Bungee Setup PLUGINMESSAGING

Setup files example available here

This setup requires VotingPlugin on proxy and every backend server you want rewards/voting info on. Votifier must only be on proxy. Requires mysql. See below for settings and troubleshooting steps.

Bungee Setup PLUGINMESSAGING

• This setup is similar to SOCKETS, but requires a lot less work
• VotingPlugin on every server you want rewards on (including proxy server)
• Only caveat is it requires players to be online to send the votes to the servers (offline voting still works as normal)
• If no players are online it will cache the votes to be processed later (Will store the time, so that won't be effected, shouldn't even notice anything happened)
• Bungeecord also handles all totals/points addition rather than spigot servers, except for ingame commands (Option for this)
• All servers point to the same MySQL table
• Steps for Proxy/Spigot below

Prevent Exploits (A bit overkill):

• There are now 2 options to make it harder to exploit, but it is a little overkill
• These 2 settings must match on all servers
• Please ensure plugin messaging is working before enabling
• PluginMessageChannel:
  • Defaults to vp:vp
  • Channel used to send messages
• PluginMessageEncryption:
  • Defaults to false
  • When enabled secretkey.key must match on all servers (Generates when enabled)
  • Encrypts all messaging data and prevents someone trying to force votes

Bungee/Proxy (VotingPlugin settings, bungeeconfig.yml):

• Votifier setup on here only (no forwarding, nuvotifier forwarding method set to none)
• BungeeMethod: PLUGINMESSAGING
• SendVotesToAllServers: true (for a reward on each server) or false (reward on whatever server player connects to first)
• Set MySQL settings, must match same table as the other servers (MySQL is required)

Spigot/Backend Servers:

• No votifier installed (Votifier on bungee only) - votes will be ignored anyway (to prevent double votes)
• BungeeSettings.yml:
  • BungeeMethod: PLUGINMESSAGING
  • UseBungeecord: true
  • BungeeBroadcastAlways: false (If true, always broadcast, even on cached votes)
• VoteSites: VoteSites setup on each server (only servicesites need to match)
• Config.yml:
  • Set AllowUnJoined to true (Bungee has option and control over this)
  • Set MySQL settings
• Restart may be required for it to work after setting everything

Running on velocity:

Velocity requires a mysql driver to be installed, one available here (install as a plugin in plugin folder) will allow VotingPlugin to run on velocity with no compatibility layer. Works the exact same as bungeecord.

Troubleshooting:

• Check status & working condition with /votingpluginbungee status (Requires players to be online to test)
• Run bungee test vote with /votingpluginbungee vote (player) (site)
• NuVotifier forwarding method set to none (And no votifier plugins on spigot servers)
• If still not working restart all servers and verify everything is set correctly
• Ensure VotingPlugin is on proxy server with nuvotifier on there as well
• VotingPlugin on all spigot servers you want rewards on
• If receiving double rewards at random check all servers names in bungeesettings.yml differ
