Advertiser

How It Works

1. User runs /ad command
2. Plugin sends a request to the node.js server to get a token
3. Node.js server generates a token, shortens it in a url via adf.ly and returns it to the plugin
4. Send the user the url
5. User clicks on the url, watches an ad by adf.ly and gets redirected to the node.js server and automatically redeems the token
6. The next time the server pulls all newly redeemed tokens, the user gets a reward

Getting Started
You need to install this plugin to your Bukkit/Spigot server and host the node.js server.
You can find the server here.

Installing
Put the .jar, you can either compile it yourself or use a pre-compiled .jar under the releases tab.

Start your server, wait for the message that a config file has been generated and stop your server.

Edit your config and restart your server.

Config
server.ip: IP of the node.js server

server.port: Port of the node.js server

secret: Secret which is used to authentificate each other (plugin and node.js server)

cooldown.pull: Time in seconds until the next pull of redeemed tokens

cooldown.generate: Time in seconds until a player can get a new token

reward.money: The amount of money the user should recieve



This project was done in a few work hours and if someone finds it useful, I'd be willing to work further on it (e.g. Item rewards, optimizing performance, custom messages). Feel free to give me your honest opinions.
