I thought about this plugin which may be helpful for servers out there. After running the command the output shows the time a player joined; the date the player joined; the time the player quit; the date the player quit; the time zone of the player and how much time they played. Command format: Command: /timer <player> Arguments: <player>: a string of the players username Purpose: show the output as the example below. Command: /timer debug <join time> <quit time> Arguments: <join time>: a string of the join time <quit time>: a string of the quit time Purpose: just a testing command that would do the same as a real player Output example: Player: Steve Last join time: Monday, May 15, 2017 at 3:30 PM (ET) Last leave time: Monday, May 15, 2917 at 4:45 PM (ET) Duration time: 1 HOUR, 15 MINUTES While you make this plugin, it could also be useful if you add an Application Program Interface just to reward the player depending on their play time. Thanks for all, I tried my best while writing this and read the README.
i dont think there's any know way to obtain timezone then guessing, i may be wrong doe i also fail to see a logical uses for it
hmm that's actually perfect, at least you arent using IP for localizations... and it's not too much guesses/misses
I think that's what he meant. A VPN user has a different IP, so the timezone is no longer accurate. Nothing to do with VPS.
Did you even read his post... For example, if the player joins every day according to their own timezone.
i thought they meant that the timezone showing thing is not how they wanted exactly but i prefer using hours like join every 29 hour (+5 for begin more flexible) you also cant expect player to live on their timezone(yes most people do wake up at morning and sleep at night, but not all) also how is that better then using hours back on topic: i think there's a time reward or time rank plugin, that should work...
I am quite sure very few people are still awake at 4:00 a.m. so it would work better with this. If it is made in the way you mentioned, it will become accumulative, so it may lead to some unpredictabilities in servers whose managers want to apply actuarial science
Not sure why everyone is talking about the timezone... Surely the important data is how long players have played, and how often they come back. I've been wanting something like this ever since testing the Google Analytics plugin, but unfortunately never got around to starting it.
