About

dtlTraders is trait for Citizens2 allowing to use NPCs as merchants.

Creating a basic trader and managing his stock is really easy, you need to know only one simple command and all other things are achieved by using the provided GUI.

However you are not forced to use the trader interface if you don't want to, this plugin comes along with a bunch of commands, and a templating feature called patterns, this allows you to create, change, extend, merge shops in any way you want! You can also manage items and prices in shops using permissions, allowing you to change the shop content depending when a player has the required permission!

Also if you want you can translate each end-user part of the plugin into your language, as a result, this plugin also comes along with ready and built in translations into some languages. If you want to contribute a translation make a pull request on the GitHub page.

Getting started

To get this plugin working you will need to get the following plugins:

  • Citizens2
  • Vault
  • Vault supported economy plugin, like BOSEconomy
  • Vault supported permission plugin, like PermissionEx

After you got all of them you can just simply put the dtlTraders.jar into the plugin directory and start using this plugin.

For the most basic setup you need only to know one command, /trader create <name> that creates a trader or simply create an NPC and add the trader trait to it.


How to:

Here are a bunch of helpful tutorials and links that can you help setting up a trader. You can also find here information about the advanced setup of this plugin.

If you lack some information you can always create a ticket on the issues page on GitHUb

This tutorial shows how to create a trader from scratch, how to add, edit and remove items. It shows you how to set prices, manage stock item flags and how to use the multiple amounts feature.
