[MISC] Advert 0.5 - Advertise easily [1000]

​

​

​

​

Version: 0.5

Plugin allowing you to advertise against money (5$ by default). Now uses Register.

Features:

• Advertising. (useful for RPs, etc.)
• Generated config.yml where you can change the price and the delay between 2 adverts.
• Anti-spam delay.
• Permissions!
• And pretty colors.

Command:

• /advert <message> - Advertise.
• /advert - Various infos about the plugin.

Download:
v0.5

Permission node(s):

Installation:
Drop the downloaded file into the "plugins" folder of your server.

Changelog:
Version 0.5

• Added 2 Permissions nodes, "advert.free" and "advert.nodelay", see above for more informations.

Version 0.4

• Added Permissions compatibility. See above for the node.

Version 0.3

• Added an anti-spam delay. (special thanks to Raeon!)
• Now made /advert an "about" command. It shows the version, the price of 1 advert and the anti-spam delay.

Version 0.2

• Switched to Register, this plugin now supports most Economy Plugins. Yet I've only tested on iConomy 5.

Version 0.1

• Release of the plugin.

 

How does it advertise? Over chat?
Also, look into using the Register API by Nijikokun, to allow usages of the three major economy plugins (iCo, BOSE and Essentials)

 

I don't really understand the point of Register, as I'm French and don't fully understand English. So I've downloaded the iConomy plugin and added it as External .JAR in my project. It works too.

 

It allows your users to use any of the major economy plugins, not just iConomy. This opens up your plugin to a larger audience.

 

This is a good idea, but will most likely be abused on almost every server that has it...

 

Will do in the next version.

An idea would be to add a "cooldown" before the next advert. Only, I don't know how to make "timers" or something similar. If somebody can teach me how to make those, I would greatly appreicate!

Now uploaded v0.2. I've switched to Register but I am unsure the plugin will work. Please tell me if the plugin is not working properly. I will try to fix it.

You can set the current time on variable and check the difference when someone use the command

 

What is the ideal function to get the "current time"? I've tried Player.getPlayerTime() but it acts strangely.

 

http://joysofprogramming.com/current-time-in-seconds-in-java/
This will give you the system current time, when someone do command you can check again and see how many seconds passed

 

I'm having trouble doing this way with arrays. I've coded way too much Lua and used to make string indexes. Oh well. If you know any other way to store stuff, I would like you to share it with me.

 

thx, i`ll try it on my server.

 

Code:

    // Declarations
    public static HashMap<Player, Integer> lastUsed = new Map<Player, Integer>();

    // Functions
    public int getLastUsed(Player player){
        if(lastUsed.get(player) != null){
            return lastUsed.get(player);
        }else{
            return null;
        }
    }

    public void setLastUsed(Player player, int time){
        lastUsed.put(player, time);
    }

Using HashMaps is a good way to easily assign a Object to another Object. With the code above you can easily store the last time a player advertised in a HashMap. Just copy - paste and give it a try.
Though, be aware of the fact that I've put in Integer as the value- not a Date or whatever type of other object you use to specify the 'last time used' variable.

Succes!

Thanks! I am having a lot of trouble with HashMaps until I read this, you now enlightened me! Anyways, I have uploaded the 0.3 version.

 

What about Permissons plugin?

 

I'm going to implement it if I get it to work.

 

Glad to hear it. Just I`m wanna use that plugin on my server, but can`t turn off Permission plugin ^^ Waiting for fix.

 

Oh, do you mean that you are asking for Permissions nodes in the plugin?

 

yep. what did u think?)

 

Added Permissions support. I'm not sure how this works, but it works. (for me, atleast.)

Added 2 more nodes, "advert.free" and "advert.nodelay".

Thanks u!

Hm... It does not working, when i use permissions like that:

Admins:
default: false
info:
prefix: '&C[Admin]'
suffix: ''
build: true
rank: 10
inheritance:
permissions:
- '*'

all plugins working with that config, except ur plugin. Can u fix it?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

It says that an internal error occurred when I attempt to advertise. Any ideas?

 

Permissions work for me. Try putting - 'advert.*'

It works perfectly for me, make sure you have an economy system AND Permissions.

 

I use EssentialsEco and PermissionsBukkit.

 

I'm not sure Register supports EssentialsEco, try using another economy plugin instead.

 

Dang.

 

It still does not working... I put 'advert.*' and nothing...

Is it possible to get it working with EssentialsEco?

 

What economy plugin and Permissions are you using?

Not really.

 

Real Economy that built in Real Shop plugin. Its bad, yes?

 

Yes it is, please use iConomy or any other major economy system.
