This has been a long time coming, so I’m happy as Larry to get this up and live! I upgraded our ancient permissions system that was broken and unsupported to a brand new upcoming future proof system that will give us an incredible amount of options.

Whats a permissions system?

A lot of people couldn’t wrap their heads around this, a permissions system is what allows certain ranks to do certain commands, or use certain things. For example /back is a captain only perk, so it needs a permission for this to work and so others cant.

Whats new?

From what you can see, nothing much this is a major back end upgrade that needed to happen to progress, a few things have changed though that are quite big steps.

• Donator ranks can be stacked, so if I buy captain, and a coupon comes around I want to make use of, I can buy captain again before my current one runs out and the time will be stacked up and be added on!
• A countdown timer is now added to donator ranks use /lp user YourUsername info (Ill shorten this later) and it’ll display a countdown.
• Multiple ranks, its possible to have multiple ranks, which means I can create new ranks like helper. Whats great about this is that Donator ranks now have their old rank, and donator on top, so when their donator expires they will be their old rank without getting moved to sailor.
  • In the future (Not added yet) donators will be able to continue ranking up while keeping their donator rank!
  • Don’t ask for an ETA on the helper rank, I want to make sure everything else is fine first.
• Cross server ranks, this is a big one. This allows me to pass ranks between servers in our bungee network, this is the first step preparing us for the games server. (No eta)
• A step closer to 1.11/1.12 fixing backbone issues.
• It should stop the server crashes we’ve been having
• Find someones rank information with /lp user Username info (Ill shorten this later)

What rank did I set all donators to?

All donators ranks were reset to 2 months! So if you were at the end of your donation, guess what you just got 2 months free.

Now there was no record of what your existing rank was, so instead of starting you back at sailor I set all donators to carpenter, if you have already completed carpenter and cant rank up, read the next bullet point.

I’m an ex donator that got moved to sailor/is now carpenter and now I’m stuck in ranking.

Tell me your username in this thread and ill manually either reset you or rank you back up to where you got to (You have to tell me what rank).

I’m missing my Dark green prefix.

Tell me your username in this thread and Ill add it manually.

I’m set as default/deckhand rank, but I’m another rank.

Our old permission system purged old users for some stupid unknown reason, But don’t sweat I have a history of every day that goes back to the first day I opened the server so I can find anything!

Tell me your username and your UUID, and also your old username that you was originally on PirateCraft and I will look up your old rank and manually set it in-game.

Or stats are fine, so you can just re-rank fast as anything! all you’ll need to do is buy some XP!

Something stopped working.

Even though I had a testing period, nobody tested, so there was a bunch of broken stuff we found when it went live, I fixed Autoranking, Shops and Staffs Duty, there’s bound to be some more things that stopped working or you no longer have permission for, so please report any issues in this thread.

I’m an idiot and have a completely off topic question/report/whine

Make a new forum thread idiot.
