    FayConomy - iConomy to Essentials Eco Bridge:
    - Doubles as Essentials Eco API - EcoAPI
    Version: v1.4

    THIS IS INCLUDED IN ESSENTIALS!

    Use these if you are using the new version! ONLY USE 1 BY THE VERSION YOU NEED!

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18601879/EssentialsiConomyBridges.rar


    Ever want all those awesome iConomy plugins for Essentials Eco? Are you a developer and wanted an easy API for Essentials Eco? Well guess what! I got your solution!

    FayConomy (Fake - iConomy) is a mock API of iConomy's API while pretending to be iConomy. It will take iConomy API calls and reformat and redirect them directly into Essentials Eco!

    FayConomy also supports non-player accounts separate from Essentials but following their standards! Now you can have plugins that work with such features in iConomy such as iCoLand.

    If you are curious on how it is done the source is in the JAR and FULLY annotated. To develop using the API just develop as if it were iConomy using the iConomy JAR.

    WARNING: Do NOT attempt to run this with iConomy or without Essentials Eco! Do NOT delete the config.yml in the iConomy folder, this belongs to FayConomy. If you have a file with that name PRIOR to installing FayConomy then back it up and remove it!


    Features:
    • Bridges iConomy API over to Essentials Eco!
    • Custom API for Essentials Eco that is simple, easy and intuitive!
    • Bridges Deprecated API Functions for reverse compatibility
    • Fixes improper use of the API and makes it work regardless of the improper usage
    • Makes iConomy plugins work with Essentials Eco!
    • Adds NPC account support to Essentials Eco!
    • Change the name of the Currency!
    • Basic Persistance with configurable save times (in minutes!)
    Download The Plugin

    Source Code is in the JAR

    Install:
    • Just install the JAR
    • Run once, then open the iConomy\config.yml and change SaveRate: 10 to any amount in minutes that you may want!
    • Open the iConomy\config.yml and change CurrencyName and MultipleCurrencyName to whatever you like!
    Tested Plugins:

    • CookieMonster
    • iCoLand
    • MultiVerse
    • Towny
    ToDo:

    • Create a method for storing non-player money in Essentials
    • Bug fixes? +4
    • Optimization As optimized as it will get, no loops, no constants, no arrays, NOTHING
    • Get rid of my hacky Essentials iConomy Check bypass (ALMOST!)
    Changelog:

    Version 1.0
    • Released


    Essentials Eco API - For Devs!
    Show Spoiler
    First off you will want to make sure you are checking for FayConomy so your not hooking into iConomy. Here is what you put in your main somewhere,

    Show Spoiler

    Code:
        private void detectFay() throws NoSuchMethodException{
            try{
            if (com.nijiko.coelho.iConomy.iConomy.isFay()){
                System.out.println("FayExtended - Linked with FayConomy!");
                return;
            }
            }
            catch(Throwable ex){
                System.out.println("FayExtended - YOU NEED FAYCONOMY!");
                throw new NoSuchMethodException();
            }
            System.out.println("FayExtended - YOU NEED FAYCONOMY!");
            return;
        }
    


    Put this in your onEnable()

    Code:
    detectFay();
    

    Put this in the import area of whatever class is going to use FayConomy hooks,

    Code:
    import com.nijiko.coelho.iConomy.EcoAPI;
    
    OR
    
    if you will be using the Essentials Version of this it will be
    
    import com.earth2me.essentials.EcoAPI;
    
    Here are a few rules, follow them well!

    Show Spoiler

    Accounts for npc's must be made first.

    Do not bother will decimals right now they will be truncated until Essentials Eco supports them.

    You will have to have your methods using the following hooks throw NoSuchMethodException, this is because that is the only way I can stop Essentials Eco calling to FayConomy thinking it is iConomy.

    The API will NEVER have anything removed or reformatted. I will ONLY change their internals in a way that does not break plugins unless some act of GOD stops me from keeping this promise.

    I may add new things, I may not. Doubles will be supported eventually!


    These are the player account checks

    Show Spoiler

    EcoAPI.getMoney(String player);

    - This gets the player's balance
    !Returns double


    EcoAPI.isNegative(String player);

    -This will see if it the player's balance is negative or not
    !Returns boolean


    EcoAPI.hasEnough(String player, double amount) ;

    - Will see if the player can afford amount
    !Returns boolean


    EcoAPI.hasMore(String player, amount);

    - Will see if the player has more than the amount
    !Returns boolean


    EcoAPI.hasLess(String player, amount);

    -Will see if the player has less than the amount
    !Returns boolean


    EcoAPI.getCurrency() ;

    - This will return the currency set by the admin
    !Returns String


    EcoAPI.getCurrencyPlural();

    - This will return the currency set by the admin in plural
    !Returns String


    These are the player account modifiers

    Show Spoiler

    EcoAPI.setMoney(String player, double amount);

    -This will set the player's balance


    EcoAPI.add(String player, amount);

    - This will add the amount to the player's balance


    EcoAPI.subtract(String player, amount);

    - This will subtact from the player's balance


    EcoAPI.multiply(String player, double multiplier);

    -This will multiply the player's balance by the multiplier.


    EcoAPI.multiply(String player, double dividend);

    -This will divide the player's balance by the dividend.


    EcoAPI.resetBalance(String player);

    - This will reset the player's balance to 0!


    Here are the NPC functions, YOU MUST USE newAccount() BEFORE PROCCESSING AN NPC'S ACCOUNT AS A PLAYER!

    Show Spoiler

    EcoAPI.newAccount(String npc);

    - This will generate a new npc account, it will not recreate existing accounts!
    !Returns boolean, true for success and false for already exists!


    EcoAPI.accountExist(String Name);

    -This will return if the npc's account exists
    !Returns boolean


    EcoAPI.removeAccount(String name);

    - This will remove an EXISTING npc account!

    com/iConomy/iConomy <--- looking for iconomy 5.0 this only bridges iconomy 4.65 HOWEVER Essentials will be releasing a version in some time (dont ask when, dont know, it will be done when it is done I spose) which includes a bridge for iconomy 4.65 AND iconomy 5.

    I know, I integrated it in ;)

    Are you using fayconomy with essentials dev build? :confused:
     
  7. Offline

    bradgillap

    no with version 2.2.13

    There is no iconomybridge.jar file in essentials yet from what i can see but there are some things in the config.yml that reference it so I stuck fayconomy back in and I get these messages. Do you know when essentials plans to ship the iconomybridge.jar file?

    hey whats now with "fayextended" ? i thinking about to use iconomy again because the "money for online time" feature ( like every hour 10 coins or something like this) its really important for me :(

    This is an issue with that damn h2 file lol. Use this in your startup (overwrite JUST the craftbukkit part with this, put the h2.jar file in your root folder.

    -cp h2.jar:craftbukkit.jar org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main server-restart-alerts=3h,1h,30m,10m,5m,1m

    This and more, it's about halfway done and it will make the server admins of the world shit bricks >: D I'll JUST say the stock market just got finished up!

    hm sounds really cool but i need only this one feature xD when this functions its finished included, can you then give a pre version for public ? :D:D

    edit: why is in the download two parts of fayconomy ? EssentialsiConomyBridge5.jar and EssentialsiConomyBridge.jar ... what is the difference ?

    xeology

    iconomy 5 killed any possibility of reverse compatibility in one plugin so the bridge had to be split. And Yes I may be releasing a pre-version.

    Amen, son....I love *especially* authors who provide bridges between faction oriented plugins....this and the groupmanager bridge are prime targets. Winner winner chicken dinner. I did end up talking some smack about Essentials, but I found that the alternative was buggy as all get out. After a fresh build of the server, I'm experiencing NO errors, no problems, no lag....even with the plethora of plugins I run.

    I r confused nao. I asked them how to get the fayconomy deal, but they haven't responded yet. Any clarification on what exactly is going on? I would LOVE to install fayconomy essentials that can run iconomy5 stuff, but I also don't want to screw up the server by adding the wrong thing.

    Basically I know this probably has a simple answer, but what do I do to get the fayconomy essentials if it actually exists?

    Im using Essentials 2.2.15 which file should i download? because rigth now Essenstials is giving me KR currncy and not coins for some reason... i didnt install this since it says this is included in essentials, or did i get it wrong ?

    EssentialsTeam

    Lets make this clear. We did not include it in our distribution because of the way Xeology implemented the bank accounts. These are the new features in iConomy 5. It will create many user files for non-existing users in our userdata directory, that makes it's very messy. Once we clean up the code, we might add it again. In general I want to point every developer that is creating a economy plugin to the Register plugin.

    If I'm using Essentials 2.2.3 and iConomy 4.65, then which jar do I download? :confused:.

    MeinerHosen

    I'd take a thorough look at the essentials page, but i guess what you're looking for can be found here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18601879/EssentialsiConomyBridges.rar

    Use the one without the "5" in it.

    Hope this helps.

    edit* I just noticed this, but I actually have no clue why you posted that in a thread about a plugin that was made to remove your need for iconomy...I suggest reading this thread and the essentials wiki/threads all over again :/

    Once we upgrade to essentials 2.2.17, should we remove this plugin? (it claims to support iconomy 4/5)

    So let me get this straight...I don't need this anymore because Essentials has this built in now?

    no, op needs updated. essentials needs this OR iconomy or one of the others, like BOSEconomy. The purpose of this feels more like it is to bypass using iconomy in the first place. For instance, I don't NEED a bank on my server, which is what iConomy gives me, because Essentials already handles everyone having a personal account (think wallet.) I would go back to using this instead of iConomy in a heartbeat, but it hasn't updated. iConomy is great, but has more features than I want to deal with. This just simply makes the plugins that need iConomy handles think iConomy has been installed and properly pass the handles.

    he hasn't been updating it.

    I would think because Register is out now. Plugin owners can include Register in their plugins. Register does almost exactly the same as this plugin, but the programmers use it, not the server admins. Register makes it so every economy plugin, including Essentials since they are using it too, is usable with any plugin which ties into economies.

    Therefore, because Essentials has Register, you only have to make sure the other plugins you get also have Register or support other economy plugins. I can think of several that did before either this or Register came out. You just have to read up on each of them.

    But Essentials is a buggy piece of crap. Why not just use iConomy? Nijikokun is an awesome developer, and I'm sure the Essentials team is too. The difference is that Essentials packs everything into a single plugin, which makes it hard to maintain, and therefore really buggy. It has a bug which lights random fires around your world.
