Initial Installation

  • Step 1: After buying the configuration, download them from your BuiltByBit Licenses Page

  • Step 2: After downloading, unzip the files and find the folder which matches your server's version

  • Step 3: Inside of this version folder you will see two others - DeluxeMenus & VotingPlugin; Overwrite the contents of your own DeluxeMenus & VotingPlugin folders with these

WARNING: Doing so will completely overwrite the files you currently have - ensure you have backups before doing so.

  • Step 4: Restart your server to apply the changes

NOTICE: While reloading the plugins may also work, this can cause memory leaks and data corruption in some cases and is not recommended.

Vote Site Setup - The Defaults

  • Step 1: Go to your Voting Plugin/Config.yml and make sure that you have the following line set to true

AutoCreateVoteSites: true

  • Step 2: Go to your Voting Plugin/VoteSites.yml and look at the examples given - if you have any of these websites linked to your server, you may use the examples and paste your information into them.

NOTICE: These example vote sites do not have appropriate Voting ID's currently. When you send a test/real vote to your server, a skeleton config will be made. Simply copy the skeleton config's VoteSite ID and paste it over the top of the incorrect one. Then delete the autopopulated information. For more information on VoteSite ID's continue to the Custom Vote Sites portion of this documentation
