How do I make operators/admins not immune to bounties?
This usually happens when players have the *
permission which gives them all permissions including notbounties.immune
. The best practice is to not use the *
permission and give admins permissions manually. NotBounties has just notbounties.admin
for admin permissions. The downside is that it can take a lot of time to set up. For a quick fix, you can add the notbounties.immune
permission to the admins in your permissions manager and set it to false to override the value.
I got an error about bad YAML formatting, how do I fix it?
This error means you've violated some rules for the yml files. Usually a long error message will be sent along with the plugin error that tells you where in the file the configuration is broken. Alternatively, you can use sites like yamlchecker to tell you what is wrong. Once you've fixed everything, save the file and reload the plugin.
If you are interested in learning more about YAML Formatting, take a look here here.
Some common YAML mistakes include
- Using special characters in strings without wrapping them in single quotes. Most of the time when you use the
%
symbol, it is part of a placeholder which needs to be wrapped in single quotes like:'%notbounties_amouint%'
- Using tab instead of spaces
- Having incorrect number of spaces before keys
- Using lists wrong.
correctly-using-percent: 'This is a string that works 100% of the time'
# the double singe quotes will be turned into 1 single quote
single-quote-apostrophy: 'Ain''t nobody telling me I can''t use apostrophies'
configuration-section:
data: This data is indented using spaces and not tab
# this following key violates yaml formatting because there is no value for the key and it isn't a configuration section
bad-formatting:
another-configuration-section:
# here are a few list examples, you can surround these with single quotes too
list-example-1: [Hello, This, Is, A, List, Of, String]
empty-list: []
list-example-2:
- this
- is
- also
- a
- list
The bounty posters just show a question mark.
This happens when skins aren't properly loaded by the plugin. This is a complicated issue, so the best thing you could do is to send a message in the Support Discord to get this fixed.
The skins on the bounty posters aren't updating.
This is intended to happen with the default config to save processing resources. Templates are saved after posters are created to be used again in the future. You can disable saving templates by setting save-templates
to false in the config. This will generate a new image every time a poster is created. If a player changes their skin, the bounty posters will automatically update with the new skin on the next server restart.
I don't want claiming a bounty to remove the whole bounty.
