FAQ
So what is "Parkour" mode?
Parkour mode is when you join a course you have created, by either joining it via a Parkour join sign or by using the command /pa join. Remember you can also enable Parkour mode by using /pa test, although this will simulate being in a generic Parkour course, and not the course you're editing. (Checkpoints & finish don't do anything etc)
How do the databases work?
A database is required to store all the leaderboards for each course, as well as some other information the plugin needs. By default the plugin will create an SQLite database, which is local to the server. If you want to find / edit the database, you will need to find an appropriate SQLite editor, I recommend this.
You can configure the plugin to connect to your own MySQL server by editing the sql options found in the config.yml, restart the server and check the logs to see if any errors appeared.
Every time I join a course it says "You fell" ?
This is because you have set the floor of the start to a death block, default being stonebrick. You can either change the floor to a different block, or remove that death block from the ParkourKit.
I have PVPArena installed
So you'll want to change /pa in Parkour to something else to avoid collision; Go into your plugins folder and find the Parkour.jar, open it with WinRAR or similar, find "plugin.yml", double click it and it will open a text editor, preferably Notepad++, then find "pa:" and change it to "pkr:", click save, close, and allow WinRAR to update the Archive. Restart server and you're all set!
Can I reward money?
Yes, easily. You will need Vault & a compatible economy plugin installed first (I used iConomy). In the config.yml set "Use.Economy" to true, if not already. Restart the server, if everything went well it will display "[Parkour] Linked with Economy (version)", if not, it will say it tried to link but failed with a reason.
Once the plugins are linked, go into the server and enter the command "/pa economy recreate", this will add all the courses that are on the server to the newly created economy.yml file.
Now you can use the economy commands to reward a player for completing a course, as well as charge a fee to the player for joining a course, if you wish. "/pa econ setprize (course) (amount)"

"Test Mode" will allow you to simulate playing on a Parkour course without having to setup / create a course. Basically its for testing certain parts of the course and not needing to do the entire course to get to the part you need to test. (It will enable Parkour Blocks etc.)

Posted Apr 23, 2014I've been playing with this plugin and it works great, but my checkpoints don't seem to be working properly. Could you give me an idea how they work?
My "PlatePointID" in the config file is 25 (note block), that's what I have on my parkoar map too. I SHIFT-right-clicked, (because it's a note block), and it said "checkpoint created", like it's supposed to, and I could do /pa tpc, but when I played the map It always sent me to the start when I fell.
I also made several failed checkpoints on the same block, if I could delete those somehow or if you could add that feature it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, could you give me a brief idea of how the leaderboards work? Thanks. And why doesn't adding a datatag like 35:5 in the config file work?

Posted Jan 7, 2015Hi. I installed this plugin today on my server and it's so easy to use and is exactly what I needed! It´s only one thing. I've googled a lot on this and checked the faq and all I could find about this plugin, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. Can I limit a prize on a course to a one time only prize? I don't want to give the players the possibility to finish one course over and over again to get the prize more than once.
Is this possible?

Posted Jan 7, 2015Hello, I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up economy. I enabled it and server logs shows that it is linked, but the economy.yml only says:
I don't understand how to set a reward for my parkour map, called Cave.
Also, I can't see where to disable the parkour message when a user joins the server. It's multiverse so whenever someone joins Factions or any of our other worlds, they get the message that says "This server uses parkour." It feels unprofessional, please let me know how to remove the message.

Posted Feb 17, 2015Is there a way to add extra blocks that do certain things? For example, emerald has a strength in the config of 1.2, but then you could add another block, say a diamond block, with a strength of 2.4, then a third, like an iron block, with a strength of 3.6, etc. So that you could have all 3 of those blocks at different times throughout 1 parkour map.
Likewise, obsidian speeds people up 50%, but add bedrock speeding people up 75%. That would be a cool feature :)

Posted Mar 20, 2015Can you make it so that when players finish, they go to adventure mode and not survival? The only option like that in the config was:
onFinish:
