General
Debug
Debug: flip to true for extra chatter in ArkApi.log while you sort things out. Keep it false day to day.
SaveCounterSeconds
SaveCounterSeconds: how often the running counters are written to the database, in seconds. 60 means a crash loses at most one minute of progress per player. Smaller saves more often.
Commands
Commands: what folks type in chat to call these up. Change a word if you like, or blank one out to hide it.
PlaytimeCMD
show your time played, points earned, and time to next reward.
TopCMD
show the players with the most time on the server.
Rewards
Rewards: the payout rules.
IntervalMinutes
IntervalMinutes: how many minutes a player must be online to earn one payout. 30 means a reward every half hour of play.
RewardPoints
RewardPoints: the base points paid at each interval. 100 means 100 points every interval.
GroupMultiplier
GroupMultiplier: a boost for players in a Permissions group. The key is the group name and the value is how much to multiply the payout. { "VIP": 2.0 } pays VIP players double. A player in more than one listed group gets the biggest boost. Needs Permissions.dll. If it is missing, everyone earns the base rate.
VIP
MaxMultiplier
MaxMultiplier: a cap on the boost above, so a stack of groups can not print money. 5.0 means no one earns more than five times the base, no matter their groups.
OnlyRewardIfMoving
OnlyRewardIfMoving: set to true to block AFK farming. A player who stands still earns no time toward a reward. Set to false to pay for any time online. Off by default.
IdleMoveThreshold
IdleMoveThreshold: how far a player must move each second to count as active, in game units. Only used when OnlyRewardIfMoving is true. 100 is a small step. A bigger number needs more real movement to count.
AnnounceReward
AnnounceReward: set to true to tell a player in chat when they earn a payout. Set to false to pay quietly.
ListCount
ListCount: how many rows the /playtimetop leaderboard shows.
Milestones
Milestones: a one time bonus and a server shout when a player passes big hour totals.
Enabled
Enabled: set to true to turn on hour milestones.
Hours
Hours and BonusPoints: these two lists line up by position. A player who passes Hours[0] hours online earns BonusPoints[0] points, and so on. Keep both lists the same length.
BonusPoints
Permissions
Permissions: needed for the VIP group boost. Needs Permissions.dll.
Enabled
Enabled: true lets the plugin look up groups for the VIP boost. Turn it off, or skip the dll, and everyone just earns the base rate.
ArkShop
ArkShop: the points economy for the payout. Needs ArkShop.dll.
Enabled
Enabled: set to true to pay points through ArkShop. If off or missing, time is still tracked but no points are paid.
Discord
Discord: optional posts for hour milestones.
Enabled
Enabled: true starts sending milestone posts over to Discord. Leave it false and they stay in game only.
WebhookURL
WebhookURL: drop in the webhook link for the Discord channel you want posts to land in.
Username
Username: the name shown on each Discord post.
ServerName
ServerName: the name in the footer line. Fill in your server name.

Database: where lifetime totals are saved. SQLite needs no setup. MySQL can share across servers.
UseMySQL
UseMySQL: false for a local SQLite file (zero setup), true for a MySQL server.
SQLiteDatabasePath
SQLiteDatabasePath: used only when UseMySQL is false. Leave "" to keep the file beside the plugin as PlaytimeRewards.db.
