Github repo:https://github.com/arsdragonfly/advanced_market
License:CC0
Dependencies:money,locked_signs

Quick start:
Dig some dirt.
Hold the dirt in your hand.
/am sell 5
(sell these dirt at the price of 5$ each dirt block)
/am buy default:dirt 1 5
(buy 1 dirt block at the price of 5$, in this case the deal is then concluded)
/am refreshbuffer
(the dirt is in your "buffer", and you use this command to put it back into your inventory.)

Buy low , sell high and maybe become a monopoly! :D
This mod is still WIP and has many bugs to be fixed :P

New feature
Added vieworder (/am vieworder)
Added cancelorder (/am cancelorder <order_number>
Added viewlog (/am viewlog)
Added getname (/am getname) to get the engine name of the item you're holding, like default:dirt.

I recommend you change your commands to /am or amarket. Shorter.

Not to mean anything, but my money mod uses craftitem money, not virtual accounts, intentionally, because I don't like the virtual account concept, it is too easily tweaked by admin.

You can go into players/name.txt and edit their inventory.

For the safety of your personal account, you can use your "virtual" money to buy any item which you think is valuable.
Manipulating a craftitem-based market is as easy as /giveme blah blah blah and /am buy(or sell) blah blah blah :P
Also, virtual money can be easily divided. This is a great advantage as well.
E.g. suggest cobblestone worth 0.01$/brick , 0.01craftitemoney/brick, buying 50 cobblestone would be harder on a craftitem-based market.

You can't use giveme if you don't have the priv. Anyway, you could just give yourself 50 diamonds and sell them to the server admin and cheat that way.

Update and bump!

Updated. Now with fewer bugs.

Usually with stock markets you put limits on it, rather than a set price. Like, I want to sell for no less than £5. I want to buy for no more than £6 pounds.

That's the way it works. You can try it out yourself by wash buying/selling.

Mod updated with some tweaks/fixes.

Anyone can get it if it is in a chest.
A locked chest, on the other hand....

Can be edited with a mod to default_game and a priv.

Pretty cool. I'd suggest renaming "refreshbuffer" to something more user-centric and more intuitive, and possibly enhancing and breaking it up into smaller functions, with the understanding that the amount of stuff being handled by a user at any one time might grow quite a bit beyond test scenarios. Also an "account" metaphor might make more sense to many users than "buffer". Maybe something like:

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

/am deposit
-> Put 5 default:wood from hand into account (5 in stock)

/am balance

-> 5 default:wood

/am sell all default:wood for $5

/am orders

(It's pointless to worry about what admins can do. Admins control mods, not the other way around. While mods should be designed to make it difficult to accidentally do something destructive, they should ultimately be focused on empowering admins rather than limiting them.)
