GUIM is a plugin that allows multiple marketplaces to be set up throughout a Bukkit server. These marketplaces are interfaced using inventories instead of commands or signs.
Advantages:
GUIMarket is designed as an alternative to sign markets and chest markets, and command marketplaces.
Many players will not remember commands. Plugins that use a lot of commands can be confusing. More so, commands take away from the concept of the game itself. GUIM wants players to feel like they are accessing a real marketplace, instead of typing in lines to the computer.
While sign based marketplaces and chest based marketplaces are useful for admins, they have some disadvantages which GUIM tries to resolve. First, if one item is limited to one sign/chest, they are not very space efficient. Secondly, some marketplace plugins are meant for server-side trading and not player-to-player trading. GUIMarket aims to allow admins to set up static trading stations and allow player to set up their own shops, all using very little commands.
So the only command that has been implemented is:
/GUIM create [marketname]
which requires the permission: "guim.create"
This lets you set up a market.
I've added help books to help people get through the markets.
Also, right now the item cap is set at 10. In the future, I'll make this adjustable.
