    Thanks for the Shopdb again
    I was curious that is there a way to remove old spawn shop prices? When stations have closed there doors, it seems that if a new shop doesnt pop up in its place. the prices of the old shop still exist on the DB.
    For example if you search say Iron Block, you go to the station but the station hasnt existed in months.
    The same with some places that have signs but are either shut with entry deny on them or have no money?

    Thanks

    azarath shop owner(s) have been inactive
    badtown no chest shops
    bushido shop owner(s) have been inactive
    chernotown shop owner(s) have been inactive
    crystalcove shop owner(s) have been inactive
    deafination no chest shops
    forkknife shop owner(s) have been inactive
    iris shop owner(s) have been inactive
    lusail shop owner(s) have been inactive
    magic no chest shops
    omg unable to enter area
    pickwick no chest shops
    rapture2 no chest shops
    rosemarket no chest shops
    tracks shop owner(s) have been inactive
    westeros shop owner(s) have been inactive
    zeeland shop owner(s) have been inactive

    MAIN NORTH:
    all no chest shops
    articnation shop owner(s) have been inactive
    asgard shop owner(s) have been inactive
    bayview shop owner(s) have been inactive
    chillville shop owner(s) have been inactive

    MAIN EAST:
    abstract shop owner(s) have been inactive
    esgaroth shop owner(s) have been inactive
    highgarden no chest shops
    omg shop owner(s) have been inactive


    Hopefully this will help reduce the number of unusable signs. If you see any more, please report them to me via /mail, in-game forum message, or on this thread so I can review.

    None of these shops are 'banned'. They have just been removed as there are inactive shop owners, no shops, or the region is protected and players cannot enter. At any point if they become active again or if inactive chest shops are removed, another application can be filled for these to be added again.

    For ECC 2.0, I'm working on modifying the plugin to allow moderators to add/remove shops in-game so I can have some help maintaining :)

    Awesome!
    Loving the update!
    Though it seems some stations that don't exist anymore are indeed still on the shopdb :(
    Hopefully they are filtered and removed in the coming days/weeks

    But loving the update and appreciate it :D

    Removed two more shops from main:
    hit - shop owner(s) have been inactive.
    figos - unable to enter region.

    For stations, IMO this should be handled by the moderators and game admins.
    I know if players are inactive or banned, I believe the station will be placed under auction again for someone else.

    Yeah, the issue is station like station3 on maineast were not sold from auction so its been empty for about 4 months. :p
    And with the stations atm, quite a few are empty is all.

    Thanks for the other two removed. Appreciate it :D

    Only stations 1-4 get auctioned, the other 6 stations are obtained via buying off the current owners or applying for it on the forums if the owner "forgets" to renew their station. I don't see how a staff member can really help you here?

    The people showing up on shopdb for /warp market stations are like 2 owners previous to who are there right now which is obviously annoying when you go to a station just to find out they're not even the current owner anymore. And on the flip side, when these people are taking up a page of results, it's annoying for buyers who want their shops shown at the top of results but can't be because old chestshops with old (higher) prices are at the top.

    Main:
    Station1: Showing as user "opriam" when the current owner is BobbyBlack. (you can search, for example, "yellow wool" under "sell" to see an example of this error).
    Station2: Currently no owner but the previous owner (KaylaBearBear)'s chest shops are still appearing in search results. (Example to search: buy or sell blackstainedglass)

    Main North:
    Station2: Same as main.
    Station9: Search results showing up for the previous owner "luxuriantspy5" when the current owner is "miniclh". (example to search: arrow). In this case though, mini's chestshops are also showing up in search results (which it should do, but it shouldn't be showing luxuriant's) (example to see this would be: ironore)

    Main East:
    Station2: Same as main.
    Station3: Still showing chestshops in search results for ChineseOverlord when currently nobody owns the station. (Example to search: ironore)

    I can see that when searching for these on the website under "regions" it's showing the current (if any) owners, it's just the search results that are still showing wrong information.

    Also a quick question, what are we classing as "inactive players"? Judging by some of the ones you've removed, it can be as low as 3 weeks. In that case, there are still a few inactive players on search results ;)

    Inactive:
    skystridertag - 1 month 2 days (also no money)
    scionspy - 2 months 8 days
    blankaccount821 - 3 months
    l3g3ndaryphoenix - 2 months 22 days
    opmcowner - 1 month 1 day
    silentpleb987 - 3 months

    Access deny:
    Lushland (main) - the area where the chestshops are has been access deny for a few weeks now and has a sign saying "closed".
    Zenith (main north) - 1 chestshop buying ghast tears but it's not accessible (underground with no way down there).
    Chefcity (main north) - Access deny on the whole town.

    Other:
    The one and only search result for "Chorus Fruit" actually doesn't exist when you TP to it. There are other chestshops around it but this chestshop doesn't exist.

    I have noticed quite a few chestshops are showing up in search results even if the chests are full. For example, if you search "bone", you will see the 2nd result shows a FULL (3456) chestshop as space available (this is even when I have "Hide Unavailable Shops" ticked). This is also the case when some chestshops are full but are SINGLE chests (meaning, the full count would be 1728 rather than 3456). I have seen that a few chestshops that aren't at the chests full capacity but are still technically full due to other things being in the chest are moving themselves to "Unavailable Shops" which is correct and makes me wonder why sometimes when they're actually full (aka showing 1728 or 3456) these aren't being hidden with the filter applied? It seems it is capable of reading "there is no more room in the chest" so I'm not sure why it's not doing that for random full chests.

    There are also a few random pages that just load a white screen (I have tried multiple browsers with cleared cache, this happens every time on *certain* pages.) I can't remember every single time it has happened but an example would be if you search for "Nether Star" and select "sell" on the side, the 2nd page is just a white page. This also happens when you go to page 6 when you're viewing "everything" being bought (as in nothing searched, just the filters it automatically applies when you open the website - only thing you need to click is "sell" on the left side and then click the next page button 6 times). Refreshing the page doesn't help in this situation as the site uses ajax.

    Apologises for the long thread lol, I use shopdb daily so I seem to be picking up on random issues.

    Thank you for keeping the plugin updated and running :)

    ShopDB hasn’t got the in-depth maintenance needed after a large amount of players have become inactive. Part of this is because the server will reset (perhaps sooner rather than later), I have shown some neglect to the maintenance it needs to ensure shops are accurate and usable. I apologize for this on my end, as it’s my responsibility for this upkeep regardless of the circumstances.

    While I tried to resolve these inactive shops in the last post, it appears as much cleanup is still yet to be done.

    Thanks for bringing these issues to my attention, and please bear in mind that I rely completely on these bug reports to reflect and improve ShopDB.

    All of these issues have yet to be reported so this is the first I’m hearing about them. There’s quite the list of issues here, and I truly appreciate the effort you’ve taken to report these. I urge others as well to take a minute to report these issues as you find them - as if they’re never reported I will likely never notice and they may never be fixed.

    Regarding shops with “incorrect” owners - the owner when searching for an item will be the owner on the chest, not the region. For example, for station 3, regardless of who does or does not own the station it does not matter. It is the owners of the chest shops themselves that will be shown.

    So if shops are showing up in station3 even if there’s no owners - that’s because there are probably still shops in station3. This is intended, as more often than not people have shops in regions they do not own. Also, owning stations is a relatively new feature altogether and came into place long after ShopDB was created.

    A large part of your post is centered around this point and I wanted to clarify that this is the intended behavior.

    Regarding shops that show up on ShopDB but do not exist in game - This is a bug and on me to correct it. This happens rarely (as far as I know), in some unlikely circumstances involving timing and server restarts. If these ghost shops are more prevalent, please do let me know so I can take a deeper look into how this can be prevented.

    For the last cleanup, determining inactive players was dependent upon many factors, not just playtime. Also, it was not just the region owners that were looked at per the last post. This was a review of the shop to see if it contains a significant amount of unusable chest shops.

    This was a rather strict overview, as these shops are not by any means banned and can easily be added again at any time. This revolved more around player balances, number of chest shops, state of the shop itself, and if the chest shops could be used rather than just looking at last played.

    I do not doubt I missed a few, so thank you for bringing those up. They will be reviewed as well.

    Regarding full chest shops not being hidden - I will look into this.

    Regarding white screens - I will also look into this.

    Again, thank you for this detailed report. It is appreciated, and a significant contribution to ShopDB as if these issues are never brought up they would never be fixed. If I have misinterpreted any part of your post please feel free to correct me.

    I will look into the shops you have posted and review. The ghost shop you’ve mentioned will be removed. And the two bugs you have mentioned will be resolved - expect this to happen over this weekend.

    I will also review the station shops and temporarily remove any ones which are inactive.

    @blazwura97

    (In addition to post above)

    After rereading your post a couple of times, can you clarify if the previous owners are showing up even if they no longer have signs in the station?

    (I’m on phone atm, but I will also look into this as soon as I can).

    If this is the case, then this is an issue that needs to be manually corrected - e.g, the signs will need to be wiped and refreshed for these stations. A reason behind this could be that the station was worldedited, which could destroy shops without firing the event needed for removal from ShopDB.

    I’m unable to tell by reading your post, as the distinction between non-owners showing in search results (intended behavior)
    and shops showing in search results that actually do not exist (unintended behavior) is a bit abstract.

    If you could elaborate a bit on this point that would be helpful. I will also look into this myself, but wanted to clarify with you.

    Only the owner (the person who pays the rent) of the station is allowed chestshops in their station. It's against the rules to have other peoples chestshops in there, so yes all the chestshops in a station that I listed that are showing up in search results do not actually exist anymore.

    Station1 on main is owned by BobbyBlack therefore oPriam's chestshops should not be showing up in search results as they do not exist anymore.
    Station2 on all servers is empty, no chestshops there but they're still in search results.
    Station3 on maineast is EMPTY therefore ChineseOverlord's chestshops should not be appearing in search results.
    Station9 on mainnorth should not be showing LuxuriantSpy5's chestshops as the chestshops do not exist anymore and a new owner owns the station.

    To add: Yes, most of the time stations get world edited (users when exchanging stations can chose to keep the build (but NOT the chestshops) if that's what they agree on), but the SA's should be manually breaking the chests BEFORE doing this to literally prevent issues like this and ghost locks, from my experience they just WE the whole thing without doing this.

    I hope this helps :)

    I just figured out that the white screen thing only happens when you use the arrows for turning pages rather than the numbers at the bottom. Using the numbers to change pages doesn't cause the white screen :D

    Edit: nevermind it only allows me to go another page then the numbers breaks it too xD

    After reviewing these reports, I have made the following changes:
    • Shops in station1 on main has been cleared from ShopDB.
    • Shops in station2 on main, main north, and main east has been cleared on ShopDB.
    • Shops in station3 on main east has been cleared on ShopDB.
    • Shops in station9 on main north which were owned by LuxuriantSpy5 has been cleared.
    • Lushland on main has been removed from ShopDB due to access-deny flag.
    • Zenith on main north has been removed from ShopDB due to one and only inaccessible chest shop.
    • Chefcity on main north has been removed from ShopDB due to access-deny flag.
    • The white page bug is now resolved - please let me know if you're still encountering this.
    The shop you have mentioned for chorus fruit in 'everything' does exist.
    EDIT: There are actually two results for chorus fruit - the ones in 'prestige' is a ghost shop and has been removed.
    The ghost shop in 'sale' on main has also been removed.

    ---

    More research needs to be done to correct the full indication bug.

    You are correct in that this full check is done by the plugin to determine if the chest is actually capable of holding more items, rather than just checking the count.

    What I see is a total of 1,285 full chests which are correctly identified as being full, and 113 which are not.
    When trying to reproduce this issue myself, I was unable to (when I fill up a chest shop, it is correctly indicated as being full).
    Clearly, there is a scenario where this check is giving an incorrect result. I will need to test some more and be able to reproduce this myself to code a fix.

    ---

    All but one issue you have mentioned should now be resolved. I am looking into this availability indicator bug now.
    Again, thank you for the in-depth report. I was completely unaware the stations were showing old signs - as you have mentioned this is likely due to world edit. This should now be resolved, and please do let me know if there is anything I have missed.

    Apologies for the frustration this has caused, and big props for reporting this and saving others from this frustration. I really appreciate this, and I'm sure others will as well :)
