PrisonRankup
PrisonRankup
The highest-rated and most practical rankup plugin designed specifically for the ever-popular Prison server is finally here. This plugin features a unique database built into the config to house each individual player’s rank to prevent losing ranks, glitching out of the system, and allowing multiple groups to be compatible with popular permissions plugins, including PermissionsEX and GroupManager. Accessing player’s information has never been easier, as one can simply type “/rankup get (name)” to retrieve the player’s display name, rank, and current balance. In order for the balance feature to work, as well as the plugin itself, Vault is required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Commands:
/rankup - Ranks the sender up to the next available rank (prisonrankup.rankup)
/rankup set (player) (rank) - Sets the given player to the given rank (prisonrankup.set)
/rankup stats (rank) - Receive statistics of a rank given (prisonrankup.stats)
/rankup create (rank) (price) - Create a rank in-game (prisonrankup.stats)
/rankup get (player) - Retrieve a player profile (prisonrankup.get)
/rankup reload - Reloads the config.yml (prisonrankup.reload)
/rankup update - Update PrisonRankup (prisonrankup.update)
/ranks - Shows you available ranks (prisonrankup.ranks)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Default Configuration File:
# Welcome to configuring PrisonRankup, I will be here to guide you through this config setup # First let me introduce myself, I am Mazen. I consider myself an expert in configuring Plugins and YAML configs and an advanced Java developer # First thing I want you to do is to set the prefix (What comes before the message) for the plugin to use. Keep the speech marks please to avoid errors. Prefix: '&a[&bPrison&6-&bRankup&a]' #Do not touch this! version: 3.0 # Next thing I want you to do is set the message you want it to be when somebody ranks up. Keep the speech marks here as well. # The %player% will be replaced with the players name, and the %rank% will be replaced with the rank they ranked up to. Rankup BC Message: '&3%player% &6has ranked up to &3%rank%' # Now, the most important part of this plugin is the rankup ladder groups: #Heres an example of the format of how it should be: # rank name:price #DO NOT REMOVE THE # FROM THE ABOVE! - A:30 - B:100 - C:300 #Here, I will be asking you to put the first rank on the ladder in this example A First Rank: 'A' # As well as the last rank to assure that we can message the player that he is at the end of the ladder Last Rank: 'C' # This message is the message we will send to the player if he is the highest rank. Highest Rank MSG: '&6 You are already the highest rank!' # This next one is if you want to use a timed requirement for your rankup system, set it to true if yes. Default is false; Timed Requirement: false # Now we're if you set it to true you will have to set a certain time that you want to be done for the rank requirement Time Interval: 0.0 # Here you will write what the time is based on, seconds, minutes or hours. Spelling does matter! Time type: Seconds # If you want, I added an option where you can choose if you want to make it so that the interval is added to every Rankup Sequence Interval on all ranks: false # Now you're almost there! Theres just one last part, If you're switching from Rankup and/or majority of Rankup plugins set this to true. If not, set it to false. # What this does is check if the player has a rank that is listed in groups (Every minute) and if so, makes a profile with that rank. Transfer ranks to profile: false # Set the next item to false if you do not want to use the updater update: true # Set this to true if you wish to enable debug mode debug: false # This is the format of the ranks which will appear when a player does /ranks #Variables are: %price%, %rank% ranks-format: '&5[&3%rank%&5]&6: %price%' # Here, is the message the player will recieve when he doesn't have enough money to rankup #Varaibles are the same as the ones shown above not-enough-money: '&6You need &2$%price% &6 to rankup to &2%rank%'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Switching
Are you switching from another Rankup plugin? Simple! Set the “Transfer ranks to profile” option to “true” in the config.yml!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.8 Compatibility
1.8 compatibilities with UUIDs have been implemented in version 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using the Sign Integration
You can make signs that work for PrisonRankup like this (You require the permission prisonrankup.sign):

Then, once you place it you will get something like this:

And congratulations! Now you have a sign that be used to Rankup!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plugin Updater
As of Version 1.3 I have integrated an updater to the plugin, just do /rankup update to Update the plugin. You may disable this feature by setting updater to false in the config.yml
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PrisonRankup Connects to Mojangs Servers
As of the UUID Update, PrisonRankup connects to 'sessionserver.mojang.org' as well as 'api.mojang.com' to fetch UUIDs and names.

Actually now that I think of it I also updated PEX right before it stopped working for me, do you think there is a coincidence?

Yes, I deleted the jar and folder, put the new jar in, and reloaded the folder. I went into the game with the default A - C and it still is glitched. I can get it so it displays the ranks, but I stil can't rankup. I also just updated Pex incase that was causing it, but I don't see how that would be causing any issues.

He said in v1.7 he made a crucial fix for UUID in the changelog, so im assuming something changed there. did you create a blank config and retry?

Ohhhh that's what UUID's are. Ok thanks, I guess that makes sense. But I'm using older version, and still getting the same errors. Why would that even happen?

the long number is a UUID, its the new system for storing players as Mojang want to allow name changing so every account is assigned a unique number, sadly this makes it hard to see which account a value relates too, the author has however provided a command to check using /rankup get
as for the errors, I would suggest you regenerate your config and run 1.6, hopefully the author is working on a fix otherwise I will take a look at the code and give a fix a go and send it to him :)

Posted Apr 13, 2014So, I don't know if this is the same issue, but when I load up a new jar it still won't work. I tried going back to v1.6 but it does the same thing. I load it up, the ranks don't load, and I can't rankup. Also, when I try ranking up it does this to me in the config.

Also, it says failed to update when I type /rankup along with it saying that the plugin may be out of date even though I've tried multiple jars.
This is my error:

the problem is on line 44 of the util.class, the developer is getting the current rank and price of the rank the player is on, he needs to be looking for the next rank using the whatRank method I believe...
Should be a relatively simple fix :)

This happens to me also.
If I have something like this: E: 0 D: 5000 C: 10000 B: 20000 A: 30000 Free: 50000
And a player types /rankup (Version 1.6 since 1.7 brings internal error) it says "You need 0 dollars to rankup to E."

Posted Apr 12, 2014An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command. Fix this FAST. Players are unable to rankup. PrisonRankup1.7 caused MANY errors.

Posted Apr 11, 2014I really like this plugin but something is glitched on my server. Let's say you just join the server, and you're in the "A" groups and you try to execute /rankup it says, "You need 0 to rankup to A". Same thing with all ranks, if you're at the E rank, and you do /rankup it'll say, "You need 10000 to rankup to E". I have no idea why this is happening, somebody please help we've tried lots of different versions of the plugin already. We really need help!
