CommandAd (monetise your server & reward your players - EULA safe)
CommandAd 2.9
Description
If you run game servers on Minecraft, you're in luck - you can now monetise your servers effectively. We offer a fantastic alternative to donations that is EULA safe.
MOTDgd Ltd is a UK company, and we are proud to be a leading game ad network in the marketspace. We have over 10,000 server owners signed up worldwide, with a huge presence in the Steam marketplace.
Our video/banner adverts will be shown via a link, your users click on in the game chat. It will open their default browser, they will watch an ad for a short time (approx 30 sec) with the purpose of getting an item, ability or command defined by you, e.g. a wooden sword, a potion etc.
This is made possible by allowing you to run any number of custom/Minecraft commands before and/or after an advertisement is shown. You can customise this how you wish with simple & RTD style reward modes included.
Our plugin is server friendly: We work with multiple versions of spigot, we're lightweight and not bloated, you can define a period of time that your users won't benefit from watching an ad (cooldown), specify how many ads players get before going on a cooldown, choose rewards per world, blacklist worlds (from ads), make users immune from ads, and ensure people who don't get ads, don't get rewarded at your discretion. You can now also choose custom ad backgrounds, text and a logo for your ad page with your community branding!
It is easy to install with our config file web generator, and you can reload the config file in the console to make changes on the fly.
Our plugin is unintrusive it will only impact a player's gameplay in the way that you tell it to.
This is a highly customisable plugin, and as such it is suitable for any type of server. It is a complete remake of our old legacy CommandAd plugin.

Commands/Permissions
For all commands in-game type /cad before the command (except "/ad" which you can use without it since 2.1).

/reset <player> Clears the ad cooldown for the named player. Permission: cad.clearcooldown (op only by default)
/setmode ALL, SEQUENTIAL, RANDOM, WEIGHTED Set the reward mode until server restart, (to make a permanent change you need to alter the physical config file) Permission: cad.modify (op only by default)
/reward <player> Give the player a reward manually Permission: cad.reward (false by default, but works in console)
Immunity (permission only) This grants immunity to the ad link/reminders etc. Permission: cad.immunity (false by default)

NOT working?
- If you see a loading screen instead of an ad – that’s OK, there isn’t always a video ad available in the user’s country (due to fill rates).
- We try at least serve a banner or remnant ad on our banner page/thank you page when a video is unavailable (something is better than nothing).
- This ensures server owners don’t lose out entirely (despite videos paying more).
- Check your MOTDgd ID is in the plugin config file, this should be a number e.g. 1834 (it should be automatic if you're using our config generator).
- If editing the config file manually it's possible you broke your config file format/are using the wrong format, try downloading a new one with our config generator to resolve the issue.
- Check you're using integers in your probabilities for rewards.
- Ask your host to unblock mcnode.motdgd.com:8080 - sometimes they block our ad server connection.
- Create a support ticket in the MOTDgd Member Portal.

Hi
This is because the dependencies are in the wrong folder, please move them into the /plugins/MOTDgd_CommandAd folder.
Also please check you are running v1.1.2 for 1.7.9
Thanks Patrick
When I start my server, I get this error:
What do I need to do to fix this? I have bukkit 1.7.9 and I have the latest version (Todays).
@MOTDgd
It is, but my players aren't getting rewarded...
@NinjaSplat
Hi
Is it playing ads now for you?
Thanks Patrick
For some reason the plugin isn't showing any ads. Is there a way to fix that?
@xDizasterCYx
Thanks very much looks good :)
Yo your logo is ready, check it on thread, for some reason no one gets notifications.
Great plugin, great way to make money!
I have a small community server, which i get around 5-10 players a day, but yet the majority of the players watch the ads as much as possible due to there great reward system!
For anyone who is unsure of downloading this, do it. It's a great plugin with a great background.
@MOTDgd
That works :)

Hi
That's strange it works for me :
http://motdgd.com/rates.php
I just tested it, let me know.
Thanks Patrick
Your rates page isn't loading for me
The 1.7.9 version does work, however the block destryoing feature does not.
Hi Mathmanboy,
Please make sure that you specify the player name when performing the /DisableBlockBreak or /EnableBlockBreak commands (e.g. /DisableBlockBreak mathmanboy). Also, please make sure that the command dispatcher (the player that performs the command) has the permission "commandad.blockcontrol", operators have this permission by default. If this doesn't help, could you provide a little more information? Do you get any feedback, for example?
Sam
One extra suggestion - make sure the user has left the spawn protection area/is not on spawn protection, this stops a users breaking blocks.
