Autorank 3.8 is here! A few major changes have been implemented and hence make sure to read this update log.
- Let's start off with the most important change:
My own plugin,
Statz, will now do most of the lifting of Autorank. Statz is designed to keep track of a lot of different data from all of your players. On top of that, it also manages connections with other plugins. It will keep track of data from other plugins such as mcMMO, Essentials, Votifier, Factions, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, onTime, RoyalCommands, UltimateCore and many others. Since Statz is able to get data from other plugins, Autorank now uses
Statz to obtain data from those plugins.
This essentially means that if you want to use requirements that require other plugins like mcmmo skill level or worldguard region, you'll also need to install Statz. If you do not want Statz to keep track of data, but you want to use Statz to unlock all requirements of Autorank, you can disable the stat tracking in the config of Statz.
A big note is that Statz is now available for free. This will stay until upcoming Thursday (14 july 2016). I spend a lot of my free time developing plugins and hence I would like a small fee for my work. That's why Statz will become a premium resource (costing 1 euro) from Thursday on. Make sure to get Statz before it costs you any money!
- The second change of this version is that Autorank can now obtain time data from Statz. This means that in your Settings.yml, you'll be able to add it, like this.
- A third change is the error message that gets shown when one doesn't correctly configure a requirement. This error message will now also show which of the requirements is wrong and in what group the mistake was made.
- Fourthly, Jobs was added as a library (you'll need Statz for it to work). Along with Jobs, you'll have four new requirements to work with:
- jobs current points: how many points does a player currently have? (total points minus their spent points)
- jobs total points: how many points did a player earn in total?
- jobs level: what is the level of a player with a certain job?
- jobs experience: how much XP does the player have on a certain job?
- Lastly, Autorank drops official support for Essentials (no support for Essentials on Spigot) and continues with new support for EssentialsX.
