ActivityPromotion
ActivityPromotion - Promote players based on their activitytime.
IMPORTANT: As I am not playing minecraft anymore, i stopped developing this plugin.
This will now be unactive. If you want to continue or start over fell free to take a look at the Code.
Version: v0.5.5
Notes on the last changes
v0.5.4 - v0.5.5
I fixed the spelling mistake, please change it in the config: "necessaryGroup" instead of "neccesaryGroup".
I implemented two new variables in the config: "promotionCheck" and "resetCheck".
They are used to determine in which periods the tasks should run. 10 means every 10 seconds.
Change that according to your needs.
I also implemented MYSQL, but i haven't fully tested it yet. Please report any bugs in the forum.
Attention
This plugin needs Vault as permission and economic interface!
You have to download Vault er ein order to get this plugin to work.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/vault/
I am the owner of a german minecraftserver and on our server is a need for automatic promotion.
There is nothing out there, that provides the same functionality, so i created this plugin.
This plugins allows you to put player in multiple groups, based on the time they have spend playing on the Server.
This is my first plugin for bukkit, so please be patient with updates and bad code ;)
Features:
- Multiworld support
- Supports Flatfile and MYSQL
- Vault integrated: supports Permissions 3, bPermissions, PEX, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermission
- limit the promotion to groups
- add Users that should be ignored
- define your own period of time the user should be promoted
- multiple timeperiods possible
- add Permissions to the user
- define own ActivityPeriods like 7 days, 1 month, whatever
- See also the last logout, the total playing time and inactive players
Description:
The plugin will count the onlinetime of each player.
when a player reaches a specific timelevel, he will be promoted to the group.
After a resetdate the player will keep the groups for one more timeperiode
if he is inactive in this period, he will be degraded in the next period.
The date will be stored in the list.yml
That is all.
See the video for more details.

config.yml:
db: port: 3306 enable: false adress: 'localhost' user: root database: minecraft pass: '' promotionCheck: 10 resetCheck: 10 periods: oneMonth: resetActivity: true periodTime: 1 nextReset: '2011-10-25 00:00:00' activeGroups: - Trial - Member lifeTime: resetActivity: false periodTime: 1 activeGroups: - VIP nextReset: '2012-03-22 10:36:00' groups: Trial: startTime: 1 endTime: 40 setForFirstUse: false permissions: - example.permission necessaryGroup: promotionGroup: - Trial ignoreUser: - Notch world: - world Member: startTime: 30 endTime: false setForFirstUse: false necessaryGroup: - Trial permissions: - another.example.permission promotionGroup: - Member ignoreUser: - Notch world: - world VIP: startTime: 100 endTime: false setForFirstUse: false necessaryGroup: - Member - ^Trial permissions: - vip.permission promotionGroup: - VIP ignoreUser: - Notch world: - world
Explanation for the periods
Except for periodTime (which values are in minutes) all values have to be in seconds!
- oneMonth:
- the name for the group doesn't really matter, put in what you like
- resetActivity
- true
- If you want to reset the timecount every now and then, set this to true.
- If you set this to false it wil count as a lifetime period.
- periodTime
- 1
- Put here the time in MINUTES after a period should be resetted.
- activeGroups:
- - Trial
- - Member
- Define the active groups here. They have to be listed in the groups section.
- nextReset
- '2012-03-22 20:16:00'
- You have to put a date in the past here for the first time you use the plugin.
- After that the plugin will update this entry on its own.
Explanation for the groups
- startTime
- 100
- The time in seconds after a player will be promoted
- endTime
- false
- The time in seconds after a player will get this group removed, if set to false it means this group has no endtime
- setForFirstUse
- false
- If you want to give this group every player on the server on the first start, set this to true. it will reset after one period is over.
- neccesaryGroup:
- The groups the player has to be in to get promoted. Please be aware that he has to be in ALL Groups to get promoted.
- '^' Means, that he must not be in this group to get promoted.
- permissions:
- If you want to grant permission nodes instead of groups put your nodes here.
- promotionGroup:
- This are the groups the player will be promoted to
- ignoreUser:
- Add Users that shoud be ignored
- world:
- Put the worlds here. Please be aware, that the nessecaryGroup will apply on all worlds.
- So the player has to be in Member and not in Trial in ALL worlds to get promoted.
Attention:
The "^" command will only work for nessecaryGroup.
list.yml

SQL
Since version 0.5.5 AP supports MYSQL again.
Please note that this plugin will NOT create the table, instead you have to create it.
The code looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `ap_player` ( `period` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `lastLogout` INT NULL , `totalTime` INT NULL , `passivePeriod` INT NULL , `timePlayed` INT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`name`, `period`) ) ENGINE = InnoDB;

@Chumpertm
I'm sorry, I'm trying to understand your config description above and am having problems with what you are trying to explain.
Could you please post a couple examples with configs and explain step-by-step what your plugin will do in each example. Maybe someone else can explain better?
Eample #1
Eample #2
Thanks so much!
Nice plugin Chumpertm! Can you try to make it work with GroupManager or is it imposible? I hope it is! Haha. Still, Good luck for updating this. And pleeeaasse think to me and my GroupManager :( haha !
Good luck with updating this, I am looking forward to using it on my server!
So... How are things going ?
Really looking forward to it !!!
This will make the server so much better :)
@Patrick_Janson
The next version is on development now.
Hope i get things done during Christmas
What are the status for the update? I get this (cant remove player from "group" ) But it keeps telling me (removed from "Group") over and over...
Sweet, I hope this gets updated.
This plugin is invaluable and works great!
@Chumpertm
Me too, we really need this plugin chumpertm :) it's awesome
Looking forward to it ! :)
@Patrick_Janson
At the moment it is outdated. I am having some time issues at the moment, but i am trying to release a compatible version for the 1.0 version of minecraft as soon as bukkit will release it.
Do this still work ? or is it outdated?
Hi, having some trouble getting this to work. Having the same problem where it repeats the removed from group message. Not sure what is wrong. Here is my config:
I am using Group Manager, not sure if that's the issue.
@MemeCraft
same issue.. Server goes crazy adds and then remove the group.....
@Chumpertm
I got the issue sorted out with the config. Renaming the group from "N00b" to "Noob" in permissions, fixed the issue.
However, I want more ranks. I added another rank, which takes 5 days to rank up to. When a new user (a Noob) joins the server they are immediately upgraded to Member, then puts them back to Noob. (this repeats over and over succesfully).
I think it is fighting over the worlds creative, and skylands although it does survival(_nether) successfully. It just continues to downgrade and upgrade.
I should probably say that in those worlds, I don't have a Noob group. I don't even see why it is using Noob in those worlds at all, I didn't tell it to.
@Chumpertm
I actually threw up a quick alternate server to test with PEX. The issue still occurs, you sure it isn't something with my config?
@Chumpertm
Ok, thanks. Reply if you have any further questions.
@MemeCraft
Thanks, i will try to reproduce the error and to locate the issue.
@Chumpertm
Permissions 3.1.6
@MemeCraft
Which permissions system do you use?
