NoRookies - GhoulofGSG9/Shine-Epsilon GitHub Wiki

This plug-in offers you the ability to set a min playtime for players to do certain things.

It uses the UWE Hive ( and the Steam API ) to get the players total playtime and so there is no way to hide as rookie.

At the moment it allows you to block that players can join any team or that players are able to enter the Command Chair/Hive.

Players with access to sh_ignorestatscheck will be ignored by this plug-in.

The default config looks something like this:

{
    "MinPlayer": 0,
    "AllowSpectating": true,
    "InformMessage": "This server is not rookie friendly",
    "Kick": true,
    "Kicktime": 60,
    "KickMessage": "You will be kicked in %s min",
    "BlockCC": false,
    "BlockMessage": "This server is not rookie friendly",
    "InformAtConnect": true,
    "MinPlaytime": 8,
    "MinComPlaytime": 8,
    "UseSteamTime": true,
    "BlockTeams": true,
    "ShowSwitchAtBlock": false,
    "DisableAfterRoundtime": 0,
    "WaitMessage": "Please wait while we fetch your stats."
  }

The file should be called “NoRookies.json” and should be placed in the directory defined as your plugin config directory (default is config://shine/plugins).

The %s placeholders will be replaced by given plug-in message values.
