UltraTrader

Information

UltraTrader and Citizens

UltraTrader doesn't require Citizens to run. But it does come ready to integrate out of the box, and most extensions do currently require the use of citizens. UltraTrader will work with Citizens to create NPC traders, but if you don't want to use Citizens, you can easily make blocks/signs into shops.

Buying and Selling

Some notes on buying and selling:

• Owners will always receive items from their shop for free (FREE)
• Owners can never sell items to their own shop. Items placed into a Traders buy screen will just be returned.

External Plugins

As a way to extend Ultratraders without bloating the already sizable amount of code required any farther, I have started to create external plugins that extend UltraTrader. Some of these can be found on the Jenkins Site, but we aware that these are not bukkit tested yet, and may be full of bugs.

Working Extensions (not flawlessly yet)

• UltraRental - Create Rental NPCs
• UltraDenizen - Allows UltraTrader to work with Denizens
• UltraWorldGuard
  • Adds some requirements that can be setup by:
    • using required traits in limits.yml
    • adding required trait permissions "trader.limit.required.default.worldguardowner"
    • currently only adds "worldguardowner" (trader must be standing a region the player owns) and "worldguardmember" (trader must be standing in a region a player is a member of)
    • Currently should still work, but updates are suspended till I the new repo.
• UltraFrames
  • Currently will show randomly changing items that your shop sells
    • add ultraframe trait to NPC
    • right click with stick to select
    • place item frames and watch the magic.

Compatibility Extensions

These extensions are there to extend the compatibility of UltraTraders to more specific modes beyond the normal use of UltraTraders. Some planned extensions will likely be a bridge Extension for handling Bukkit->Forge communications, as well as NBT related code that I don't want to place directly into UltraTrader.

Metrics

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

• A unique identifier
• The server's version of Java
• Whether the server is in offline or online mode
• The plugin's version
• The server's version
• The OS version/name and architecture
• The core count for the CPU
• The number of players online
• The Metrics version

If you wish to disable this feature (/me cries), you can do so by opt-ing out, which you can do in the config file under /plugins/PluginMetrics/

Some Videos

If anyone wants to create a video demonstrating the use of UltraTrader, please PM me, thanks. I will be creating more as time goes on, but removed the out dated material for now

TODO

• command to allow Ops to not always get items for free from all stores
  • Currently I have removed OPs completely from the free sell list (OPs no longer get free items, or shouldn't)
  • Players can use the "/traderplayer toggleop" command to toggle paying at their own shop (for test purposes)
• Item to allow click to see shop information
  • The command is there (/trader info) but it does nothing yet due to forced update
• adding aliases: "/trader" -> "/ut" - "/traderplayer" -> "/utp" - "/traderadmin" -> "/uta"
• removing logging from ultratrader and using a extension plugin, to hopefully invite some members to add pull requests to add logging features.
