    Hello :)

    After a long walk home after I missed my bus, I started formulating an idea about a possible trading plugin that could be written and introduced to the ImDeity server.

    Basically, at the moment when players trade, items and money are exchanged. I have never traded an item for an item and I don't think many people do. To encourage this kind of trading I came up with a chest trading idea.

    Basically, there is a special type of chest that two players can interact with. Instead of one window of inventory slots, there are two on top of each other, where one belongs to each player. You can then place items in that chest and see what the other person is placing in. However, you cannot take the other players items before both players click a 'confirm' button once each side is happy with the deal.

    Also, I propose having a chat window in the chest interface so that players can talk alone without the interference of other players interrupting.

    I believe that this will encourage players to trade X amounts of diamond for X amounts of wool instead of X amount of dei.

    Well I think that is all, feel free to post your ideas and criticisms.

    Thanks,

    Bilko

    it would be an amazing idea but i have a feeling since most people who play online games like this have also played mmos, and have traded there where the interface is similar to what you described. Im assuming this wouldnt be a simple plugin, am i would guess admins of many economy driven servers have thought about an idea like this before. would love it, reminds me of diablo 2 style, wouldnt keep my hopes up though.

    Yeah, probably really difficult, still, if you look at what iconomy can do with signs (Withdrawing money and dispensing a product from a chest) then I believe it could be possible. If it could be developed then it would be cool for it to be an exclusive ImDeity feature!

    I know of someone in the community who made something similar. I'll show him this and ask if he could tweak his slightly.

    I like the idea. Would be cool, but it would be hard and they still have to get the mall and stuff back up. Still, cool idea.:)

    Sweet as Eltono! Thanks a lot :D

    And yeah, I guess the Mall is the priority at the moment in terms of economics.

    Also, would this be some sort of a craft-able item? or would there be a place near spawn where everybody could trade?

    GUI modifications.. hard, but possible.
    I still think that the old-fashioned player trade system is still the best, however we could use secured trade rooms, like in the old (flying) capital spawn.
    This will reduce the player trade thefts (we get to see them alot).
    ps. Trading IS still at your own risk, I'm just thinking out loud. :]

    Maybe craftable, not sure :p

    Yeah, thought the GUI might be a problem, in particular the text box?

    Thanks for the input! :)

    I think this would be awesome, and also think its funny how you missed the bus :D
    I don't always like the idea of having to use dei to buy everything, but trading would be great.

    I would agree but Deity probably wouldn't allow trading gold anyway. If you noticed he set a cap on the gold you can sell before the price of it starts to go down, and the rules are currently that you cannot use gold with any deals. :(

    thats not true, you just cant publically advertise the selling of gold, you can trade with town members or if you happen to know the people usually trying to buy or sell it. i know of several people that would buy all of mine but im not a miner, im a politician

    I absolutely, wholeheartedly support the addition of some sort of protected, inter-player trading system. I too am a longtime MMO player, and I have been a mod-equivalent back in the olden days of Everquest, and I know just how much trade scams took up our time there - I hate to think how much it happens on Minecraft servers without some form of protection.

    I dearly hope that something like this is added tot he development timeline, behind classes, malls, and so on!

    Exact a post by Vershye yesterday states that selling gold is OK within Local chat or town chat ONLY
    Also he says that Main Spawn Local chat is considered "global" since so many people go through it

    This would have to be a mod rather than a pluggin cause you need to add gui to the client to see the chat in the 2 chest trade center as you described. When I get better at programming i'm going to try to make a Imdeity Client with van's permission to have posted somewhere on the site ^^.

    Well, we already have the auction plugin. Perhaps this could be modified to trade items.

    Example commands:

    /offer trade [item ID] [amount]--Offers items
    /offer view--------------------------Views both yours, and partners offer.
    /offer accept------------------------Accepts both offers and completes trade
    /offer decline-----------------------Declines both offers and ends trade
    /offer start [playername]----------Begins trade with player


    *Command descriptions are bolded.
