    Documentation

    Add a shop to ShopDB:
    Code:
    /shopdb list <region>
    Remove a shop from ShopDB:
    Code:
    /shopdb unlist <region>
    Integration - how is ShopDB updated?
    Each time a player interacts with a chest shop, the chest shop data is captured and sent to ShopDB.

    Interactions include:
    • A chest shop is created
    • A chest shop is opened and closed
    • A chest shop is used
    • A chest shop is destroyed
    After each interaction, the chest shop information (including the shop owner and region information) is sent to and updated in ShopDB in specified intervals. By default, shops are updated every ten minutes.

    Usage - how do I add or remove my shops from ShopDB?
    By default, all chest shops are hidden. Two criteria must be met for chest shops to be shown:
    • The chest shop must be in a WorldGuard region.
    • A region owner has listed the region.
    To check if a chest shop is in a region, go to the chest shop in-game and type: /rg i.

    To see if a region is listed, visit the regions page and search for it. Under the region name is an indication of whether or not it is listed. If the region is not displayed, ensure you have unchecked the 'Hide Unlisted Towns' option.

    It is also possible that the region is not yet in ShopDB. Regions are now sent to or updated in ShopDB after a chest shop within it has been interacted with, or after the region has been listed.

    Subregions - how are overlapping regions handled?
    Sometimes regions overlap. For example, all the chest shops in the market are also in spawn. In ShopDB, chest shops are linked to only one region. In this case, the following criteria is used to select which region the shop likely belongs to:
    1. The region which is listed will be linked.
    2. If no region is listed, or both are listed, the smallest region will be chosen.

    In most cases, this selection criteria results in the correct region being linked. However, if a region is chosen incorrectly, this can be resolved by the region owners by ensuring that only the correct region is listed. Then, chest shops will be correctly linked after interactions occur.

    Equality - which chest shops show up first?
    The sorting criteria selected determines the order in which shops are listed. Best price, selected by default, sorts chest shops by the best value (cheapest per individual item sold, or most money offered per individual item purchased). However, many times players trade items for the same price as others.

    In the case where the sorting criteria results in a tie, the results are randomized. This way, no chest shops are favored or listed higher than other chest shops.

    Alright, I've deactivated the region so it won't be scanned anymore.
    I'll remove the four signs there as well, so they won't appear in the search (I think they're debt signs)

    This seemed to have been a temporary network issue with the hosting provider.
    All services have been restarted, and everything appears to be functioning well now.

    Please let me know if you have any more issues.

    I have added station1 to station10 on Main North to ShopDB, was unaware that they were not already added until now, so thanks for letting me know! All these station shops should be updated within the next four hours.
