Dynmap Has Been Updated! (Reinstall)

You might have to backup your config file and delete it to fix town upkeep!

Version 0.2.3

Features

• Per-Town and Per-Nation Upkeep/Income Toggles:

  • Added upkeep_enabled and income_enabled flags to towns; nations get upkeep_enabled.
  • New admin commands:
    • /badmin town toggle <upkeep|income> <TownName> [on|off|toggle|view]
    • /badmin nation toggle upkeep <NationName> [on|off|toggle|view]
  • Income and upkeep tasks now respect these flags.

• Data Version 3 Migration:

  • Automatic migration of towns.json and nations.json to add the new flags with safe defaults (true).

• Config Versioning with Comment-Preserving Updates:

  • Introduced config_version with a version-and-rewrite updater.
  • On update, the plugin backs up config.yml, writes the new default (keeping all comments), and overlays user values.
  • Map sections like globalResources.income and globalResources.ore merge new defaults without overwriting user values.
  • User lists like mining.source-blocks are preserved as-is.

• Upkeep Item Consistency and Messages:

  • Fixed upkeep messages to display the configured upkeep item for towns and nations.
  • Resolved stale command references on config reload by re-registering command executors and listeners.

• Backups Enhanced:

  • config.yml is now included in automatic backups.

Fixes

• Corrected YAML structure in default config.yml to prevent parsing issues.
• Ensured reload rebinds commands and listeners to fresh managers after config changes.

Version 0.2.2

Bug Fixes

• Data Loading Robustness:
  • Port data loading (ports.json) has been enhanced to transparently support both map-based ( { "1": ... } ) and array-based ( [ { ... } ] ) JSON formats.
• UI Broke Itself:
  • Fixed a crash on the "World" page that occurred when towns.json failed to load. The town search filter will no longer attempt to process an empty or invalid list of towns.

Version 0.2.1

Features

• Core Territory Management:
  • Added a new /town core command, allowing town leaders (or ranks with the SET_CORE permission) to change their town's core territory.
  • Implemented a configurable cooldown to prevent frequent changes.
  • Added /badmin town core <TownName> for administrators to set the core territory for any town.
• Wilderness & Unclaimed Land Protection:
  • Introduced a new world-protection section in config.yml.
  • Administrators can now separately configure permissions for place, break, interact, and chest actions in both the wilderness (chunks with no territory) and in unclaimed territories.
• Administrator Bypass Mode:
  • Introduced a new /badmin bypass command, allowing administrators with the appropriate permission to toggle a bypass mode.
  • When enabled, bypass mode lets administrators ignore all town and plot protections, including restrictions on building, breaking blocks, opening chests, and interacting with entities.
• Data Versioning & Migration:
  • Added a data versioning system to automatically manage and upgrade data files (towns.json, nations.json, players.json, etc.). Will be used for future updates.

Version 0.1.9

Features

• Ports System:

  • Introduced a comprehensive port system for fast travel between towns with /ports create, delete, warp, permission, and price commands.
  • Ports have a configurable protection radius, warp timer, and pricing system based on town relationships.
  • Boat Warping: Added config options (must-be-in-boat-for-warp, not-in-boat-price-multiplier) and robust logic to ensure players and their boats are teleported correctly.
  • Automatic Cleanup: Ports are now automatically deleted if the territory they are in is unclaimed, captured in war, or if the parent town is deleted.

• Admin Port Commands:

  • Implemented a full suite of administrative commands under /badmin port for creating, deleting, teleporting to, and managing prices and permissions for any port on the server.

• In-Game Guide Expansion:

  • Added two new, detailed pages to the in-game guide (/burlan guide) to explain the mechanics and commands for the new Ports system.

Improvements

• World Protection:

  • Players can now always enter boats and mount rideable animals within claimed territories, even without explicit interact permissions.

• Configuration Reloading:

  • The /badmin reload config command has been overhauled to correctly apply changes to all running systems, including the port warp timer and ore deletion, without requiring a server restart.
  • Added a new /badmin reload ports command for more granular reloading.

• Command Usability:

  • Added a clear argument to /ports permission and /badmin port permission for easier management of access overrides.
  • Improved tab-completion for /ports permission to intelligently filter out the player's own town from suggestions.

Bug Fixes

• Port Protection Radius: Fixed a critical bug where port protection only applied to the central block instead of the entire configured radius.
• Warp Payment Timing: Corrected a major bug where the fee for a port warp was taken before the teleport was complete. Payment is now correctly processed only after a successful warp.
• Boat Warping:
  • Fixed an issue where being in a boat would instantly cancel a warp due to false movement detection.
  • Resolved a bug where players in a boat were not being teleported correctly to their destination.
• Warp Confirmation: Fixed a bug allowing players to use /ports confirm even after leaving the port's radius.

Version 0.1.8

Features

• Advanced Rank Permissions:

  • Replaced the BUILD permission with separate PLACE and BREAK permissions for more granular control over blocks in claimed territories.

• Default Town Ranks:

  • Introduced a "Default Rank" system, enabling town leaders to set a specific custom rank that is automatically assigned to new members upon joining via the /town rank default <rank> command.
  • Added default-rank and leader-can-set-default-rank options to config.yml for server-wide control over this feature.

• Radius-Based Ore Deletion:

  • Implemented a fully configurable system to remove specified ore blocks within a set radius around players.
  • Included a safeguard to prevent players from receiving drops or experience from targeted ore blocks, even if they break them before replacement. (lamo -sierraam)

Improvements

• Permission System Overhaul:
  • Custom ranks now completely override default member permissions. If a player has a custom rank, their abilities are defined exclusively by that rank.
• Guide Updates:
  • The in-game guide (/burlan guide) has been updated to include detailed information about the new Default Rank feature.

Version 0.1.7

Features

• Town-Specific PvP Toggle:
  • Added a new command, /town pvp <on|off>, which allows town leaders and officers to enable or disable PvP within their claimed territories.
  • Added a PVP permission to Town ranks
• Global PvP Configuration:
  • Added a force-pvp option to config.yml, giving server administrators the ability to globally enforce PvP settings (on, off, or none).
  • Implemented a pvp-command-cooldown-seconds setting in config.yml to prevent spamming of the /town pvp command.

Bug Fixes & Refinements

• Comprehensive PvP Protection:

  • Expanded the territory protection system to correctly handle projectile damage, ensuring that arrows and other projectiles are now subject to the same PvP rules as melee attacks.

• Improved Information Displays:

  • The /town info command now displays the current PvP status of the town, making it easy for players to see the rules at a glance.
  • Updated the in-game guide (/burlan guide) to include detailed information about the new PvP toggle feature.

Version 0.1.6

Bug Fixes & Refinements

• Admin Command Reliability:
  • Safer Rank Management: Improved the /badmin nation rank property and /badmin town rank property commands to prevent errors. The commands now only accept true or false as valid inputs.
  • More Complete Reloading: The /badmin reload all command now properly reloads nation data in addition to all other configurations, ensuring that all plugin data is refreshed correctly. A new /badmin reload nations command has also been added for more specific reloading.
• Corrected Tab Completer Logic:
  • Permission-Based Suggestions: Added comprehensive permission checks to all admin tab completers (/badmin town, /badmin nation, /badmin player). Subcommand suggestions are now dynamically filtered based on the user's permissions, preventing them from seeing commands they cannot use.
  • Nation Rank Assignment: Fixed a bug in the /badmin nation rank assign and unassign tab completer where it was parsing arguments incorrectly, leading to failed command suggestions.

Version 0.1.4

Features

• Expanded Web Export Configuration: The web-export feature in config.yml has been overhauled to provide more granular control over data exports. Instead of a single output folder, you can now configure individual paths for each exported JSON file (world.json, towns.json, nations.json).
• Nation Data Integration: Added full support for loading and processing nations.json, allowing the web map to display alliances between towns. This can be loaded manually or automatically via the HTML configuration.
• Nation-Based Territory Display:
  • Nation Ownership: Territories can now be colored based on the owning nation's color, providing a clear high-level overview of alliances.
  • Nation Names & Capitals: Added options to display nation names and a star icon over their capital towns, making it easy to identify key political entities.
• Hierarchical Display Logic: Implemented a display hierarchy where enabling nation-level display options (Ownership, Names, Capitals) automatically disables the corresponding town-level options to prevent visual clutter and maintain clarity.

UI Enhancements

• Dynamic Display Options: The sidebar has been updated with new toggles for "Show Nation Ownership", "Show Nation Names", and "Show Nation Capitals".

Performance

• Optimized Territory Lookups: Implemented spatial hashing for territory lookups by creating a chunkToTerritoryIdMap. This significantly improves performance by changing chunk-based territory lookups from a slow, iterative search (O(n)) to an instant, direct lookup (O(1)). This reduces server load during critical operations like block protection checks. (OR I THINK -pizzlad = i dont even know what this means lmao, kane just told me to and i added it in. I might read about it later on. Looks promising...)

This Changelog has been written by.. Pizzlad!

Features

• Block Glitch Prevention: Added a sophisticated system to prevent players from towering up using block glitches in protected claims.
  • Features smart detection that checks player location, vertical movement, and head angle to ensure accuracy.
  • Includes a configurable "anger level" that decays over time, preventing false positives.
  • Punishments include on-screen messages, random camera spinning, and configurable potion effects.
• Mining Guide Page: Added a new /b guide page dedicated to explaining the custom mining system.
  • Dynamically displays information from the server's configuration, such as mining locations and source blocks.

Improvements

• Warzone Map Display: The minimap and /t map now display captured warzone territories with relationship-based colors for the core chunks.
  • Allied-owned warzones appear blue.
  • Neutral and enemy-owned warzones appear yellow.
  • Unowned warzones remain red.
  • The core chunk of a captured warzone is now marked with a unique symbol to distinguish it from a standard core chunk.

Bug Fixes

• Contestable Warzones: Fixed a critical issue where captured warzone territories could not be attacked by other towns. They are now correctly treated as contestable land, with the current owner acting as the defender.
• Warzone Flag Placement: Resolved a bug that prevented players from placing war flags in unowned warzone territories.
• Warzone Minimap Visibility: Fixed an issue where warzone territories were incorrectly displayed as unclaimed land instead of hostile territory.
• Block Glitch Prevention Bypass: Patched a loophole that allowed players to bypass the anti-glitch system by exploiting the height-tracking logic.
