❓ VotingPlugin — Quick FAQ

1) /vote says “vote here: www.votelinkhere.com”

This is VentureChat intercepting the /vote command.
Remove or change VentureChat’s /vote alias so VotingPlugin handles it instead.

• Check VentureChat’s config for command aliases and remove /vote there.
• Restart/reload VentureChat and test /vote again.

2) How do I add rewards for crate keys?

Put the crate plugin’s give-key command under a reward’s Commands list. Example:

Rewards: Commands:

• "command here %player%"

Examples (replace with your crate plugin’s command):

• CrazyCrates: "cc give physical <CrateName> 1 %player%"
• CMI: "cmi give %player% key:<KeyName> 1"
• CratesPlus: "crate givekey %player% <CrateName> 1"

Use your crate plugin’s exact syntax. %player% is replaced with the voter’s name.

3) How do I test a vote?

Use:

• /av vote <player> <site>

---

4) YML error

Your file is formatted incorrectly. Validate it here:

• https://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

Tips:

• Use spaces, not tabs.
• Keep indentation consistent.
• Quote strings with special characters ('&aText').

5) “No voting site with the service site: ‘SERVICE SITE HERE’”

Either Votifier isn’t working or the ServiceSite value doesn’t match.

• Run a test vote and check console.
• Fix using this guide: https://wiki.bencodez.com/en/VotingPlugin/Votifier-Troubleshooting

6) “No plugin.yml / failed to load”

Redownload the jar. The file is likely corrupted.

---

7) Extreme troubleshooting / debugging

• In Config.yml: set DebugLevel: EXTRA
• For proxy issues: enable BungeeDebug in BungeeSettings.yml and enable debug on the proxy.

---

8) Hex color support?

Yes. Use the format:

• &#FF0000# (surround the hex with &# and #)

---

9) Reload command

• /av reload
• /av reloadall (also reloads user storage)

---

10) Out of memory / resource limit reached (Pterodactyl)

If memory is fine, you may be hitting the PID limit. On the node:

• Increase "container_pid_limit" to 1024 in /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml (default is 512), then restart the node services.
