    SupplySign is now on dev.bukkit.org! Go there for the latest versions, a dedicated support forum, and ticket tracking system: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/supplysign/

    SupplySign - Infinite Items Distribution via Signs (now with dispenser support!)

    Use this plugin to distribute items and blocks to your players by creating [Supply] signs that load a chest interface when right-clicked. These signs can also be placed on chests.

    Download: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/supplysign/

    The Basics:
    • Place a sign
    • Set the first line to [Supply]
    • On each of the remaining lines, put the name(or item id) of the contents of the supply sign
    • Right-click the sign to open the chest.
    Chest Sign: To place a sign on a chest, make sure it is not within one block of another chest. Place your supply sign on the ground next to the chest and it will attach itself to the chest after you are done editing the sign. Right-clicking the sign or the chest will display the contents of the sign. If you want, you can put two signs on a large chest.

    Dispensers: Attach a sign to a dispenser in the same way you would attach one to a sign. The inventory of the dispenser will always be full of whatever is on the sign. If you use a kit, or if you put multiple items on the sign, only the first will be used. Remember that dispensers require redstone to activate, so it might be a good idea to wire up the dispenser and test it before attaching the sign. If the dispenser doesn't work without a SupplySign on it, then I can't help you (I'm no redstone expert).

    Using Kits: To use a kit, set the first line to [Supply] as usual, then put "kit:" followed by the kit name on the second line, ie. "kit:wool".
    Default Kits: wool, dye, woodtools, woodplus, irontools, ironplus, diamondtool, diamondplus, goldtools, goldplus, desert, makecake, chainmail

    Permissions:
    • Ops and players with the "supplysign.create" permission will be able to place supply signs.
    • Ops and players with the "supplysign.access" permission will be able to access them.
    • Ops and players with the "supplysign.destroy" permission can destroy existing supply signs.
    • Ops and players with the "supplysign.reload" permission can trigger a reload of items/kits data.
    • Players with "supplysign.access.kitname" can access the kit called "kitname".
    If you don't use permissions: Only Ops will be able to place SupplySigns. There is a config file option that will allow non-op players to access signs, but not place them.

    Data Files: After the plugin has been loaded for the first time, a "supplysign" data folder will be created in the bukkit plugins folder with two files in it: items.csv and kits.yml. You can customize these files to add new kits or modify item names. Use "/supplysign reload" to load your changes without restarting the server. NOTE: When editing these files, make sure the format doesn't change. On Windows, use something like Wordpad. There has been a report that OpenOffice can change the files in a way that breaks the plugin.

    Config File: Used to configure the ShowErrorsInClient, FixSignOnSignGlitch, and AllowNonOpAccess options. Check out the (automatically created) config.yml file for more info.

    Screenshots:

    Thanks:
    This plugin was originally based on the [Free] sign code from Essentials by Zenexer. Without his hard work there would be no SupplySign plugin. Thanks!
    Also thanks to vitaminmoo for testing this plugin and developing the kits.yml format.

    Version 0.7
    • Initial release to the world.



    If you have problems: Check the diagnostic messages from SupplySign on the server console. You should see something like this when the plugin starts up, or when you use /supplysign reload :

    08:01:07 [INFO] SupplySign loaded 1092 items from items.csv.​
    08:01:07 [INFO] SupplySign loaded 16 kits from kits.yml.​

    If you see something like this:

    07:55:53 [INFO] SupplySign error: while parsing a flow sequence; expected ',' or ']', but got StreamEnd​
    07:55:53 [INFO] SupplySign loaded 1092 items from items.csv.​
    07:55:53 [INFO] SupplySign loaded 0 kits from kits.yml.​

    Then there is a typo in your kits.yml file and zero kits were loaded because of it. Unfortunately Yaml is a bit touchy about typos.

    If you can't figure out what's happening, post a capture of the SupplySign console output and attach your items.csv and kits.yml files to a your post so I can try and reproduce the problem. A screenshot of your sign could be useful as well.

    No, sorry. The permissions either allow access as much as desired, or not at all. So if a user has "supplysign.access" permission, they can take as much as they want from the sign. If they don't have permission then they will get an permission error on their screen if they try to access a sign.

    Would it be possible to make it so if players had a permissions node of say, 'supplysign.once', they could only claim one kit per sign or kit-name?

    Perhaps log the names and kit-name to a file?

    I can think of a couple ways to accomplish this.. I'll consider it.

    Don't know if anyone else has noticed, but it seems any sign with words on it, when right clicked, brings up an inventory. Haven't placed anything in it, but this is with the latest Bukkit and the v.11 of Supplysign.

    Wow, you're right. That is a major bug. I'm going to pull version 1.1 for now...

    UPDATE: Version 1.2 is out with a fix for this bug. NO ONE should be using version 1.1. Sorry for the inconvenience..

    Is it possible to have sign support for large chests?

    Not currently. It's more work for a purely aesthetic thing, so I haven't bothered.

    i would love if it had iConomy support, so it can also be a sort of shop maker if you wanted to ( because i do ) :p

    Can you make it so that sign+chest uses the chest inventory rather than the one the sign would normally have.

    That + DropChest = Easy item disposal

    I'm not sure I get what you're saying. Can you give me some more detail?

    When you attach a sign to a chest and then use the sign or chest it would use the chest's regular inventory rather than the sign's inventory

    DropChest can suck items into a chest if you drop them within a set radius, so if you make a sign on a chest with SupplySign and give it DropChest it will be like a trash bin. It would suck in the items then when a user accesses the sign or chest it would set the inventory to whatever the sign says, deleting the items that DropChest picked up.

    hmm, good plugin but can you get it to work in essentials groups because I don't like permissions 2.55 :), even if it does work I can't can't it too work, so my guess is it doesn't work?

    freshollie

    *edit turns out [free] doesn't work if you have a protected area, only [supply] works soz

    Could it be possible for you to add a feature where you can ran say a chest with a sign [supply] test, then have a sign further away saying [supply] test, and they would be able to access each other? like run one on the same frequency.

    I submitted my URL to NoFear13, so hopefully he will add it to his list soon.


    This is an idea I had a few days ago. I think it deserves to be another plugin entirely. A friend of mine came up with the name "TeleChest", which I think describes the concept well. Not sure if I'll have the time to build this, but I've been considering it.

    Yes! Thank you!!



    Couldn't you just set the two signs to the same kit? or would this be set up so that you could put things into the chest and access it from other places?

    The idea that I had, which I think P3MC was getting at as well, was two chests that are linked, so they share the same inventory. Put stuff in one and take it out of the other.

    Another thought I had was similar, but instead of sharing the same inventory, the transfer was one way. So there would be "sender" and "receiver" chests. Put some "receiver" chests in your base and carry a chest and a sign down into the mine with you to make a "sender" chest. Then you can send your diamonds or gold or whatever back up to the base, and if you die, it's no biggie. Lots of other possible uses as well.

    Gotcha! Makes sense now!

    I do like this idea. I personally wouldn't use it, but my clients might...

    So is that a no to large chests? a couple of my denizens have asked me about it, and I'm interested as well.

    Thanks!

    @redsgreens

    I'm able to use the slash commands in-game, however, when creating a sign with [supply], it acts like this plugin isn't even there. Any idea why this might not be responding? The only thing I have edited in the config file is clearing out the kits.

    What CraftBukkit build are you running? I haven't had the opportunity to test it with the latest Recommended Build. I'll try that, and see if maybe there is a bug when the kits file is empty.
