[Mod] Money (or Economy) [201207] [money]

[kotolegokot]

This is very interesting idea, but how do it?

[mauvebic]

single node stores wouldn't have inventories like chests. They'd be like zip-nodes: a single node containing within 100,200, etc. of the nodetype. We could have one meta (signlike) to set the prices, and a seperate meta (not mutable) to save the remaining QTY. the QTY would be displayed in the infotext, while the prices you edit like signs.

[kotolegokot]

What will store owner do, when he want take/give the nodes from/to store?

It crashed again, with this message:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

23:26:25: ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: ServerError: LuaError: error: /home/daniel/.minetest/mods/minetest/money/init.lua:64: attempt to compare string with number

It seems to crash whenever the /money command is used with a negative number.
This is the offending line:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

elseif amount < 0 then

Is "amount" a string? I really don't understand that command definition, sorry.

I hope there are no bugs in my mod.

[Menche]

"amount" is a number. Which command do you use?

It said "attempt to compare string with number" when it crashed. It crashed when /money pay player was used with a negative number.

[kotolegokot]

See previous post or just download and setup mod again.
And thank you very much for your great help in fixing errors.

[kotolegokot]

mauvebic, I read lua_api.txt and I know, how realize your idea!

[kotolegokot]

NEW BIG UPDATE! (See first post)

[mauvebic]

Nice :-) glad you figured out the singlenode shops :-) Could you do the same thing but in barter? exchange nodes for nodes, instead of for money?

[kotolegokot]

Thank you! Yes, I want do it in next update.

[mauvebic]

Dont thank me, your formspec gave me an idea for my linking books, ive been looking for a way to name the books and show who they belong to :-)

If you get the barter working ill include in nullspace (with your permission) :-)

[kotolegokot]

What is nullspace?

[mauvebic]

customized game mode, with a disabled mapgen, modified and additional default mods (link here). I figure barter would come in handy on maps with extremely limited resources :-)

[Nubelite]

when i try to access the one node shop i get this. It opens the black square in the top left corner and that's it. any ideas?

[kotolegokot]

Try use last version of Minetest. And you should download money mod again. In a recent version of Minetest, locked chest is working on another.

[Nubelite]

installed the latest stable release 4.1 and same result. Also using the github version of the mod link.

running ubuntu 64 bit if it helps.

[kotolegokot]

I think I fix the error.

[kotolegokot]

Added barter shop. See first post.

[mauvebic]

+1

[Menche]

Please keep older versions posted, my server uses the stable branch.

[Nubelite]

the update didnt help me sorry. So i decided to go a different route. I modified your original locked sign method so i can buy and sell to the same chest, where the chest can be hidden.

Download - includes modifications to the locked sign and money mod

Pictures:
Sign and chest setup
Sign Text setup
Sign Output
Sample Setup

Read me setup:
The chest has to be the 5th box below the Buy sign, and 7th box below the sell sign.

Examples:
Buy Dirt setup "Buy Dirt| B default:dirt 1 4"
shows as "Buy Dirt"
Sell Dirt setup "Sell Dirt| S default:dirt 1 2"
shows as "Sell Dirt"

How it works:
"Message shown| B/S itemname quantity price"
Message Shown = The message that the player will see when looking at the sign.
| = the symbol that splits the string up.
B/S = Enter in either B or S, B=Buy, S=Sell
Quantity = the amount of the item in the exchange
Price = the price of the item for the exchange

-------------------

hope you don't mind XD

[Menche]

Can you please put the old version back up? I need it for my server.

[kotolegokot]

I thought that everyone uses master branch. Now in the stable-0.4 I cannot use "button" in "formspec". I will keep older version.

[kotolegokot]

Nubelite, this take a lot of space. Wait for the release of new stable version.

[rubenwardy]

You could use Steel ingots or Gold to convert to money, so you can get paid for mining

[kotolegokot]

Currency is not a item.

[rubenwardy]

Currency is not a item.

I know. I edited the post to make more sense

[kotolegokot]

This mod focuses on the interaction between players. You can sell your Steel ingots and Gold to another player, so you can get paid for mining.

[rubenwardy]

How is money fed into the system?
If no money is entered, the total player money will stay the same so no one can get rich without every else getting poorer.

There needs to be a money input into the system.
