Would someone please remake it? I'm going to have to take it off and promote manually for now...

After a good week of learning lua, I have successfully made an autopromote script that works just for my server. I will be remaking it tomorrow to be more user-friendly for you all.

Sorry it took so long guys! I got it done finally!

To edit the promotions simply change the first part of the A1-A10 to how ever many hours and the second part to the group.
  Ex: A1 = { [hours] = "group" }

It must be listed in ascending order or it will not work properly.

For right now, it will only work for 10 groups and will only exclude 10 groups. I can extend that if anyone needs it.

EDIT: Sorry to that one person that downloaded it. I fixed it to where it doesn't add you to the same group everytime you die.

UPDATE: Made it add groups by steam id so weird names don't screw up the adding.
UPDATE: Added in a timer with the help of jay.

It works.

I am going to be updating it soon to use a timer so it will check to see if they need a promote every minute or so.

With the help of jay...

UPDATE: Now it will check to see if a player needs a promotion every 10 seconds, so no more waiting for them to die.

Quote, as in a ' (single) or " (double)...which?

oh, a double quote. i didn't try single quotes but it probably would do the same thing, i'm sure it could be fixed though with some simple string manipulations i just don't know any lua lol

Hey guys, I just checked back here and it seems a lot has gone on with this addon. What's going on right now? If mine is broken and someone else has made a working version, then I'll just link to it and stop development on this. If there is no new better addon than mine and mine is broken, then I'll fix mine and release a new version.

So what's going on?

Pizza.
Welcome Back! Everyone missed you... autopromote (as you can see) was/is quite popular.
Seems it broke somewhere along the way..not sure why. Several started working on it.
MajorPain in the post above yours seems to be the latest.
Also, someone on Facepunch tried having someone do all the work for them
