Alternative to Showcase Shop

[chdsbd]

Since the Showcase Shop plugin creates specific world lag if not server wide lag whenever a large quantity of items are bought, I figured I would suggest an alternative that does not have the problems of Showcase shop.

Signshop is a plugin I think most people have seen on other servers and it is easier to use than Showcase shop to use: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/signshop/
It would also be great for players to easily create their own shops.

Bump...
The lag is very interrupting for game-play on any world, not just PvP. This plugin doesn't seem that hard to implement just for the survival shops as well as the wool shop and it would help a lot on the server.

I found a supposed fix on bukkit:http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/s...d-purchases-causes-server-lag-and-eventually/
Towards the bottem of the page one of the author suggests
"...open the config.yml. Set:
Save:
Delayed: true
Interval: 60
This will set the shops to save every 60 seconds, if something has changed. This changes the default behavior of saving after every transaction. Please test carefully, including shutdowns, shop removals, etc. I've done some preliminary testing, but can't really test it in an active environment. You may want to turn on transaction auditing while you test, to keep track of what is supposed to be."
Hope it works.

Anything to not enable noobs to crash the server while buying cookies would be great .

not compatible with the plugins and settings we use

meaning that if we load this, it will crash the server.

The author says that the plugin is only incompatible with essential signs. Anyways, since we use essentials, why don't we use their built in economy. It uses signs in a similar way as the plugin I suggested.

i have investigated this plugin in the past, and ran it on a server of my own with most of the plugins we use. it crashes every single time i try to add this plugin. and that is without essentials installed.

FYI i have tested pretty well all of the up to date shop plugins, and i have yet to find one that fits our current needs
