AgeAsker

Introduction

Hello and thank you for looking at this page. This plugin is designed to ask a player's age and if he/she is older than X then he/she is automatically promoted, otherwise they will be added to a fail list and will have to manually added by a staff member.

I got this idea from a few servers I was on, all of which were 16+. They all required staff to manually promote users and some complained that it was hard to get on at the right time to have a staff member present, and owners weren't keen on adding lots of staff just for this purpose. So this plugin was born.

Installation

I will make a more in-depth tutorial once I successfully upload some files to bukkit and get everything set up. But here are the basics:

1. You need to have Vault also on your server.
2. Download the plugin from Bukkit ONLY. This ensures that the plugin has no viruses and is safe to use since each upload is inspected by staff before being allowed to be downloadable.
3. Extract the zip file into your plugins folder NOTE: if a lib folder already exists then merge them together, this plugin uses joda-time which is an external library (not plugin) and needs to be contained there so it doesn't crash the server.
4. Start/Reload/Restart your server
5. Edit the config as you want it
6. If edited config reload or restart server again
7. ...
8. Profit!

Just if I cannot package joda time in my plugin zip, the backup way of installing is here

Usage

Normal User

If a time limit is set, then they will not be a able to use the /upme (asks age plus promotes) command until time runs out. Upon doing /upme you will be prompted with a few questions. Note: this plugin utilizes the conversation API, so for prompts you can just answer normal chat and no commands are required e.g) Are you ready? Response: Yes [I may make this an in-game pic later]. After answering the questions, if you are the appropriate age you will be automatically promoted. If not then you will have to wait for staff to add you manually

Staff

Nothing really. Though once people register, their DOB are saved on file and you can do /listnm <pass/fail> to view those who passed (correct age) and those who didn't. Lists can be cleared with /clearlist <pass/fail>.

Commands

• /ageasker - basic info on the plugin
• /upme - goes into interview mode (as I call it)
• /listnm <pass/fail> - shows lists of user who passed and failed the DOB test
• /clearlist <pass/fail> - clears pass list or fail list

Permission Nodes

• AgeAsker.remove - ability to do /clearlist
• AgeAsker.list - ability to use /listnm command

Disclaimers and other warnings

• This plugin uses player usernames in the process to document the age of players for the staff to know, as well as give a small adjustment to /ageasker (nothing major)

To-Do

• Add MCStats compatability

My other plugins

• Armorsaddles - craftable goods for your horse
• MineCasino - how lucky do you feel?
