Player-facing flow
- Players can list items from locked auction containers with !auction sell.
- Bidders use !auction bid, with funds escrowed until the auction resolves.
- Players can check active listings, watch auctions they are participating in, review auction history, cancel eligible auctions, redeem won or returned items, and withdraw auction wallet funds.
- Help topics are split into sell, bid, withdraw, history, and watch so the system is discoverable in-game.
Auction wallet
AWallet is auction-only currency handling. It tracks the auction currency item, supports wallet checks and admin adjustments, and keeps auction payouts separate from the regular bank/wallet concepts. Seller proceeds can sit in virtual auction funds until the player withdraws them.
Admin and economy controls
- Configurable listing fees, cancel fees, max auctions per player, allowed durations, active-listing rebroadcasts, and help reminders.
- Anti-sniping can extend auctions near the end, with a cap on extensions.
- Admin commands can list, cancel, close, inspect outstanding claims, and report auction economy totals such as listing fees, cancel fees, and tax.
- Won or returned items are deferred into redeemable auction claims instead of relying on fragile immediate delivery.
Credit note: Bad Neighbors is working from the great work of earlier 7 Days to Die mod builders, including the people who built and maintained the original ServerTools ideas. Some of these additions are new experiments; others are updated, more refined versions of ideas that have been circulating in the modding community for years. We want the record to reflect that community foundation.
