Asking for help
Please include the following in your post.
server.log - With out the server log we can't really tell what error your getting, which plugin it might be from, where the error is in our plugin....

Error message - Sometimes you might be getting more then one error. What error are you trying to fix? Also if the server log is missing or very long, this will help us locate it.

Which permissions plugin your using. - We need to know if your using permissions or Group Manager. It might be an error specific to that plugin. Also both work very differently. The steps to fix one might be different then the steps to fix the other. Config files are different...

Explain the problem - Simply posting it doesn't work doesn't help. We need what you were doing, what caused the error and other any information that could help.

Messages

Messages (open) Messages (close)

Messages must be enclosed in ' ' or you will get errors. They support both colors and variables. Colors are done by using &<color>, such as &3 or &a. If you want to use a & in your message, place two of them. Example. 'He is a gentlemen && a scholar' would print out 'He is a gentlemen & a scholar'

Here is a list of variables. All variables should be enclosed in < > and lower case
Player
player.name = Players name who has been promoted
player.world = Current world the player is in

Rank
Follows pretty much the config names.
rank.name = Name of the rank
rank.group = New group person is getting promoted to
rank.oldgroup = Old group the person was in
rank.world = The world that group and oldgroup are a part of.
rank.time = Amount of time in minutes it took to get this promotion
rank.cost = The cost, money, or block id they used for this promotion
rank.amount = The amount of money, or blocks, they paid
rank.remove = If they were removed from the old group

Ones you'll likely never use but are there...
rank.broadcast = If this was broadcast to the whole server
rank.msg = The raw msg before it is processed.

Abilities
Same as rank with the following changes
There is no group or oldgroup.

Commands

Commands (open) Commands (close)

Code:

/playtime <player>
will show how long a player has been playing for. This keeps track of time logged in to the server and playing.
Permission node: timerank.playtime

Code:

/listranks [filter/page] [page]
List all the ranks loaded and there costs and other information. Filter and page is optional. Filter can be time, buy, or rent. Adding a filter will only list the ranks with the selected information. Page can be used to limit the output to 5 at a time.
Permission node: timerank.listranks

Code:

/buyrank <name>
Will allow you to buy the rank with that name if you have enough to pay for it.
Permission node: timerank.buyrank

Code:

/rentrank <name>
Will allow you to rent the rank with that name if you have enough to pay for it.
Permission node: timerank.rentrank

Code:

/timerank
Show version number and other information

/timerank reload
Reloads config file

/timerank groups
List a lot of information on the loaded groups

Permission node: timerank.timerank

Current Bugs

• None

Planned features

• Add in support for Permissions 2.7.x - May not happen. Doesn't have an API for managing groups. May have to edit the config files directly which is a very ugly way of doing it.
• Reformat the listrank output to make it look better.
• Make oldGroups a list instead of a single value. Make this list an OR list so they have to be in anyone of these groups, remove any that they are in.
• Add in a use: section to limit the abilities to a number of uses instead of just buy/rent.

Features I'm thinking about

• Add an option so you have to visit a set place to get your rank advancement such as an alter or temple.
• Come up with a better name to describe this since it now does more then just time. Maybe call it Ranker.I'm open to suggestions.
• PermissionsEx support

It is not quite the same. This plugin is absolutely amazing, I have been using it since it first came out, back in 1.3 I believe? But anyways, I also am using PermissionsEx, and would be greatly appreciative if you could update it, and make it PermissionsEx compatible.

 

Yeah, it is only the same in that it can rank players based on the amount of configured time. It's better than nothing and there may be other plugins that can run along side of this one to give you what you want.

I loved TimeRank, but it is now dead. And should be set as inactive.

 

Someone should take over the code, the thing I loved about this plugin was that you could make multiple groups, and set a custom message upon promotion. There are so many features with this plugin... I would be willing to donate if it came up-to-date...

 

doesnt work, i get an eror all the time, i do /buyrank (rankname) and it gives me a big error and wont work, same with /rentrank

 

@soundwaveninja
This plugin is outdated and the author inactive.

If you look for a replacement you should check this.
I made it because of the inactivity of this plugin, so it may solve your problems.

 

I had one problem about the yml but it ok now. Just when i try to buy a rank such as vet it says you must be in the trusted rank first. How do i sort that out. I have been trying to get in trusted rank. So please help thanks.

 

The plugin is outdated i think.

 

Hey
Is it possible for you to add PEX support because the other permission plugins dont work for me and this plugin seems So epic plus the players on my server would love it
Thanks ACdestroyer

 

This plugin is outdated and the author went inactive. Don't expect any updates.
Check out ExpSkills if you look for a similar plugin.

 

I dont have any ranks and if i add them where do i do that? please help

 

I get this error when typing in the commands. Please Help

Hey It's a nice plugin and a really good idea but I was trying to find something when you rank up determined on the amount of time you have been on the server. Thanks for Tryin to help. I appreciate that. Thanks

 

Then you could try http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/activitypromotion/.

 

You could also try: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-thumbsapply

Syd
Isn't activitypromotion outdated now? Bummer, if it is.

 

After the comments it seems like the author is rewriting the plugin.
However it still uses the old event system, so the plugin will break with R5 when it's not updated...

You really should ask the author if he is updating it in the near future...

@dimitriskres
This Plugin is outdated. If it's still not broken it will at least after R5.
Swich to another plugin.

 

Haha.... Do you feel like a broken record!?

 

Please update this to 1.2!

 

This plugin should really be maintained, it is just what I, and a few other server owners I believe, need!
- I really can't understand how no one copied this yet, compared to how many copies of useless plugins that have been made...

 

If it's open source, I could try and update it... no promises.
(I actually used it while it was active and it was awesome. xD)

 

Please do it, this guy has been mia for a very long time

 

Hayden06 The source is here.
But it's most likely not compatible with most of the other plugins anymore. I'm a horrible coder, but I'll try my best. xD

 

I wish I knew how to code at all, I'd help.. and then some. I have a few ideas that no one has done

 

really want this for 1.2.3!

 

the download link doesn't work

 

This Plugin is more or less a remake of Time Rank. (At least I coded it because Time Rank is inactive)
If you have some problems with my plugin, so tell me please. I can't fix problems/add features if I don't know about them.

Also I would appreciate if a moderator mark this plugin as inactive, as the last update was around 9 month ago...

 

I have Updated TimeRank Ill release it after I have had a chance to test it.

As long as you used the last Avalible version of this... when your configs will be fine, I removed the config updater to speed up the upgrade prosess

 

The plugin download don't work

 

download doesn't work
