Introducing PlayerServers 3.1!

After months of dedicated beta testing and invaluable feedback from our amazing customers, we're thrilled to unveil the new version of PlayerServers. Your support has been instrumental in shaping this release, and we're deeply grateful for your help in making it the best it can be. Let's celebrate our 100th update with the release of PlayerServers 3.1. Thank you!

• Added change password command for Pterodactyl
• Added messaging backend support for the server compass pinger of the new HubCore
• Fixed a bug where if the server creation failed, Pterodactyl user was made for the player, so the next time they try to create a server, they do not see their password

The version of Daemon mentioned in the last build was not the latest. We recommend redownloading it from here.

This build of PlayerServers brings bugfixes and stability improvements:

• Fixed minutes to shut down
• Fixed player count to be set on start up
  
• Various bugfixes on Daemon, downloading the new version is recommended. Download it here.

This is a beta build. While we expect no major bugs or breaking changes in the future, we still recommend not using this build in production. Regular backups are a must to make sure you do not lose any important server files.

Migration system from v2 will be released in the future along with RC versions of the plugin.

After beta testing period, beta builds will be disabled and you'll need to redownload PlayerServers again. Keep up with updates here and on our Discord server in order to know when that's going to happen.

• PlayerServers will no longer add nodes if it can't reach them and authenticate successfully
• Previous builds had an issue where zoneid for CloudFlare was improperly written to config as zone_id instead of zone-id. You need to manually update it in your config.yml
• Fixed cpu limitations incorrectly using 0 (full cpu) if you specified CPU percentage that is less than 100
• Fixed an issue where players were not teleported to their server as it started.

This is a beta build. While we expect no major bugs or breaking changes in the future, we still recommend not using this build in production. Regular backups are a must to make sure you do not lose any important server files.

After beta testing period, beta builds will be disabled and you'll need to redownload PlayerServers again. Keep up with updates here and on our Discord server in order to know when that's going to happen.

• Fixed a bug where one could create multiple nodes with the same name
• Fixed a bug where docker servers could fail to start on some systems. Make sure to download the new daemon
• Minor performance improvements over the board

• This build fixes the issue where Cloudflare dns names are not sent to the player after they are created (so they can not know what is the subdomain for their server)

Make sure to update your messages.toml.

This is the first beta build of v3.1 we'll be releasing on SpigotMC. We recommend customers who were not regularly following beta updates to read previous update logs on BuiltByBit. Moreover, we recommend completely resetting your whole PlayerServers and Database before using this build, or waiting for migration instructions from v2.0 (more on that below).

v3.1 beta7 (this version) is the third beta we'll be releasing to the public. While we expect no major bugs or breaking changes in the future, we still recommend not using this build in production. Regular backups are a must to make sure you do not lose any important server files.

Migration system from v2 will be released in the future along with RC versions of the plugin.

After beta testing period, beta builds will be disabled and you'll need to redownload PlayerServers again. Keep up with updates here and on our Discord server in order to know when that's going to happen.

Beta 7 introduces numerous bugfixes and quality of life improvements:

• Fixed CloudFlare DNS creation and removal
• Drastically improved plugin performance by performing all service tasks in a separate thread (like we used to in v2.0)
• Drastically decreased plugin jar size allowing us to finally publish betas to SpigotMC as well by implementing Hibernate injector

Welcome back after 5 months! It's wonderful to see you again . It's time for yet another v2.0 update. During the last few months, I was too busy to work on PlayerServers, so users had to relay on the stability of v1.2.1, which was exceptionally good. v2.0 - Alpha1 is focused on making v2.0 stable, faster, packs more features from GitLab, now requires Java 16 support and supports Minecraft 1.17+! Let's see what's new:

• From now, the minimum Java version for BungeeCord PlayerServers is Java 16. Per vote on our Discord server, most of our users agreed.
• PlayerServers is now optimized to use nearly every Java 16 feature from var up to text blocks, class records, new switch block & more...
• Introducing new features from GitLab:
  • #52 - custom server name format (experimental)
  • #57 - custom mysql flags / launch options
  • maybe more I can't remember
• An option to enable / disable experimental panel: experimental-panel
• PlayerServerCore support for 1.17.1
• General performance and stability improvements

In the addition to this, PlayerServers will now be updated regularly as before, about once a week until 2.0 is released.

After 2.0 is released, there'll be an update schedule with 2 updates a year (similar to that you got used to with Windows). We'll also introduce PlayerServers Enterprise as a paid addition. Due to strict SpigotMC rules, I'd recommend asking more about it on our Discord server.

Don't forget to update your config yml and review changes here.

• Fixed an issue on server creation due to Passy library not being extracted to the jar on build.

Update logs:

• A new webpanel. It’ll be accessible on http://SERVERIP : PORT (with addition to http://DOMAIN : PORT at future versions). It includes options to edit files, upload files, access the console. It’s based on JPanel - full credits go to them.
• Added /psadmin maintenance
• Added /psadmin stopall
• You can now define template permissions in config.yml
• Added automatic SQL updater which will automatically insert any new important SQL columns to your DB, instead of you having to do that on your own.
• Owners will now be saved as UUIDs, instead of Username, just to make it compatible with all the players who may potentially change their username. Of course, it’s backward compatible with the older system, but those servers will not be updated to the new system automatically until users recreate them.
• Drastically optimized server creation
• Fixed an issue where if there are no ports available, the whole thread would be stuck at an infinite while loop
• Completely removed build-tools from the config.yml. It’ll be replaced with an autodownloader soon.

How to install (don't worry, the install process will become much easier, eventually... This build is only for those who live at the edge )

1. Replace your old PlayerServers.jar
2. Disable multinode if you have it enabled
3. Update your config, as mentioned below
4. Put PlayerServersPanel.jar in your templates directory

Webpanel is not secure! This is a developer sample, just for bug hunting purposes. Your players can use it for bad purposes! Be careful!

Take a look at config changes here.
Please report any issues @ https://gitlab.com/OpenSource02/playerservers/-/issues

I'm posting this version in order to fix the two remaining bugs. The panel is nearly finished now, and only finishing touches are required before the first beta version. I apologize for the delay.

• PlayerServerCore will use UUIDs instead of nicknames now (#45)
• Added new translations for delete command (#47)

Configuration changes are required. Please add new messages.toml variables from here.

• After yesterday's Golden Master release, this update is here to fix a major flaw with MultiNode support for plugins and disabled folders. Please update to this version if you plan on using MultiNode on v1.2. If you do not use MultiNode, you do not need to update.

Additionally, please update Daemon as well from here.

EVEN THO THIS BUILD IS GOLDEN MASTER, IT CAN STILL HAVE SOME ISSUES. FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE, PLEASE KEEP USING v1.1-B

• As already promised at beginning of this year, multinode support finally came to version 1.2 with full templates support.

Download a new version of PlayerServersDaemon here. Keep in mind that you will have to copy your templates folder to each daemon and that those need to contain the exact same files! Learn how to perform this update here.

• The database engine has been modified. There is now a new config option: use-modern-database. If you had no issues before, you may want to set it to false, but you should possibly want to use the new engine. You should try it and see if it works for you. If your players lost access to their servers, simply disable it and proceed with the older version
• Added preparations for the final release of v1.2 supporting MultiNode. If someone is in desperate need of v1.2 with multi-node support, and want to experiment, feel free to contact me on Discord.

Add the following to your config:

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone! (yes, I know it's not the new year yet, but at the time you all manage to read it, it should hopefully be)

Update logs:

• Backported fix for /rename where users were there was no length limit for the server name (#42) from v2.0
• Added new translations | Review messages.toml changes
• Fixed some other issues with /rename
• Removed some unused imports and overall improved code

2021 roadmap:

• 5-15th of January: v1.2 full release with full Multinode support
• 15-25th of January: v2.0 full release which will include these features and further bugfixes

• Fixed bugs with /ps rename. It should work from now.
• Added new translations for license and player servers command. From now, it will be possible to hide the license, if really needed...

Add the following to the top of your messages.toml:

• Fixed issues with Online Server Detector. It should be working fine now.
• Added support for additional file types to config editor:
  • JSON
  • TOML
  • SK
• General Stability and Performance improvements to PlayerServerCore
• Fixed issues where users had to type /ps remove more times in order for it to be properly removed.

The first development build was catastrophically bugged to the point that it was completely misfunctioning and not working at all, so this one came a little earlier than expected. This one contains the two new highly wanted features: MultiNode support and the ability for players to rename their servers. Both need to be manually enabled in the config.

READ THIS: In order to proceed with this upgrade, you'll need to execute the following database update commands and don't forget to update or reset both config.yml and messages.toml:

Code (Text):

mysql -u root -p

Code (Text):

USE (your playerservers database name);

Code (Text):

ALTER TABLE PLAYERSERVERS ADD COLUMN NODE varchar(20);

Logs:

• Edited messages.toml. Please regenerate the messages config as if you use the older one, it may be empty or not working properly. You can find the new messages.toml here.
• Fixed an issue with messages that prevented the previous version from enabling and using any commands.
• Added multi-node: false and experimental-rename: false to the config.yml as experimental options
• PlayerServers MutliNode support is completed. You can sign up as a beta-tester on our Discord here
  • Features
    • Add an unlimited amount of nodes
    • Load balancing - new servers will be created on the node with the smallest number of servers.
    • Connections keys for authentification
    • Lightning-fast communication between frontend and backend.
  • Known issues
    • /ps restart is not implemented yet
    • There may be some issues with /ps remove where you may have to execute it more two times in order to have your server removed
    • The online Server checker does not work. It will be possible to start an unlimited amount of servers.
    • If the error happens in the creation, the player will not automatically be removed from the database.
    • Poor error handling

• Performance improvements across the whole plugin.
• Added the option to rename Servers with /ps rename <new-name>. Experimental and needs to be enabled in the config.

WARNING : This is a development build of the new upcoming version - v1.0-STABLE. It contains a lot of new features, but also a lot of bugs and issues, and is not recommended to be used in the production environment. Backing up the files is strongly recommended. Proceed with caution.

• Added messages configuration for Server creation and Global messages. The configuration for ServerKiller and ServerStarter (and other parts of the plugin) will be added in the next build
• Changed some default messages
• Optimization on server bootup and server creation parts
• Messages configuration is in .toml format, which will be used across all my plugins and configuration files in the near future
• Expect the second developer beta with even more features in not more than two days

Please note that this is a developer build, which means it may contain some issues. In that case, please report it on our issue tracker and fall back to the v0.8-STABLE.

For over a month, I've been declaring player servers as Beta, as I've never quite thought it was stable enough to be called just a "stable" release. Today, I'm proud to announce the first highly stable release - v0.8-STABLE

• Started a new version tree with v0.8 as base
• Further code cleanup and optimization for PSServerCore
• This is the first stable build with probably no bugs at all!

As for v1.0, it's still under development and the first RC for it will be coming soon - maybe even tomorrow featuring Messages configuration. After that, I'm planning on bringing the second pre-release by the end of the summer which will bring up Server Templates. As for multi-machine support, I've decided to move it for v.1.1, as it is a larger project which will require me more time.

Also, I'm working on a custom BungeeCord named Gravity and an IPTables firewall called BlackHole, so stay tuned for that too!

• Fixed potential Spigot anti-piracy issues. If you have plugin randomly disabling, or showing MySQL issues, please update.

As I'm relatively new to SpigotMC and their anti-piracy placeholders, it is possible the issue is not solved yet. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to test it due to Spigot not injecting placeholders to author's resources. If you have any other problems, always feel free to contact me.
