Questions: MultiWorld Map, MySQL Perms, Statistician, Promote/Demote, Admin Tickets, WorldGuard

Hi everyone, I have a server running reasonably smoothly but have a group of queries to more experienced Bukkit server admins and plugin developers. Rather than spam the forum with lots of separate questions I thought I would group them together, hopefully people can learn from my questions too! Before you say "search first" I have done separate searches for all of these queries and they returned little or no information.

1. MultiWorld Map - I have noticed maps don't work on any world other than the starting world, is there any way to get them working in other worlds?
2. MySQL Perms - I currently use BukkitPerms, is there a MySQL bridge for this as I am having trouble managing the large footfall through the (slightly complex) commands and/or config files.
3. Statistician - I used to have statistician on my old server which was really useful for seeing how often people came to the server, are their any equivalents that just log lots of information to MySQL?
4. Promote/Demote - Is there a wrapper for BukkitPerms that allows simple Promote/Demote commands e.g. /promote Pezmc that will move them up a predefined "track" having to use /perm player setgroup Pezmc Regular etc... is a bit of a chore!
   1. I can recommend permissionsEX ( cmd to promote is /pex promote ingamename )​
5. Admin Tickets - Is there a plugin that allows people to leave "tickets" for admins that can be read later and then marked as read/completed, my admins are fed up with being spammed the second the login with requests for help/reports of greifing
6. WorldGuard Self Service - Is there a way to allow basic self service with world guard's region protection? Having to manually protect our users houses is again taking up lots of our time!
7. WorldRegeneration - I have found this plugin before but can't remember it's name, does anyone have the name of the plugin that regenerates unused chunks on demand, for use when 1.9 is released and the map needs updating!

If you have any answers of advice on any of these topics, please reply inc the number and hopefully everyone can benefit, many thanks for your time and help!

Any other advice on must have plugins, ideas or way of doing things is also greatly appreciated, once again thank you!

I can recommend permissionsEX ( cmd to promote is /pex promote ingamename )

 

Does pEX work with BukkitPerms or is it a replacement?

 

replacement

 

Ok I'll give it a try and see if I can get the hang of it, nice to see it has promote/demote by default.

Does anyone have answers to any of my other questions?

 

Police bump?

 

bPermissions supports MySQL permissions though it is recommended to use the flatfile option and use the web-gui plugin for bPermissions (makes things much easier as there are sometimes sql issues but you'll never fail with a flatfile)

It also has promote/demote commands (/promote playername trackname) that work slightly differently to your average promotion command, but then the whole of bPermissions works a little bit differently.

If you want to try a fresh approach to permissions, I can highly recommend bPermissions.

If you want to stick with what you know, use PermissionsEx, they're both much better to use than BukkitPermissions

 

I would also like to know why maps don't work in another world than the main world.
Anybody?

 

You can still use permissionsbukkit, just add the plugin setrankPB (rankmePB, I though it was the first). Simple, use /rank <player> <rank>
