction has too many customizable features to reasonably put on the main page here, but here's a list of notable ones.
- Full language customization, even (with the use of WhatIsIt) item names themselves.
- Auction house, silent auctions, sealed auctions, countdown suppression, individual opting-out of all auctioning, and many other "spam" limiting features!
- Reserves funds (i.e. removes them from the player account), ability to disable auctioning damaged and renamed items, full item details displayed, and other abuse and scam prevention features!
- Percent of winnings or price per auction taxes, limits on max's and min's of different auction aspects, banned items list and other economy protection features!
- And, finally ss of the release of floAuction version 3: Auction scopes. The ability to designate world grouping and create multiple auction houses, each with distinct language and config settings.
A list of main features, complete, in progress, planned and under consideration can be found here. Specific per-version history can be found here. And GitHub here.
Important Notes and Disclaimers
- Before commenting, read the FAQ!
- This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt, make sure they're installed if you want floAuction to work.
- floAuction uses PluginMetrics to create pretty graphs and charts on mcstats.org. All the data uploaded to their site is impersonal data, including version numbers of your server and floAuction, hardware capabilities, and ip info. If you are uncomfortable with this, go into your /plugins/PluginMetrics folder, change the "opt-out" value to "true" and restart your server.
- floAuction version 3 uses gravitylow's Updater functionality. You can disable it in floAuction's config.yml by setting "auto-update" to "false" or disable it for all plugins using that code in the /plugins/Updater/config.yml by setting "disabled" to "true". This Updater functionality contacts Bukkit's servers to determine if an update is available and installs it so.
- The GitHub for version 2 has moved to 2.x.x-archive as it is no longer under active development. The 2.x.x branch on GitHub is temporarily being used to develop version 3.
- A number of technical difficulties have corrupted floAuction versions 2.10.0 through 2.10.2, do not use these versions!

- /sauc - Shortcut for "/sealedauction" (v2.6.0+)
- /bid [bid amount] [max bid] - Bidding, all parameters optional. If [bid amount] is omitted, bid automatically becomes the current bid + minimum bid increment. In sealed auctions, [bid amount] is required and [max bid] is ignored.

Setup and Configuration
This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt.
Click here to view a detailed list of all config options for floAuction version 2 and how to use them. As of the release of floAuction 3, floAuction 2 will no longer be supported. floAuction 3 has all the features that version 2 has, plus more!
Click here to see detailed configuration and setup details for floAuction 3. It is multiple pages, but if you take the time to go through it, you will discover that floAuction is by far the most powerful auction plugin available for Minecraft.
Development Participation
I sometimes upload development or "alpha" versions of my plugin to a folder on my own website. If you would like to participate in helping me make sure these major changes have been well tested before I make an official release here on Bukkit, feel free to visit http://www.flobi.com/projects/floAuction/files/ and download the most recent version available on that site. Read the readme file there before participating. I recommend against using any of these files for any server where you need to guarantee up-time or functionality, but only on development or test servers. If you choose to use these against this recommendation, do so at your own risk (though technically it's your own risk in any case, lol, I'm not guaranteeing anything).
Misc

I don't always play Minecraft, but when I do, I play on:

@Curtis4321
Thanks for understanding. I was up till 5 this morning working on that thing...sux in one way, but it's $400 (just from last night) so in another way it doesn't suck. I was disappointed that I couldn't get it done in time, but hopefully I only have one more hour on it. I'm hopeful to get that and this both done this evening, but I want both done right, so I'm not making any promises about getting a new floAuction file up today (but I'm hopeful).
@incredinex
Ok mate ;) when ever u can would be smexy <3
@Curtis4321
As I said, I was hoping to get it tonight, but there was one other issue (not a bug, per se, in floAuction, an incomplete function in bukkit) that I was trying to work around. Not quite complete. Really close, but it needs more testing. Maybe tomorrow, but honestly, I have people who are actually paying me who want something done tomorrow so it may be further in the future...though probably not past this weekend. I'm not expecting anyone is really going to donate $300 (usd) up front to make this a higher priority than my other thing.
@incredinex
ok thank you man :D
@Curtis4321
I'll see about doing that tonight maybe.
@incredinex
Sweet :)
Any ETA? <3
@Curtis4321
Yes, like I said, it already does that. Use "/auction off" and "/auction on".
I also added an alias so "/auction ignore" will activate this. Once the next version is released (anything after 2.4.7), you can use that too.
@levisn1
For now, just ignore it. floAuction creates the file when it needs it, until then, it's missing when it trys to open it. I honestly don't remember telling it to do a stacktrace. I've removed it in the source and in the next version, you won't see the error.
The stacktrace itself (including the "SEVERE" warning) won't cause any problems and will only show when starting your server.

2.4.7 of FloAuciotn..why i have this issue?
@incredinex
Yeh, Just like ShakyToms 1 basically, as alot of my players would like the auctioning messages off :3
@Curtis4321
This seems very much like the existing "/auction off" and "/auction on" functionality. Currently off has the following aliases: stfu, quiet, off, silent, silence. Please let me know if this is what you're looking for. If it is, I will likely consider adding "ignore" to that list of alias's.
@fungreenfox
Best I can tell, you're describing the intended functionality.
The starting bid is the minimum amount the first bid can be. After that, the min bid increment specifies how much more than the current bid in order to be successful. So if someone specified a starting bid of 150, with a increment of 10, the first bidder can bid as low as 150.
In the format of your example: a is selling dia sword for 150, and minimum bid (increment) is 10. b is first bidder, and bids 155 (but could have bid as low as 150). c is second bidder, and bids 170 (but could have bid as low as 165).
Make sense?
There is something wrong here, with this plugin.
a is selling dia sword for 150, and minimum bid is 10.
b is only bidder, and bids 5 above, so 150+5=155 and wins the sword.
This should not be possible when minimumbid is 150+10=160!
Suggestion
/auction ignore
Alittle bit like tom has on his server ;)
@ShakyTom
Didn't realize that was happening. I made a Ticket based on your comment.
Thanks for fixing the sync issue :)
Any chance of a fix for messages only intended for one person being sent to everyone on the server if that player goes offline?
@incredinex
Okie dokie thank you :)
@KevinEssence
There is a "max-bid-increment" config option. It defaults to 100, but if that's too high or too low for your economy, feel free to adjust it.
EDIT: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction/
Is there a way to change the automatic bidding? Like if someone puts an auction up for 1 dirt for 1 cent but puts increment at 10K. When someone bids that 1 cent, the next bid automatically takes the 10k from the 2nd person if they bid because of the increment. Or do I just put max increment lower to partially solve it? ;]
@incredinex
I updated xD
