PlayTime

Table of Contents

Playtime is a plugin for tracking numerous times for particular players. Currently within its release stage, it can track the time that a player has been online, been alive for, and how long they have played on the server in total. It currently supports three forms of data management, which are MySQL, SQLite, and flat file storage using yaml files. There is also tracking of AFK players (if you wish to enable it), and I try to keep everything within this plugin as configurable as possible. Please, if you have any type of feedback at all, don't hesitate to leave a comment! I usually try to add new ideas within a week of requesting it if I deem that it is appropriate for the plugin.

News: Playtime-2.0.0!

There are plans for an upcoming re-write of the Playtime plugin in its entirety! You can view the notes on this update at the link below:

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/playtime/pages/development/#w-upcoming-features

This will add some major overhauls, including an incredible re-write of the event system, finally fixing the event system to allow for player-defined events after a certain time period.

Have questions on the update, or need help with the plugin in general? Leave a comment below or feel free to talk to me direct via IRC: #codelanx

Updating to Playtime 1.4.1+

Note that v1.4.0 introduces an event system with a few example events placed in. If you would not like any events to be used at all, simply remove everything in the events.yml file and save it as blank.

Download the jar file and put it in your plugin folder
Start your server
PlayTime has generated a config.yml in your plugins folder, customize it so it can connect to your database
Restart your server

Logs the PlayTime in a MySQL database
Looking up your own play time with a command
Look up up someone elses play time with a command
See how long since your last death
See how long since someone else's death
Stop tracking the time of AFK players
Flatfile support (yml files) - Deprecated, will return in the future
SQLite support
Dynamic configuration updating
Asynchronous data management
Time spent online since login
Other languages - Currently supported: en_US (English), de_DE (German)
Firing Console commands when a time is reached
Add top for total time played
Add command to switch between data managers
Automatic updating and version checking. This is possible to disable under the "update" section of the config. For more information, read the Configuration page

For a full list of upcoming features, feel free to look here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/playtime/pages/development/

Metrics Stats

Playtime uses metrics, which keeps track of information such as OS, player count, java version, and other specific information in an anonymous fashion. You can view the collected information by clicking the graph below, and it is used for any potential future development for specific groups that develop within statistics:

This can be disabled in the Metrics configuration for all plugins, under plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml , and set "opt-out" to true. Keep in mind this will make your server not report any information, and I love stats almost as much as cats </3

Hey,

The permissions page isn't working and I want my players to be able to know their playtime. What is the permission for /playtime? And is there a way that they can view other peoples playtime?

I know the last update was two years ago, but will this ever be continued? Is version 2.0.0 still in development?

I have a problem. I'm trying to run a command every 30 minutes a player plays. (So like 1hr 30 2hr 2hr 30 and so on) But every time I try it fails. How do you use the repeat option..?

I don't like to go trolling on other, similar plugins looking to pull away users, but I it does look like some servers are in need of an alternative if Playtime is no longer active. It has all of the same functionality, plus much more, including UUID support, so please check out OnTime.

I don't think the author is ever going to update the plugin. I had to make my own plugin with compatibility to convert old playtimes from this plugin to itself. I'd recommend you all get a new playtime plugin that supports UUIDs. This plugin caused my server to crash many times because of the SQLite database.

Any ideas?

Edit: It is actually working, it's just giving me a big error.

If you have 1.9, do not install this. It will spam the console with errors. Please update this to 1.9!

#190 Posted Jun 19, 2015

So this plugin keeps track of players time as expected, which I love. Something that is annoying is that the events does not work :/

Some of the events work without issue. This is at-login and online type of events. However, the most important one for me is the playtime event. This is what my events.yml is set to:

events:
  beingonlinefortwohourperiods:
    type: onlinetime
    time: 120
    at-login: false
    repeat: true
    commands:
    - 'msg %u Here''s some food for being online so much!'
    - 'give %u 354 2'
  loginmessage:
    type: playtime
    time: 0
    at-login: true
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'msg %u You have played for %t'
  promoteateighthours:
    type: playtime
    time: 480
    at-login: false
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'pex user %u group set Level1'
    - 'broadcast Congrats on the promotion %u!'
  promoteattwentfourhours:
    type: playtime
    time: 1440
    at-login: false
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'pex user %u group set Level2'
    - 'broadcast Congrats on the promotion %u!'
  promoteatthirtysixhours:
    type: playtime
    time: 2160
    at-login: false
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'pex user %u group set Level3'
    - 'broadcast Congrats on the promotion %u!'
  promoteatfourtyeighthours:
    type: playtime
    time: 2880
    at-login: false
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'pex user %u group set Level4'
    - 'broadcast Congrats on the promotion %u!'
  promoteatsixtyhours:
    type: playtime
    time: 3600
    at-login: false
    repeat: false
    commands:
    - 'pex user %u group set Level5'
    - 'broadcast Congrats on the promotion %u!'

It is rather simple, after a set period of time people will be promoted using PEX and a broadcast will be displayed.

This is my config:

general:
  debug-level: 0
update:
  check: true
  download: true
language:
  use-github: true
  locale: en_US
check:
  death-time: true
  online-time: true
afk:
  enabled: true
  interval: 60
  timeout: 900
  check-chat: false
events:
  enabled: true
  interval: 10
data:
  manager: sqlite
managers:
  mysql:
    host: *******
    port: *******
    database: *******
    username: ******
    password: *****

I left this alone for the most part and for some reason it still doesn't work :/

Please help or fix whatever is causing the events to not fire off.

If i set the AFK to false, does that mean it won't count AFK Time? @1Rogue

Config: afk: enabled: false interval: 60 timeout: 900 check-chat: true

Thanks, Olley
