    Hi,

    probably suggested before, but can't find...

    I've seen other servers where the [trade] text on the sign turns red [trade] when the chest is empty (hence: does not contain enough to fulfill a trade as stated on the sign, p.e. offering 64 Stone but there is only 63 down to zero left). So there must already be a plugin for that. I've heard that you get a notification on .net when a trade chest is empty, but never got one. I'm not staring at the Chat constantly that said. So I think this would be easier to keep track of the Content without opening every single chest in your shop every now and then. Also, potential customers would see from far if the chest is empty and not only when they attempt a trade.

    I would even go further and suggest that the text turns purple [trade] (or any other color) when a trade has been taken place and there is payement to be gathered in that chest. So you don't have to open all the chests of your shop to look for potential income.

    Improvements to that Suggestion are welcome :)

    Neutral. I'm not sure if this is needed or possible with our current plug-in.

    I don't feel this is needed. When a tradeshop is out if stock, or knly has a portion of the items the plugin will send you a message saying "the trade shop doesn't contain ... of ... !"

    Support but I'm not sure if it is possible to make the colour different for each player otherwise it would be purple for buyers even though it's not relevant to them.

    support. imagine you have a huge trade shop with over 100 shops and every day you look though 100 chests to see wether your buyers bought something or were just browsing. i really like the purple idea. #support!

    Support, it'll be easier for the owner to check the chests without clicking in and out of every one.
