I recreated the plugin!

This plugin is now available at this location. I chose to put it on the spigot page, because it still had a good active community, rather than bukkit.

This project has been inactive because of a hard drive failure that caused the plugin to be gone from my old hard drive.

You can still download the plugins if you want. And if you can, you may change the plugin to fix or customize the plugin. But you may not distribute the plugin, you may only use it for your own server(s).

This plugin will show on the first join a GUI with all the rules (if it fits) and a agree and disagree button. This will make sure that your players know the rules, so that they don't have the excuse of that they didn't know that rule exists.

How to install

Just put the jar file into your plugins folder, launch the server and stop it again. Edit the config.

How does it work

When a player joins GUI Rules checks if it's his first join, or didn't agreed with the rules and got kicked, if so GUI Rules will show a inventory of a chest that you can customize in the config (everything you need to know about the config is in the config). If he clicks agree, the inventory closes and he will never get anything showed from GUI Rules (unless if the config is deleted). If he clicks disagree, he will be kicked until he agrees.

How to use the plugin

You install the plugin and edit the config. When you join the server (for the first time since the plugin was installed) you read the rules and click agree.

Config

#tips:
#   - you can use & in place of § (to get this use 'alt gr' + 'shift' + 's') to get color codes

gui:
    #amount of rows you can fill
    rows: 1
    #the displayname of the inventory
    name: Rules
    #this is a item. 0 is just something i use to be able to get all the data. 
    #0 will mean nothing, but if you add another item, it must be 1 (1 higher then the last one, and the last one was 0, so 0 + 1 = 1)
