Hey there!

It's been a while, but I haven't been sitting still since the last update. A ton of new features/improvements have been added which is really exciting (you can read up on everything in the changelog). Voice chat will be broader available over the next week(s) (more free slots per server, more activation codes, etc) but most of this depends on the load and how it all goes. Supporters on my patreon can get extra perks and support both me and the project a lot, keeping it running for everyone and allowing me to invest more into free and accessible features.

Change log (sorted by feature)

• Proximity Voice Chat
  • Proximity Voice Chat now is a public feature that you can activate on your server. There are a limited of free activations per day, meaning that you might have to wait before you can claim the addon for your server. you can check the Addons page on your craftmend account, or keep an eye out in our discord where new drops/waves get announced automatically. You can follow this guide/tutorial to get you started (or just read the docs)
  • Server administrators can now disable voice chat in specific world guard regions to prevent abuse or to force your player's attention on what's happening in-game. You can access these settings through the region GUI here's an early version/demo of this feature
    
  • The plugin will now automatically recover the connection with the voice server if something happened (reboot for maintenance, errors, whatever) meaning that you'll no longer have to restart your server or face those annoying rtp error popups.
  • LiteBans moderation support is now supported on BungeeCord networks, meaning that players with an active Mute won't be able to participate in voice chat.
  • The java API has been expanded adding new events for client connection changes, and more importantly, allowing you to mute microphones during runtime (to broadcast announcements, or to only allow certain players to talk based on permissions, while allowing everyone else to listen)
  • The web client now supports noise suppression and voice activation, which they can manually configure in the web client
  • The web client and networking system behind the scenes have been optimized to hell and back, making the client cope and perform better while there are larger player groups using voice chat near each other.
• Speakers
  • Added a new speakers GUI (/oa speaker menu) which whill show nearby speakers, and lets you teleport to them (for when you can't find them) or delete them directly from one menu
• Web Client
  • The web client now has a full loading screen covering the page while your personal server settings are being loaded. This means that the end-user will be presented to the web client in your custom style (messages, photos, colours) when it's loaded instead of having parts blink in while the browser is trying to keep up.
  • The web client now uses more of your custom assets to style your WebClient (using your photo, settings and colours to generate a background cover and changing more smaller text highlights)
  • Your server name now gets shown in the browser tab
  • The onboarding/tutorial for voice chat has been streamlined, making it easier to understand for newcomers and faster to use for those who already know how it works.
  • Various performance improvements for chrome-based browsers.
• Accounts
  • You can now link your Craftmend Account within our Discord server, allowing you to claim voice chat activations for free whenever they drop in the #bot-commands channel
  • Added a free activation setup and installation guide
  • You'll now receive automated DM messages notifying you of important changes to your server (whenever an addon expires, etc) or when someone accesses your account.
  • You can now link your personal Patreon account, which will automatically give you your perks and rewards (like additional voice chat slots) when you support me on Patreon.
• Smaller changes
  • the region delete command is no longer case sensitive
  • the old deprecated API's have finally been dropped
  • open audio java API events now throw exceptions when you to to register them on unsupported platforms
  • the plugin build process now uses unit tests for some internal systems
  • Setup patreon
