Installation
Drag the .jar to the plugins folder and reload or restart the server.

Configuration
The config.yml file:

period: 100
compatibility-mode: false
fallback-field: lastPing
metrics-opt-out: false (coming in 1.0.4!)

period

is how long in ticks to update the scoreboard, 1 seconds contains 20 ticks.

compatibility-mode

if the plugin should try to use another plugins scoreboard. Use this if you have another plugin that uses the scoreboard, this doesn't always work! It depends on the other plugin as well!

fallback-field

should normally not be changed, it should be the name of the field with the ping value on the NMS class representing the player. This was added to increase the compatibility and should only be changed if you get the error "Unable to determine ping field. Can't continue!". For more information how-it-works

metrics-opt-out

disable sendind usage statistics to mcstats.org. This allows you to opt-out for this plugin only! You can globally opt-out for all plugins by editing "plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml" and changing opt-out to true. But if you don't mind please leave it enabled! It helps a ton! You can view the statistics page at http://mcstats.org/plugin/VGScoreboardPing (coming in 1.0.4!)
