Slot Manager

Description

Slot Manager provides lightweight management for reserved player slots
If a VIP tries to connect to a full server the plugin will:
- Try to kick someone without any Slot Manager permissions
- If that fails, try to kick someone with just the player permission

The plugin was custom made for a single server and ran there without any problems since #1714.
With version 0.5 all PEX dependencies were removed and replaced to check permissions through Bukkit.
Slot Manager was tested with CB 1.4.6-R0.1 without encountering any obvious problems that weren't fixed in version 0.6.

No Updates?

Despite the lack of updates Slot Manager should work without any problems with the newest builds. I regularly test it against the newest ones (with PEX) and will release a new version if needed.
Feel free to contact me if you encounter bugs or problems and I will try to fix them.

Setup

Yeah... put the jar inside your plugin folder and you're almost good to go.
Give normal players the slot_manager.player permission and players with a reserved slot slot_manager.vip.
Guests won't get anything at all.
If you'd like to give someone protection against kicks but no reserved slot give him the slot_manager.protected permission.

config.yml

The config file will be created on first start and should be self explanatory.

    Okay, let's speak about v 0.8.GM. There is nothing new except GroupManager support. That means there's no need to update except if you wan't to use GroupManager. While it's mostly patchwork there shouldn't be any problems, but I don't recommend a change to 0.8.GM unless you need it.
