Swap Box - RC 1

Description
MOD ID: 1358269057

STATUS: RELEASE CANDIDATE 1
Please see change notes for details.

Overview
This initial release provides a structure that players can use to securely exchange items in ARK without the need to have both parties meet face-to-face. SwapBox offers sellers a secure inventory to display their sale items for buyer(s), and accept payment for those items while preventing other players from taking/modifying that inventory. Buyers can make payments as a single lump sum or installments.

Sellers: This version currently lists only ARK's vanilla items to use as currency. Future versions will extend this feature to allow for additional vanilla and modded items.

Getting Started
Sellers: Set your desired price (currently limited to Vanilla Items, e.g. Metal Ingots); set a PIN code for the buyer to access the SwapBox. Take your payment when the full sum of your asking price is met.

Buyers: Using your PIN, access the SwapBox and make a payment towards the items contained in the inventory. Payment by installments are supported. Once you've paid for your items in full, you'll be given the option to take those items from the inventory.

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Perhaps your name "swapbox" must include (trade or sell) so it comes up in a search. I also have my own coin mod. so swapping resources is fine, but adding an admin command to set another mods coins as payment will be awesome

I will definetly follow this if you continue it and allow us to use our own coins. I have a simple coin mod and would like to keep it and use this as store registers. Even if its just to have a place for people to pay after they take an item from shelves.

I've actually been hoping for something like this too in order to encourage team work, trading, and just making a community in general. It doesn't have to always be about reaching Alpha Status but players still will back stab each other. This will at least build relationships and prevent massive trolling which can and still happen when Admin or Owner isn't looking whom aren't even paid to do monitor duty so why should they do so unpaid?

Once this corona virus dies down maybe I'll get less hours of work and more time to play hopefully. I'm Definetly interested too.

If there's real interest in this mod, I'm more than willing to continue developing it; it was meant for a specific server, but I would make modify it for general use.

are you willing to open source the mod so others can branch off from it or use for testing updates for you

@awhiteguy -- Unfortunately, I do not currently maintain this mod; I would recommend you use something like the Auction Hose in its place. I may, in the future, issue a new version of this mod.

got a few questions:
is this an admin spawn only structure?
can it be destroyed by someone and if so what happens to the loot?
can you add cryopods with dinos in them as an item to sell and if so does it display the dinos stats when looking at the pod?
can a seller just list something in there without a pin so anyone can just go make a payment and sell it?
