reminders 2
# enable bedvote (sleeping in a bed starts or agrees with a vote)
bedvote yes
# no commands - if this is enabled then all lightvote voting commands are disabled (bedvote or itemvote must be used)
lightvote-nocommands no
##### Configure items for commandless voting (hitting 'itemhits' with 'iteminhand' starts/agrees/disagrees with a vote)
# These are for starting a vote or agreeing to a vote in progress (day and night can be different if you want)
itemVote yes
bedvote-iteminhand-day TORCH
bedvote-itemhits-day BED_BLOCK
bedvote-iteminhand-night TORCH
bedvote-itemhits-night BED_BLOCK
# These are for disagreeing (voting no) with a vote in progress)
bedvote-novote-iteminhand-day TORCH
bedvote-novote-itemhits-day DIRT
bedvote-novote-iteminhand-night TORCH
bedvote-novote-itemhits-night DIRT
debug-messages no
permanent no
use-permissions no

The permissions file (plugins/LightVote/voteStarters.conf) consists of the names of players you wish to allow, separated by ONE space or newline. This is case insensitive. If I, for example, only want to allow myself and testuser1-3 to start votes, I could use the following config file.

Code:

xUpWuP testuser1 testuser2 testuser3

If you just want everyone to be able to vote, as is the default, just use:

Code:

*

Alternatively you can set "use-permissions" to yes and add the "lvt.vote.time" permission to users you want to be able to vote.

The configuration files are in plugins/LightVote/LightVote.conf

Previous changes - see previous thread

Todo:

• Support for Permissions plugin. (done in 1.7)
• Support for Bukkit SuperPerms
• (Optional) Skip night cooldown - eg. every 5 (configurable) nights that are skipped the vote day command wont work until a full night has passed.
• Vote /lvt day and /lvt night commands (I sometimes try these commands myself ) (done in 1.7)
• Bedvote: only start a vote when the player is asleep, rather than immediately upon entering the bed (if possible).
• Weather? Both commands and gameplay (perhaps totems built to vote for rain, thunder, sun).
• Allow simultaneous votes in different worlds (currently only one global vote at a time).
• Voting in one world disables all voting for one minute (same issue as above) - fix this.
• Customizable messages (thanks Hawtin)
• Ignore NPC's

 

Is it going to be updated for 1.2.5?

 

(Note: Still works fine in 1.5.1)

It's been a while and whilst I had some ideas of re-writing this plugin from scratch my other plugins have taken up my available time.

As a replacement (if anyone's still interested in this plugin) I'd suggest the "Vote" plugin as it's up to date and has more features.

If you were looking for the "bedvote" feature this can be replicated using OtherDrops by configuring "leftclick" on a block to run a command (eg. /vote). Here's an example config:

Code:

  BEDBLOCK:
    - action: LEFTCLICK
      command: "/vote day"  # or whatever command you want

You can also add conditions such as "time: NIGHT" or DAY to run different commands at different times.
