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.

Reloading is a feature created for development use, and is not recommended to use as it may cause memory leaks, and other frequent problems with plugins. Look here for more information.

@TheExperiment
After switching the plugin over to using UUIDs I will be looking into creating a feature where the plugins config will update once a player's rank is changed in your permissions system (Whatever that may be)

From what I can tell, the reason he did this is to make the plugin as light weight as it is. When it gets the rank from Vault(PEX) every time, it will cause more RAM to be used than needed. I personally like the way that this is done. My say on it is that when someone becomes staff, taking the extra 15 seconds or less to change it in the PrisonRankup file is a sacrifice that I would be willing to make

Posted Apr 5, 2014Hi Mazen, My opinion of PrisonRankup is that it's probably the most simplest rankup plugin and I really like that. But there is one problem and that's is that it record's the player's rank's and it also ruin's my PEX permission file's by doing that. If I want to move someone to a staff rank then I have to edit both PEX and PrisonRank file's and also do the command's to set them in the staff group in-game. I don't really like the idea of it recording what rank the player is in the PrisonRankup config because I already have PEX to tell me what group they are in. I'm not sure why it record's the player's rank in the PrisonRankup config but I would prefer if that feature is to go.

Posted Apr 3, 2014I do have one problem. When a user is the first rank and they type /ranks it will display nothing. It will say the
[prefix]-- but then it wont show any ranks. But once they are set to the 2nd rank then they can see it.-

Posted Apr 2, 2014Basically you need to have all the ranks (A-Z) already created in pex. All this plugin does is require the player to pay money in order to be promoted.

Posted Mar 31, 2014Hi, I'm using this plugin and Multiverse at the same time. Everytime a user ranks up, they are put into a sub group into my PEX profiles. Is there anyway I can disable that so it puts it as a global group instead of a world group?
