ResidenceSigns
ResidenceSigns
Version 2.10.0 is out now!
(Download may be delayed due to approval time)
Instead of making your players use "/res market rent Town.HouseName", allow your players to right click signs to rent and buy land, or put down signs to set up renting or selling with the Residence mod.
Language Change
If you want to have ResidenceSigns translated into your native language, copy/paste the template found here, change the statements that are in quotes to your native language, and PM it back to me!

- Updated to CB1.3.2-R2.0
Version 2.5: 7/31/2012
- Fixed the issue with the NullPointerErrors spamming on the automatic sign update system. For some reason occassionally blocks were calling an NPE when trying to acquire their State. The sign will now remove itself from the Plugin.
- NOTE: This will not as of this moment remove the ACTUAL sign as its pulling an NPE for the block, I will have a fix for this in a later update.
- Fixed the issue with sometimes ResSigns calling NPE's when trying to acquire the Residences AutoRepeat variable. Thank you Bekvon for fixing this.
- NOTE: This MAY require the Dev version of Residence as the fix is not actually live but implemented in their current Dev build.

Version 2.4.1 : 6/26/2012

Version 2.4 : 6/25/2012
- Changed the task that updates signs to run more effectively, as faster.
- Tweaked the loading in and saving of signs to hopefully keep the signs.yml more effective.
- Switched a few variables that should hopefully help fix issues with false set reatables to work correctly with the Signs as well as fix any NPEs that were still occuring.
Version 2.3 : 6/4/2012
- Fixed a check for players trying to unrent Residences when their name was too long to fit on the sign, method now checks Renting Players' Name. Sorry!

Version 2.1 : 5/2/2012
- Fixed issue where certain sign creation exceptions weren’t getting saved into the signs.yml.
- *NEW*Added finally the ability to call and set Residences as false for Auto-Renew Rentable on sign creations! YAY! (Testing on this feature is appreciated to make sure I got the write call methods from Residence since they were recently added).
Version 2.0 : 5/1/2012
- *NEW* Totally revamped the way ResidenceSigns handles the signs by using some flat yml files to also store Sign data(signs.yml). This new feature allows for much better sign control when Events get thrown from Residence. It is highly advised to not touch this file for any reason.
- *NEW* ResidenceSigns should now automatically update upon Residence Events occuring, either by "/" commands or if rent expires and player can't afford or the autorefresh is set to false.
- NOTE: Not every exception has been added just yet as I was quite excited to get this release out to all of you!
- *New*Added New config.yml node for Unrenting on Sign Right-Click. NOW STOP QQing ABOUT IT! :P
- Readjusted the temporary fix to the sign by changing it to left-click updates. By left-clicking the sign if it is rented but not displaying that, it will update, and vice versa if not rented but says it is, will fix as well.
- Added German.yml to default written languages for the Alternative Language system.
- Added smoother components to the conversion methods, if you have still yet to convert to v1.4+.
- Adjusted Config.yml Handler to even better recognize Out of Date Config.yml, and to update it.
- Adjusted the LanguageManager to better handle writing new alternative language.yml's.
- Massive Code Cleanup, a few methods combined for more effective code.
Permissions!
ResidenceSigns now has Permissions support via Vault!
- rs.admin - This node gives the player permission to place/break ForSale and Rent signs regardless of ownership. Defaulted to OP.

Posted Mar 28, 2012I'm sorry, I was talking about signs :P Signs are "Schild" in German, so I messed up and called them shields... my fault. It was 5am :(
I've changed the comment so other people don't get confused, too...
Edit:
Once again talking about that renewable-issue:
I don't really understand why you actually need the getRenewable method from residence.
The problem occurs when you unrent the residence by touching the sign - in other words, you already know the location of the sign (or even the reference to the sign-object) and can easily retrieve its text. I don't know much about Bukkit's API, but I do know that there are methods to get the sign's text: http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/org/bukkit/block/Sign.html
If the sign has set the flag to "false", it should still be present in the 2nd line... So actually, this information is available without much effort during the unrent-operation.
Excuse me if something's wrong, as I said, I don't really know much about the API... thats just what I figured in a few minutes :)

I don't know what these shields are that you are referencing, if you could be more clear as to what a shield is, that would be helpful.
As far as the rentable "flag" on the sign, defaultly it is false if u set it to false, but the fact that it switches to true when unrented is not a bug. This is because there is actually no getRenewable method from Residence, I have messaged bekvon asking for it and he said he'd get around to it, but due to the way the sign works its hard to get the variable from the sign, so until the get method is implemented from Residence itself, this will remain setting to true. But I will update this as soon as the method becomes available.
As far as making signs automatically update, why would you not use the signs to perform these actions anyways? Simply destroying the sign pulls a Residence from the Market, making it unrentable. I have been looking to implement this feature for the minimal use it has. I can simply store all signs in a HashMap inside a HashMap, but I have not done so because of the amount of effort vs. the very minimal use of it was not really pointful on my part, with time better spent coding the baseline of my newest plugin =P.
EDIT: Still not sure what shields are, but found the issue with creation, just a misplace ! in a check. rs.admin should work in the version im uploading now.

Posted Mar 27, 2012Hey there,
I have 2 bug reports so far:
- The Permission-Node rs.admin is buggy. If I have it, I cannot create signs for other player's residences, but I can break them. If I don't have it, its the other way round.
- The Renew-Rentable-Flag in the sign has no effect. If its set to "false", the residence will also have the flag set to "false", but people can still click the sign to unrent the residence and it will become "true" anyway.
I hope you can fix that soon, since you did not provide your source code :P
Also, I wonder if the following is possible: Could the sign post be updated automatically when the residence's status changes? (from rentable to not-rentable or the other way round)
I mean, you could store the location of the signs for each residence in a HashMap for example (on creating them).
Edit: That would of course mean that there needs to be a new status, [Not Rentable] :)

Posted Mar 26, 2012Hmm, I have suddenly lost the ability to put a residence on the market using a sign. It registers fine if it is already on the market via /res commands. Any idea what I am doing wrong, I followed the wiki tutorial to the letter, tried leaving the second line blank and putting in the name. It is probably linked to my Residence permissions setting or something but I checked I was the owner. Just posting here in case anyone else has had this problem or might be able to enlighten me. It worked fine when I was using v1.2.
Edit: Mystery solved; the second and third lines for renting are the other way round now, so 2nd line is rent details: 1/1/true and 3rd line is property name or blank. This makes much more sense to my way of thinking but you should update the wiki so other people don't bother you with the same problem ;).

I wont be adding any money returns options of any of that shenanigans. ResidenceSigns simply takes Residence commands and makes them easier by turning them into sign commands. If you don't want annoyed players, tell them to stop clicking everything.
as far as the Max Rents issue, ResSigns only attempts to rent, and changes the sign on successful rent from Residence. All commands are still filtered through Residences limitations.

This provides me literally no information. Also, ResidenceSigns does not use any Economy, all the Economy transactions are handled through Residence.
Edit: This is probably the Residence message telling you you don't have Economy enabled in it's config.yml.
ya, that good ^-^

Posted Mar 24, 2012I have found an odd bug. Can't tell you if it is from the latest update because I only just tried this. I wanted to test remove buy/rent status from a property by removing the sign. I walk into my residence get the message "Welcome Llamageddon to A, owned by Llamageddon." go to remove the sign and get the message "ResidenceSigns: You Are Not The Owner Of This Residence.", sign beaks and turns blank but stays there and property is still for rent.
I checked my logs and I did have an error with residence signs about 10 mins before, I think it was caused by me doing weird things with defining subzones and deleting residences but not sure, it definitely wasn't caused when I tried to destroy the sign, I get no server log errors when I do that. Will post error details in a ticket in-case it is related. (I have restarted server and reloaded plugins since and had no new errors though still have the sign destroy bug mentioned above).
