Changelog
Here are all changes since the first public version v0.2. Downloads here
Why this version?
- This first digit is the basic version. v0 means a beta version, v1 will be a release version
- The second one is changed after enormous changes
- The last digit is modified when I made a normal amount of changes (small new features, fixes, improvement)
Compatibility
As far as I know PLM works with nearly any bukkit version. Always use the newest versions, there is no difference concerning the compatibility. I do not advise to use the versions v0.2 and v0.2.1.
Overview
v0.6 ALPHA (Apr 26, 2014)
- Added support for UUIDs implemented in 1.7.8 or newer
- No changes concerning AdvancedMessagesMode -> You'll have to change the player entry in AdvancedMessages.yml if someone decides to change his name (still better than those large IDs as headings)
- As soon as a player joins and quits, PLM will migrate the player's old data to UUID based data
- Downwards compatible: You will be able to utilize new features although you use old server versions like 1.5.2, 1.6.4 or 1.7.2
v0.5.4 BETA (Apr 13, 2014)
- Added support for "/vanish fj", "/vanish fq", "/v fj", "/v fq": Activate it in config.yml below "VanishNoPacket". Note: You have to disable usefakejoinmessage and usefakequitmessage in order to hide fake messages when a player vanishes without using "...fq" or "...fj"
v0.5.3 BETA (Feb 24, 2014)
- Added "%nickname" which is the same like "%playername" but it supports Essentials nick names, too. In contrast to "%chatplayername" it doesn't use prefix and suffix (Prefix and suffix can be used with "%prefix" and "%suffix". For normal cases the structure "prefix name suffix" should be enough as it is used in "%chatplayername")
- Fixed bug: The prefix was shown although no nick name was defined
- No error log anymore if the Essentials version is too old. Just a simple error message remains. Messages are not affected anymore
v0.5.2 BETA (Feb 09, 2014)
- Added Essentials nick name support
- Can be turned off in config.yml
- Uses the prefix defined for Essentials (e.g.: Name)
- Only compatible with the newest Essentials versions. If you are not able to update Essentials, set "useEssentialsNickName" to false (config.yml)
- Is included with %chatplayername
- Performance improvements -> Reduced process time from average 7ms per join to 1ms (the values won't be the same for your server but the difference between v0.5.1 and v0.5.2 should be the same)
- messages.txt won't be checked every time a player joins anymore -> To apply new messages use the command /plm reload
- PLM.yml will be saved every ten minutes (12000 ticks at 20tps) -> Changes have to be done when the server is closed
- Fixed bug when random mode had only one message
- Added new placeholders for Standard Mode and Advanced Messages Mode:
- %levels (current level)
- %slots (max server slots)
- %health
- %comparedHealth (<the current health> / <the max health>)
- %food (food level)
- %IP (you should only use it for Admins or Mods)
- %gamemode (the gamemodes: "Survival", "Creative" and "Adventure". No translations possible yet)
Tested with Craftbukkit 1.7.2 R0.2
v0.5.1 BETA (Dec 21, 2013)
- Added random mode which can be activated in the config.yml. This new option chooses one message from all possible messages for the joining/quitting player NOTE: This option contains a bug. Please use PLM v0.5.2 BETA
- Adjusted PLM for VanishNoPacket 3.18.5 or newer
- A lot of code improvement for the future. Currently not important for you but it was a lot of work ;)
Tested with Craftbukkit 1.7.2 R0.1
v0.5 BETA (Oct 06, 2013)
- New placeholders:
- %onlineplayers shows the number of visible players on the server
- %prefix and %suffix (That does not replace %chatplayername, it's just additional)
- Channel support for Herochat
- General settings for all join/quit messages
- Special settings for the three sections (Advanced Messages Mode)
v0.4 BETA (Jun 16, 2013)
- New placeholders:
- %logins shows the total logins of the player
- %totallogins: The number of all logins
- %uniqueplayers shows how many unique players logged in
- %country: The country the player joins from (using GeoIPTools)
- Code optimization
- Added VanishNoPacket support
- PLM is now able to detect whether a player is vanished when he is joining/leaving
- Use the normal messages you defined in PLM as fake join/quit messages when you type in /vanish
- New options for the Advanced Messages Mode:
- WM (Welcome message): A message for the joining player (can be more than one as well)
- PM (Public message): An additional message for the players who are already on the server. Using permissions you can define who will see this message
- New placeholders for these two new options:
- %playerlist: The players on the server
- %chatplayerlist: The players on the server with formatted names
- %groupplayerlist: The players in the same group like the joining player on the server
- %groupchatplayerlist: The players in the same group like the joining player on the server with formatted names
