Info Market Issue

Folks,
As you have not doubt noticed, the market is currently having some issues. We have disabled the market to prevent further issues (loss of items, loss of myms, etc) while we work on a fix. This is related to a bug in the plugin itself and currently has no fix in the current release line that we use. We are exploring multiple things (going up to the 2.0 BETA, no market, etc). This post will stay updated as the issue is being worked on so we can all stay in the loop.

Thanks,
MyM

 

Will this affect items that were in mail-boxes or listed for sale?

 

I think that it may be best to stay away from global market if it is going to cause trouble perhaps we can find an alternate?

Or mabye players could lear how to use Forestry Trading posts :-D

 

I know on older servers I played on there was a market area where you could rent or buy a plot and create market signs, and those seemed very compatible with mods. Obviously things may have changed but it worked pretty well at the time. And to be honest I think it'd be more likely to promote sale. One of the problems with the Global Market is that it's not organized very well.

 

I see. I wasn't considering the NBT data part. I mean it would be more complex but tbh I think the server could benefit from having a market area as well, because it'd make selling general purpose stuff a little easier, and I think with the ability to customize, more players would be interested in doing so. And then keep the Global Market for things that are NBT heavy, such as Tinker's Construct items. I realize that would be complex so I'm probably wishing for too much, but if it were done I do think players would be appreciative.

Alternatively players could just do NBT complex things like Tinker's Construct items on request, but I don't know that that would work in all scenarios. AFAIK this could still work, but as I said, it would be complex. Personally I feel that it would be worthwhile to pursue, but it could be a big project.

 

This one doesnt have commands but uses chests instead, which could give players the option to create market themselves near spawn or something. And it supports nbt data QuickShop NotLikeMe - Bukkit

 

I don't think we should switch but was just posting a possible alternative

Both sets of items are tied up. The current solution I am thinking goes something like..
Put GM back up on current version but disable listing.
Return all items to players mailboxes
Players will have XX time to clean out their mailboxes
(maybe) Staff removes last mail and puts items in a chest in their claim
Clean GM folder
Upgrade to latest BETA version
Test listings

Again this is by no means what we are doing but just a thought process I was having. The alternative is to leave GM disabled for this server.

 

i use tradeomats at my claim for selling things i can see an entire server using tradeomats and the foresty trading post.

 

Issue is that some packs do not have forestry, or it is broken (TDT)

 

So far it's only this server having issues. It doesn't make sense at all. Alas, welcome to IT.

 

The issue on TDT is the forge fluid update broke a lot of mods, and the mod pack author did not test very well.

Just curious, what exactly is the issue with the market plugin? And what ideas do we have for the cause?

 

Yeah, if there were a better Market Area type plugin than I'd honestly really want to switch to that, but seeing as how GM seems to work, maybe not. Would it be possible to use the GM plugin to give each player their own shop, that you could put on a sign or just do /market <player> list?

I swear I don't want to make things complicated purposelessly, T_T

But to me it seems like players really would feel more encouraged to sell and trade items if they could have their own personal shop, in which they could organize or list many items at once, without cluttering the GM. I dunno, maybe it's just me.. but GM just feels so unorganized the way it is.

 

It throws SQL errors. It's documented on their GitHub and is addressed in 2.0.0 re-write, but that introduces a whole thing of issues. Plus the current data already in market that I need to get out and back to players.

 

My wishes and pity to the team working on this.
