Heya my suggestion is to add an option to set preferences for the default player shop settings such as turning on buy notifications as the default and auto setting the shops to open basically allowing the player to choose what they prefer as the default settings
I support this, it would be nice to have a preference setting to enable shops transaction notifications, set the shops as default open, and defaults who can restock etc, so that any new shop created has those defaults already set up. Its helpful being able to close a shop, buy if I'm making a whole bunch in a go, having toanually set every sign to open, notify on, etc can be a pain.
If the shop is open by default and stocked when you are setting it up be aware that until you set the price, the shop is free and if there is anyone about they can take advantage.
Fair point, but I guess the idea would be that you set the prices and items first. Ita unlikely rhat a player will be camping waiting for you to set a shop up to steal everything. Though sure that is a possibility. Personally I feel this would be helpful as we can toggle if we'd want them open by default or closed. If they're open, then we set the item, set the price and that's all we'd need to do. Often I've closed a shop sign when making say, 10 signs, without realising they weren't open.
The new shop interface is a mess anyway. It needs a complete makeover to be more intuitive and direct. No more entering item, money, quantity, price, in chat.
