FAQ & Read Me - start here!
Getting Started with ESGUI:
ESGUI is made up of 4 main files that are fully configurable, and is where everything about the plugin and shop items are stored. Unless you are only using commands to configure your shops, you will need to access your files and know how they work.
The Config.yml - this is where you configure How ESGUI should function. Any changes made to this file may require a server restart.
The Sections configurations - These configs can be used to configure the shop category(section) items inside the main menu which link to the shop itself.
The Shops configurations (most used files, you'll be here alot)- These configs store all item information for every shop item in a specific section.
Last, and least used file is the languages file in the
LanguageFiles
folder.Depending on which one you have configured ESGUI to use in the config.yml, this is where you can make changes to the messages and text lines of ESGUI's interface.
You will also need to install a supported economy provider to use EconomyShopGUI.
Dependencies:
Economy Plugin - You will need to use an economy plugin, currently the plugin supports the following economy providers listed here.
(Note: You only need one of these plugins for basic usage, but you can use multiple for multiple currencies. Other Vault Based Economy Plugins not listed here may also work with some limitations)
Permissions Plugin - A permissions plugin is optional, but recommended. Blocking access to certain shop category's or items requires one, see our guide here on how to use a permissions plugin.
