    Plugin category: General

    Suggested name: VoteShare

    What I want: I would like a plugin that allows me to share votes across multiple servers, somewhat similar to the VoteSend plugin. If someone would please make a new plugin which has similar features & most of all, works on the latest Bukkit version, that would be great. I would really very much appreciate it.

    Ideas for commands:
    /VS Reload - Reloads the config.
    /VS Test - Sends a test vote.

    Ideas for permissions: No permissions.

    When I'd like it by: Whenever possible.

    Jack_J12 How do you want to share the votes? What will you do with the votes? Do you want to throw a vote event on every server when you get a vote?

    Basically what I want to happen is when someone votes on a server, the votes get sent to all the servers, meaning they will receive all the voting rewards on all servers, no matter which server they vote on. What do you mean by what will I do with the votes?

    Jack_J12 Well before somebody makes this he needs to know what to make.
    In this case I probably just need to catch an event, send it to the other servers and rethrow it there.
    You will need an open port on the server that gets the votes though.

    timtower Isn't the default Votifier port (8192) open?

    Yes, but I need a port open to be able to send messages to the other servers.
    I will try to explain:
    I need a way to communicate between the servers. I can only have one server listen to the Votifier event. If I would listen on every server to that event then I would create an infinite loop.

    So I need an additional port to send information on.

    The main server will receive a vote, it will throw an event, I catch the event, send a message to the other server that re-throw the event catched by the main server.

    Port will be configurable in the config, but it needs one for sure. I really don't mind which one.

    timtower Then 8192 I guess, seeing as how that's already open :p

    timtower Awesome. I tried using VoteSend and got errors the other day. I may have been doing something wrong, but whatever. I want to use yours when it's finished!

    Onlineids Uhm.. :p I don't?

    It's possible to send votes to servers that aren't connected through a Bungee or LilyPad instance.

    Main in main server, change port
    Listener on different servers, change port and IP to main server IP

    Thank you, I really appreciate it, I'll be testing it out shortly. When you said main server, do you mean the hub/lobby?

    timtower Ahh okay, thank you very much.

    timtower The VoteResendListener doesn't generate a config file, is it not supposed to?

    timtower Thanks, going to test it now.

    timtower I don't quite understand the config for the VoteResendMain, all is says is "port: 1234". Doesn't it need a public key & IP in order for it to work with Votifier?

    I listen to events on the server, so I don't need a key. I also don't need an IP because you are looking at the host plugin.
    The other plugin has an IP that you need to fill in, that would be the IP of the host plugin.
