AMP Auto Stop

A instance auto stop plugin for AMP by Cubecoders that can be used to stop an instance whenever no players are online.

Note: I recommend https://github.com/winglessraven/AMP-Discord-Bot to be paired with this for ability to start the server again outside of AMP. I used their code to help me learn how to make mine so thanks to @winglessraven

Configuration Steps

Configure AMP

Before the plugin can be used you need to configure AMP in a specific way. NOTE: The plugin cannot be used on ADS. It can only run on non-ADS instances.

Activate with a Developer Licence

• Request a developer licence from AMP via the licence portal https://manage.cubecoders.com/Login
• Once you have received the licence log into your server console and as the amp user run ampinstmgr stop [ADS INSTANCE NAME] followed by ampinstmgr reactivate [INSTANCE NAME] [DEVELOPER KEY] where [INSTANCE NAME] is the name of your instance you want to set up a bot for and [DEVELOPER KEY] is the key received from CubeCoders.
• Start your ADS instance again with ampinstmgr start [ADS INSTANCE NAME].

Installing and Enabling the Plugin

• Edit the AMPConfig.conf file in the root folder of your instance (e.g. /home/amp/.ampdata/instances/INSTANCENAME01/AMPConfig.conf)
• Under AMP.LoadPlugins add AMPAutoStop to the list (e.g. AMP.LoadPlugins=["FileManagerPlugin","EmailSenderPlugin","WebRequestPlugin","LocalFileBackupPlugin","CommonCorePlugin","AMPAutoStop"])
• In the plugins folder for your instance (e.g. /home/amp/.ampdata/instances/INSTANCENAME01/Plugins/) create a new folder called AMPAutoStop and insert the .dll file from the current release
• Restart your instance with ampinstmgr restart [INSTANCE NAME]
• Log in to your instance and you will see a new menu item under Configuration for the AMPAutoStop

AMP Menu Settings
