I had an idea for a plugin that allows players to pay money to advertise whatever they want, so long as its not inappropriate, vulgar, etc. This could be useful for a prison server so people can advertise their shop, and where it is. The advertisement would be auto-posted in the chat for a certain duration (edited from the config.yml), then the next ad will show up. The advertiser will have to pay again for his ad, say every month (also edited from the config.yml). Commands: /advertise Aliases: /ad The base command, shows help for the plugin /advertise "[Your Advertisement]" Advertises [Your Advertisement] (if you have enough funds) With quotation marks to avoid confusion with other commands /advertise price Displays the current price for advertising /advertise duration Displays the current duration for ads (not how long it is displayed in the chat in between ads, but how long the ad will last, such as monthly) /advertise list Displays a list of the current ads, and who owns them. Feel free to ask any questions, and if there is already a plugin like this please tell me!
This does sound interesting, if I have time I could make it. But I will let you know if I can! ~RickyBGamez Alright I have decided that I will try to make this, but just so you know I am a new coder, but I'll try my best! After I release it I will give you the download link(Hopefully)! EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
RickyBGamez I would like to help you on this, if you get stuck then please ask me, I am online mostly all the time. If you need my Skype or something just PM me and I'll send you it
MCMastery Np we should have it done within a few days we have almost everything done, but quick question do you want permissions for it? or do you want everyone to be able to use it?
MCMastery I personally think perms are better because say a random person comes on your server and Advertises nothing Personaly I think you should have perms.
CraftCreeper6 Ok, now that I think about it that would be better. So Perms. are good. Oh and in case you haven't make sure people can only post one ad at a time.
MCMastery We are actually adding Economy to the plugin, and we will see if we can add that, we already added the perms.
RickyBGamez ok thank you! Wow just found this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/simpleadvertise/ But that is not what I want, since it only displays the ads once. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
MCMastery I have decied against the 1 ad running at the same time, because it costs money for each repeat of a ad, the player should be allowed to have as many ads as they want. Currently 1 repeat costs 20k and you have a max of 20 repeats, so that means if they want 5 it will cost them $2 Million in game cash (If you are wanting to know how I got $2 Million, I did $20k x 20 x 5 which equals $2 Million), and cause of that it could take them weeks to get that much money. Just so you know you can set how many times they can repeat it like 50 or something the default is 20, and the price you can change also.
MCMastery Yes you can, you cannot use things such as $20k you must use 20000 otherwise the plugin wont recognize what you are inputting.
MCMastery It's going great! It's only time zones that are keeping us from doing certain things so it could take longer than expected and instead of Economy do you mind using a different currency like Diamonds, Emeralds etc..? MCMastery Just thought I would give you a quick update: http://prntscr.com/3b9uq3 Would display as: http://prntscr.com/3b9y31 And if I try to use the command again before the current finishes: http://prntscr.com/3b9yhp Is this okay so far?

CraftCreeper6 It is fine that's how we are designing it, its for everyone so we can take suggestions later that is the release, the plugin will be out soon
okay sure thanks CraftCreeper6 I couldn't think of a name for this. I like AdvertiseMe EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
MCMastery Only a couple more things to add now Current commands: ( http://prntscr.com/3bjppn ) The only commands that don't work yet are: /advertise price /advertise list That is all Nearly done, could be finished today or tomorrow!
Congrats! Oh BTW I see RickyBGamez spelled the plugin URL as advertiseme-rirckybgamez. (Rircky).... EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
MCMastery I will add credits that you could give via donation ranks and stuff but there is a way to disable it, just go to the config and type "false" for "UseCredits"
MCMastery DONE! After many days! It is finished! I will add the list command in a later update as it kept coming back null everytime I tried to add it.... Here's the link: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/advertiseme-rickybgamez/
MCMastery Is it okay? If you need anything adding I will gladly add it! (Tag me if you do or I may not respond)
