Player Ranks

i think all the admin commands no longer work since update. Save /wipe etc .

 

I'm not going to let them.

 

errrr what?

 

Admin commands are no longer admin commands - They are by permission playerranks.allowed

If you already did that, maybe your perms got reset or something?

 

ok gotcha. Please add this info the the front page. Cheers.

 

Fair play...
Thanks.

 

Confirmed for next version

Four new categories.
They'll most likely be MySQL-only, unless there are wild screams of protest.

• Economics
• PlayTime
• Online/Offline Status
• Recently active number

Credit to k1lly0u for the first two ^^

The recently active thing is a unique number assigned to each player who joins.
It allows for secondary sorting of tables so the online players are at the top and the offline players are sorted by most recently online.

player 1 - online - (5)
player 2 - online - (2)
player 3 - offline - (4)
player 4 - offline -(3)
player 5 - offline - (1)
etc

Coming soon....

Edit : Also added "/pr *category* - Displays top........" to the "/pr" command message - EXSKREEMER

 

Trying to input the command: pr wipe into the console but it does not do anything??

 

Yup yup. That's 'cos it's not a console command.

Type /pr wipe in game chat.

 

I knew that Thank you

 

Hello,

First of all, I want to thank you for this plugin. I'm trying to get some constant players on my private server and this plugin has a very important role in this purpose. And just know that, if I can get some donations for my server, from the players, I will send the half of it, to you.

And there is a little problem I'm having right now;

- The plugin is sending the data to mysql nicely but the enconding have some issues. I couldnt find a solution and wanted to ask to you. It is sending some "non-english" characters perfect, but some of them not.

Can you help me about this topic ?

*** Edit ***

Found the solution;

The answer which has the number "31" in the link below worked, thanks by the way ;

How to make MySQL handle UTF-8 properly

 

Hi,
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your solution.

 

Steenamaroo updated Player Ranks with a new update entry:

1.1.8

 

"You WILL need to drop your MySQL table for this update.
Data will repopulate automatically from your server .json data file."

I don't know what this is. As far as I know I don't use MySQL for Rust. All I did is drop the plugin in my plugins folder when I first installed it a while ago.

Please tell us exactly what file we need to do what to. DROP isn't a thing to do.

 

Drop is a thing in MySQL.
If you don't use it, you're cool.

Description updated.

 

What would be the use for MySQL, what are the benefits?

 

It's just another way of storaging all of your data.
The advantage is that it's much easier to grab, sort, process and publish using php and html, for example.

You'd need a MySQL server in order use the option.
Some of the game-server providers, and some web-server providers, bundle it in with the package.

Here's how I use it.

 

I actually have an MySQL server on the same machine as the Rust server, but I use it for an online store database.
If I use it should I create the database in MySQL first, or will the plugin create it if I put the desired database name, and proper credentials in the config?

 

If the credentials are correct in config, PlayerRanks will create the table and populate it automatically.


The reason for the need to drop tables on this update (if you're interested) is that people who already have tables running wont have columns for the new categories.
The plugin doesn't check this, so it'll be writing to columns that don't exist and will error over and over.

 

Okay I set it up, but it doesn't create the database. So I need to create the database myself, right? Also do I need to create the tables?
As of now console says: [PlayerRanks] Player Ranks MySQL Database Was Saved. But I don't see a new database. If I create a new empty database without tables, will that work?

EDIT NVM LOL. You already said the table will be created....
