RankBot
Automatically promote a player's rank
Using either time played or players using a secret phrase.
How to install RankBot
1) Add RankBot to your plugins folder, start your server or /reload your plugins
2) Edit the config.yml file in the RankBot Folder.
3) Reload or restart again for your changes to take effect.
Example Secret Phrase Setting
SecretPhrase:
Phrase0: rank me
FromGroup0: guest
ToGroup0: nomad
Example Timed Hours Played Settings
HoursPlayed:
Hours0: 8
FromGroup0: nomad
ToGroup0: citizen
Commands
/rankbot {secret_phrase) - Used for secret phrase promotions.
/rb time - Used by a player to show their time until their last log off, doesn't count current time since logging back on. Requires rankbot.time permission, which is defaulted to false.
/rb time {playername) - Used by admins to either list a player's time since last log off, or lists all players if no name is supplied. Requires rankbot.admin permission, which is defaulted to op.
Permissions
rankbot.time - Allows the use of the player time command, which reports back to the player their play time since the last logout (not counting current time).
rankbot.admin - Allows the use of admin commands, the only current admin command is the admin version of "/rb time"
Requirements
RankBot requires Vault and a supported permissions plugin.
Visit the Vault Webpage to see the current list of supported permissions plugins
Notes
To make RankBot more efficient the ranking isn't done the moment the time requirement is met, this would require a timed event that would check all player times vs. all the RankBot Times. Instead, a player isn't ranked until the next logon.
The playertime.db file in the RankBot Folder contains the playtime of players (in minutes) since the file was written to disk, this file is only written from memory to the disk file on server stops or plugin reloads.
There are up to 30 Secret Phrases and 30 Timed Hours Played Automatic Ranks

The plugin actually adds rank that is configured in the config file but adds a world sub setting to the permissions. So it looks like this:
The world sub setting is determined by the world the player is in at the time of the command.

It's not an issue with Multiverse, it's an issue with Vault, I'm thinking about dropping Vault all together because another person is also having a demotion issue.

Posted Aug 11, 2014Can you make it more compatible with multiverse? Players are losing ranks in the different worlds I have...

PM me your RankBot Settings, and also the name of permissions plugin you are using and it's version number, and the version number of Vault that you are using, and the version of CraftBukkit.
And I'll take a look at the problem.

Posted Jul 29, 2014My staff ranks are getting demoted :/ Idk how to fix this because in the config files I dont even have them listed. My ranks that are on the list are Default Noble_Miner Meowster and Time Keeper. I have about 10 other ranks but I dont want rankbot to interfere with those ranks. Any idea on how to fix this?

Yes, all time is counted, doesn't matter if they are AFK or not, the only thing that is counted is log on time and log off time.

Posted May 6, 2014Now I'm confused:
"All time is counted, whether they are AFK or not, " "I'm not counting AFK time, so the time will probably appear differently then the other plugins time."
I think I got your first comment wrong - you dont count afk-time, is that right? That would explain it, definitly.
Maybe I lock the /onlinetime command to avoid stupid questions :D

Just the time commands above, since it won't calculate the time currently on until they log off (log off time minus log on time equals current new time to add to the database).
I'm not counting AFK time, so the time will probably appear differently then the other plugins time.

Posted May 5, 2014Well I knew that part already. But i try to ask in another way:
1. is there a way / command to see the actual time a player has untill the next promotion?
2. how can it be that a timepromote after 10 hours promote a user with 6 hours onlinetime and another user with 11 and more hours onlinetime according to the timecount of glizer-plugin?
The result is that a lot of guys ask why they're not promoted yet. get on nreves :D

All time is counted, whether they are AFK or not, the database doesn't show their current time, it only shows the last time the database was written to, which is during the server start or plugins /reload.
The current time is held in memory until that time, for performance reasons.
So looking at the file will not show you their current time, and promotion only happens on logon, the time is checked at that point to avoid having an event running in the background checking constantly for anyone who should be promoted.

Posted May 4, 2014Hi,
we got a problem with your server. We also use Glizer which have the Command /onlinetime
Normally, after ten hours and a relog, the time-promote works perfect. But sometimes, there're persons with more then 11 hours and no promote. I checked the last Example in Details: GLizer told he spend 11 hours on the server. The DB-File told: USER-XY,493 which is 8.2 hours. Why is it that way?
What time on server counts for the plugin? Is AFK-Time counted out from the plugin? Is there any command where you see how much time is left untill the promote? if not can you insert it?
to explain a bit more detail: users start as guest on the server. with a password-promote, they're moved to guest. then with a time-promote, they're promoted to member. my guess: depending on how quick they're on the first password-promote, they need longer untill they get promoted via time. but really help me out in detail here. i have to understand it because it dont want it to call it a bug anymore :D

I'm not sure, because I still can't duplicate the problem.
But I've had a couple of other people in the past report the same issue,
I'm running a long term test on two servers, trying to duplicate the issue, with a copy that constantly writes to a log file tracking the issue, which really makes the servers almost totally unplayable.
I've seen lots of issues with the Bukkit Dev Builds in general, but that's the point, they are dev builds, not really build for normal use.

Already has a check of the old rank before setting the new rank, it appears to be a certain combination of permissions plugin, versions of Vault, and mostly spigot instead of Craft Bukkit that causes the problem.
