Heads Leaderboards

New version contains a bug fix for setup command and adds a backup method of retrieving playnames from uuid in case the mojang server is down.

Fix for UUID format that doesn't have "-"

This update brings some major changes to Heads Leaderboards. But don't worry, it's still backwards compatible with your old leaderboards!! The first change you will notice is that the leaderboard.yml is gone and replaced with a Leaderboards directory containing a separate file for each leaderboard. Everything else is related to MySQL leaderboards. In the new yml's for the leaderboards you will notice plenty of new options. First, Database is now a variable for each leaderboard. This will allow you to connect different leaderboards to different databases. Solving one of the most requested features. Second, you will notice a variable for usingUUID. When set to true, you can use a UUID column instead of playernames and the plugin will plugin the playername from Mojang. Third, you will notice the variable for multiStat. When enabled and setup this will allow you to show two stats on one table. For instance you could have a pvp leaderboard that shows both Kills and Deaths of the leaders. The leaderboard will still be sort by the first stat.

This update brings support for flat file SQLite databases (like Scoreboardstats uses, ie. ".db" files).

Sorry, Had a chunk of code left that required a SQL database connection even when using Flat File Storage. FIXED!

No MySQL, No Worries. Heads Leaderboards now support Flat File Storage. Even if you don't using any other plugin, you can now have leaderboards by simply pointing the plugin to the stats directory of your world!! Supports both JSON and YML files. Supports both files named by UUID and PlayerName.

Added a cyclicUpdater option to the config. If you enable this option, then when the updater runs (either due to the update interval or the hlbupdate command) it will only update the number of leaderboards listed at "leaderboardsPerUpdate". The next time the updater runs it will update the next group of leaderboards, and so on. This option is only needed if you are using many leaderboards and you are having lag spikes when all of the heads(leaderboards) update at once.

BUG FIX - Major bug in the block listener than was spamming console

Sorry, fixed a bug in the code that meant the leaderboard was being create 1 less than hlbsize.

Here is a new release. I rewrote much of the code within the plugin and added sign customization, the ability to change the leaderboard numbers within the config, and a leaderboard updater so your leaderboards shouldn't break when updating from a older version of the plugin.

Heads Leaderboards 2.1 Released. Adds powerful options for sorting and displaying data like collecting stats by World or other Customizable Variables.
