Player Payouts

This Spigot plugin gives players customizable payouts based on their played in-game time. A unique feature of this plugin is a configurable bonus once players reach a specified total play-time on the server. The plugin is highly configurable. You can alter the base payout per-group or per-player, you can adjust how often players are paid, how big a percentage is paid to AFK players and whether players are alerted upon receiving a payout.

You can configure how the base pay is combined from the four components of: the base payout, the highest group payout, the sum of group payouts and the player payout. You can combine several, or have some as fallback if the others aren't set.

Once a second, any players that have played longer than the specified payout delay are paid, and their internally tracked playtime is reset. This is an improvement over plugins that simply pay players on a set delay, as that just ends up being a game of chance. If you are lucky, you are paid immediately after joining, which doesn't seem fair.

payoutRules special string The rules for how a player's base pay (before the bonus multiplier) is calculated. See this section

payoutRules

The rules for how the base payout is calculated. "," = OR, "+" = AND. "p" or "player" is the override for a specific player. "g" or "groups" is the sum of all group overrides for a specific player. "hg" or "HighestGroup" is the highest sum of all of a specific player's groups. "b" or "base" is the default base payment.

If you wanted to give players the sum of everything, you'd set it to "p+g+b", which is read as "player override and sum of group overrides + base payout". If you wanted to give players the sum of their personal override and their highest group, but fall back to the base pay, you'd set it to: "p+hg,b" (personal override and highest group override, or the base payout). If the payout rule you set ends up giving 0 as the payment, it will fall back to the default of "p,hg,b" ( player override, or highest group override, or base payout)
