Ah, thanks man. Also, just so you know, I'd copied pasted from here - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/lotteryplus/pages/creating-and-definig-lotteries/ and just altered it to make my lotto. All the examples in that link have ticket-cost as ticketcost. Just letting you know so you can fix it to avoid further confusion :)

Hey bro, I got a problem with my lotto. It says the tickets are $1, even though I have them set to $10. Here's my lotteries file:

saves: {}
lotteries:
  Bobpot:
    pot: 300.00
    ticketcost: 10.00
    repeat: true
    max-tickets: 20
    max-players: 30
    min-players: 3
    time: 72

@tentonaxe

And now there's the issue with it using 1$ ticket cost instead of what i set it at. Nice!

@Randude14

In the next version can you have it default to having a generated default lottery, or not require one to be initially defined? It really sucks having to restart the server to install it, then restart the server again to install the first lottery.

This is pretty informative...

this happened on first run.

It's a bummer I have to change plugins, I would've liked to see what this one could do.

@HadenGoesHard

it does the same thing to me... the only way to put it back to the price you want (temporary) is to close ur server and open lotteries.yml and under Save ... you should see the price at 1$... put it back to what you want... save and start it again.. was the only way that i found until i know what i did wrong..

I'm sure that I'm missing something in the Config setup but, for some reason I can't get my lottery to sell tickets for the price I specify in the lotteries folder. I set it to 100, but it sells the tickets in game for 1.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Can someone paste me how the lotteries.yml should look like?

Why doesn't anything show up when i type /lottery?

@soccerkid1015

Would it be like this?

save: lotteries: MAIN: pot: 1000.00 ticketcost: 10.00 repeat: true max-tickets: 20 max-players: 30 min-players: 2 time: 48

@dotapurex1

Go into your plugin data and find lotteries.yml. Then add in a lottery, following the format shown on the creating and defining lotteries page. Save and restart your server. The plugin should be able to start up afterwards.

Why doesn't anything show up when i type /lottery?

Could we get the option to periodically write the lottery data to the disk to prevent some of the data loss from crashes? Rather than doing it purely on shutdown.
