hey, I saw a thread 7 months old where it says its solved and if I remove the playtimetracker (which I do every wipe) the players should be leaving the current permission groups they have gotten to but that doesnt happen, they stay in the groups and I really need them to be cleared from them

do I perhaps need to make a rank thats requires 0 hours for it work?

You should be able to create a "Reset" group that does not even require you to make a BetterChat group and perhaps set it to 0.05 or some other value so that players with 0.00 playtime get their former groups revoked and reset properly. If you do have many ranks, PlayerRankings will automatically correct itself once it sees that a player has ranked up from a previous rank and this process is not very necessary, but having this reset group should quickly solve your problem.

will try it out :) thanks

hey mate, I did the test with putting a rank at 0.05 which does give the players that rank pretty quickly after entering but... my problem is still the same when it comes to wiping the server and playtime.. they will be kept in the current rank they were left in before the wipe even tho their playtime is gone.

When they rank up afterwards they will leave the past rank and go up into the other but not the other way around

could you please take a look at the issue Im having, I really need it to work as you say its should be doing.

Did you wipe the playtime database from whichever plugin you are using?

yes, Im using playtime tracker and correct I always remove the data files on wipe

Then it must be something with the configuration, I'd have to see it in order to view the problem.

This is how my config looks

{
"Bronze VIP": {
"Oxide Group": "BronzeVIP",
"Playtime": 12.0
},
"Earn vip for the current wipe by spending time": {
"Oxide Group": "Weekly VIP progression, to see more do /ranks",
"Playtime": 0.05
},
"Gold VIP": {
"Oxide Group": "GoldVIP",
"Playtime": 30.0
},
"Settings": {
"Ignore Admins": false
},
"Silver VIP": {
"Oxide Group": "SilverVIP",
"Playtime": 20.0
}
}

Merged post

I mean... since it gives the ranks as intended but just doesnt remove them its kind of odd

Do you mean that they hold multiple ranks at once? Did you perhaps try to give them any ranks manually or did you make some modifications and they were auto-upgraded with ranks that they shouldn't be in?

after a wipe they will be in multiple ranks yes, they will still have their highest rank but also get the new 0.05 that should be erasing the highest one.

I havnt given any permissions manually, everything is based on this plugin, the only thing and its the only thing Ive been needing to do is to remove them all every wipe from the tiers they have reached during the wipe cycle

Try to remove the older ranks manually and see if they are returned to the player. If so, then that means their playtime has reached that rank status already and it should go back to being normal.

not really sure how you mean with older ranks

By "old ranks" I mean the ranks that they are not supposed to be in.

ok I just tried it with the original config but with lowered times, after gaining the loyalty.gold and then wiping the playtimetracker files, loading it up again and then reloading playerrankings, I still had loyalty.gold AND then when I started getting the ranks I got loyalty.bronze while also having loyalty.gold so it didnt remove it
