[Plugin] - Visual shop showcasing

[Merikku]

My friend Rofii in Orion asked me to check this out and post it as a suggestion so I did just that, and holy crap is it an awesome idea!

Just imagine walking into a shop with chests, and above it theres a glass block with the item you're buying in it thats regionable (or even protected).

Thumbs up on this one, lets make it happen?

 

[KrunknMunky]

Looks very cool, but, wouldnt it be a little laggy in a big shop like airbus's?

 

[RedKhan]

Looks great, would be a nice aesthetic addition if it didn't cause any problems.

 

[Dazureus]

I only worry about the effects of leaving unneccesary entities out and about. The server still has to deal with all of them. Beyond that I like the plugin, it would make for nice shops.

 

[MajorasMask]

Yeah, stuff like this can lag a lot!

side note will Fix chest shop's storing non Shop items

Yes indeed it will.

As for the lag, I'm not sure what kind of lag you would get but i would imagine unless its a HUGE store, there shouldn't be that much lag.

Seems pretty damn cool. Shops would look so much better with the items shown. As for lag, that's up to Kainzo and the other admins to decide. Might cause some, might not, either way its a cool looking plugin.

 

[MajorasMask]

I doubt it would cause problems on a small scale. But then again..

This MOD would create the No.1 server lag fest in Airbus101's shop.

 

[Mitchodak]

Another side note it's capacity is infinite soo airbus wouldn't need multiple chest shops and it would be easier for him after her gets it set up with only having 1 shop per item

You have to remember that airbus isn't the only shop owner. Every town alone has at least 5 chest shops just for gold donations and sales, along with all those miniature shops along all 2,500 coords going north, east, south, and west. I know Orion has about 20 shops alone out front of peoples homes. Although it would be a nice addition; I would hate to begin using the pentagons bandwidth for our gameplay.

 

[MajorasMask]

The town I am in does not have 5 chest shops just for gold... O_O

I know there are a lot of chest shops around the four roads, but most of them are just abandoned. Either that or they have little in them.

Airbus101's shop however is quite stocked up and has about 1 of every item! :S

 

[Mitchodak]

It actually prevents the need for multiple chest shops as it cannot be filled full so 1 for gold at each town and I'm sure the lag it creates is local only not really a total system crusher

 

[MajorasMask]

Fair enough...

But then there is the whole process of changing the chest shops and how they work.. uughh.. that would take some time.

And what happens then if they eventually want to switch back to the current system? :O

 

[Mitchodak]

Yeah that's an issue but if it's not laggy and looks amazing + infinite storage space in shop + automatically stops people from putting other items in it, that one time switch over is worth it IMO

 

[Mitchodak]

Simple solution is @founder

 

[dragonzero39]

Just gave me a good idea for a skill. It will take some time to think of how to make it not too OP.

 

[Kainzo]

I like the idea of this, maybe I can convince the dev of chestshop to implement it.
