Hi Knas, thx for responding.
I don't think it's related to doors or levers, as it seems to be ALL my chestshops in Amberton, many of which have been used previously by various players with no problem of this kind.
It's almost as though they are being read as regular chests rather than chestshop chests. The message coming up is just like for a personal chest- "This chest is locked with a magical spell." I confirmed that the signs were being clicked, not the chests themselves.
I will certainly try the unlock cmd and see if that helps but I am really perplexed as to why they would all lock at once. Never heard of this problem before. There hasn't been any change made to the plugin then?
Ima check the mcforum etc and see if this comes up. Also will try again tomorrow, maybe it is just a temporary glitch of some sort and will resolve with a reset. Of course, I can't test them myself because I can't purchase my own stock.
I had both Bobz test several chests in 3 different stores and Fronts tried some as well. They both got the same lock message.
Curious.
