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.

Hm, still makes no sense. Removed a debug statement and it was fixed. I guess I'll update both the BitBucket and BukkitDev. Thanks for reporting. In 10-20 minutes, download the plugin again as the error should not be there.
EDIT: Now BitBucket and BukkitDev have updated (Waiting for approval on BD)

I get the same. It doesn't show an error me in game. But when a player types it, it says "An Internal error occurred when attempting to perform this command".
Here is the paste bin. http://pastebin.com/Xu28j5uV

Is there an error in console? Is your config.yml defined correctly? Please send a pastebin of your config.yml.

Posted Apr 20, 2014Alright Guys!
After countless hours of going through patching up some code, I fixed up majority of the bugs reported! You can download this here until the BukkitDev staff approve the new file. I would like to shout-out a few people who helped make this happen:
- @RawBeef_
- @GcMagic
- A few other people who wish to remain private
If you guys run into any bugs whist using v2.1 please create a ticket here! As the BukkitDev one is cluttered and I am unable to go through all of them.

Posted Apr 20, 2014Sometimes when people try to do /rankup it says they've ranked up, but not that group?

Posted Apr 20, 2014@kollinkoko This will not work if you had updated to 2.0 at any time. Because the player files were transferred to a seperate file 1.5 doesnt work if you updated to 2.0. If you had updated to 1.6 or 1.7 then this idea works perfectly. However many people updated to 2.0 Such as myself and now we are left with no rankup plugin on our serers. I wont switch to another plugin because then all ranks will be reset for everyone. And lots of people have high ranks on my server. So my only choice is to wait for the next update and hope it comes out tommorow or EXTREMLY SOON and hope that nothing is wrong with that version and that it actually works.

Posted Apr 19, 2014I have been using this plugin for awhile and have seen the recent updates to be faulty. I recommend using v1.5 as it's mostly bug-free. v1.6 has a problem with giving the price needed for the next rankup. v1.7 is a huge failure of an update. Most commands end up as an internal error. v2.0 has many bugs and errors in it as well. As of now, I recommend PrisonRankup v1.5 over all of them.

Posted Apr 19, 2014Hey guys,
Sorry with the in-activeness recently, as I have been moving across the world and its being a bit hectic. I'll look over all the code of the ranking up system, as it seems that there are multiple of you having problems with it.

I have used PaidRanks, Rankup, Autorank, CommandRanks. None of them worked for me because of the issue with Donor and Staff ranks. I can't remember whether it was PaidRanks or CommandRanks that had the really confusing config but one of them did.
I will try usind PaidRanks again, until this plugin fixes the bugs.
-Thank you!

GcMagic you are absolutely correct. I am experiencing the exact same problems that you have. This plugin was supposed to easily setup my rankings for my prison server, but it has severely slowed down the production of it. I tried a different plugin called paidrankup, and it seems to work just fine on 1.7.2 for my server even if it is built for 1.6.2. So you should either get that plugin, or be patient enough for these developers to attempt to fix the problem. Here is the paidrankup plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/paidranks/

Posted Apr 19, 2014Okay, I have encountered numerous problems with v2.0 - I was ready to release my new prison server but now I need to wait. Let me list off a few of my problems:
1. When a player is Rank A (default) they do /rankup and instead of going to Rank B they are brought to Rank C for the price of B.
2. When anyone runs the command /ranks it says: Currently available ranks: (then there is nothing else after it, even at Rank A)
3. When you reach Executive (Top Rank) you do not the get "Highest Rank" message you get, brought back to Scholar and then back to Executive. (Continous loop!)
4. /rankup set (user) (rank) is totally off, If I set them to B (for example) it says "Successfully set to B" however, when I do /pex user (name) to check if it has been correctly configured. Of course, it has not. It is the same for every rank. - Also with this command, is that it does not replace their current rank, it adds it. ( Meaning they have ranks A - D [and any other donor, staff ranks])
- Please fix these or tell me how I could fix them:
What's in the config http://pastie.org/9093284#1
RAW - Config File http://pastie.org/pastes/9093284/text
- No, there are no error logs. -
