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.

I am using version 1.6 because that is the only one I see that doesn't have any errors atm. My server relies on this and I can't afford to update to a version that does not work properly. I see so many problems on this comment section im scared to update. But yes once 1.8 comes out everything will need to be updated including this plugin.(On my server)

It will set them in all worlds, I apologize about that.
@JacobTurner
1. When 1.8 comes out, good luck using 1.6 2. This may be due to the plugin trying to fetch their UUID, however this is unlikely. PrisonRankup only fetches UUIDs from mojangs servers if the player is offline, and cannot fetch them from Bukkits local database. I will look into this as well, in the meantime I would like you to enable debug mode, and watch the messages in console. If there is a message from PrisonRankup in console right before it lags, send it immediately. The messages will show what the plugin is doing, and that may be fetching the UUID from mojangs servers.

Posted Apr 27, 2014Does anyone else get this or know how to fix it. This happened recently after I first downloaded this plugin. The server runs fine and smooth until we get about 15-20 players on, then after that every new player that joins causes the server to lag while there connecting. It lags for the 1-5 seconds it takes them to connect and it is really annoying. I have not installed any plugin after this one. So Im pretty sure it is this one but then again I could be wrong. Also I am using version 1.6 because that is the only version that I see works correctly.

Yeah, the plugin automatically hooks into GroupManager, or close to any permission plugin for that fact!

Well, with your permission system use negative permissions, so for A you would give them essentials.warps.A, and for B you would give them -essentials.warps.A and -essentials.warps.B (Assuming you're using essentials)

@Gretzkii
PrisonRankup doesn't interfere with PermissionsEx Prefixes, please do not post here about it.
@ShadowCrafter829
Please download PrisonRankup v2.2 from here
@Gretzkii
This is fixed in v2.2
@BamMC
Redownload PrisonRankup v2.2, I just fixed that.
@SkullGod
This was done in Info-Board, please contact the developer of that plugin to update his plugins access of the API to v2.0. Maybe some day I will look into doing this myself.
@MrGhettocraft
Yes, you have. I am planning to add this, however, currently I am wishing to assure all the current features are finished and bug-free, then move on to more advanced features as scoreboards, multiple ladder system, etc.

Posted Apr 26, 2014Not sure if I commented here previously, can't find any replies/the comment, I think I'd be cool to add multiple ladder system. That way, my guards can have a rank up system with the contraband items, and the prisoners can continue to level themselves.

Posted Apr 26, 2014Suggestion: Scoreboard support ex: Stats: Money: (Your Money Here or Balance) Rank: (the current rank there)
I though that would be cool, and just a think to think about!
