ConquestDuels v5.2.0 Player Drop Bug Fix
ConquestDuels v5.2.0 — bulletproof cleanup, zero ghost flags, smoother returns
TL;DR Highlights
TL;DR Highlights
- New Hard Takeoff Cleanup: we now always remove duel metadata (no-drops, winner-grace, pending-return, safe-teleports) after the return delay—covers death during return, mid-sequence reloads, or odd event orders.
- Safer double-teleport return path with watchdog cleanup scheduled from multiple callsites and inside the teleporter itself.
- Pre-start guard tightened: no drops/pickups or container opens before arena TP; guard is disarmed only after the actual teleport lands.
- Freeze phase still allows eating/drinking + full bottom-inventory moves; blocks world actions and block item drops.
- WorldGuard PvP override logic refined to respect team rules, splash permissions, and region denial without breaking knockback feel.
- Winner payout now waits for economy unlock reliably; losers and spectators restored cleanly even across quits/rejoins.
- Hard Takeoff Cleanup (HTC)
- A universal scheduler now clears: DUEL_NO_DROPS, DUEL_WINNER_GRACE, DUEL_PENDING_TELEPORT_BACK, DUEL_SAFE_TELEPORTS_REMAINING after the configured return delay—always.
- Called from all return paths (winners, losers on respawn, spectators on respawn/rejoin) and from the shared teleporter for belt-and-suspenders coverage.
- Prevents rare “no item drops after duel” reports caused by stale flags when a player dies during or just after return.
- Pre-Start Guard 2.0
- Participants are guarded at confirmation: no drops/pickups, containers blocked, inventory clicks suppressed if they would interact with non-player inventories.
- The guard lifts only when the duel TP completes (not on request). Prevents lobby dupes and weird state if TP is cancelled.
- Freeze UX stays nice
- Players can eat/drink and freely rearrange bottom inventory, number-key swap, and offhand swap.
- World interactions blocked, block-item drops denied.
- WG & Combat polish
- Respect region PvP = DENY unless duel override applies; teammate damage still blocked.
- Arrow/Punch and melee/Knockback emulate vanilla feel even under forced-allow rules.
- Splash/lingering effects follow team rules + WG splash flags.
- Recovery & Shutdown
- Hard-shutdown recovery restores players/spectators, teleports them back, and refunds unresolved wagers.
- Regular reload recovery similarly unwinds active sessions safely.
- Fixed cases where players could retain DUEL_NO_DROPS or DUEL_WINNER_GRACE if they died mid return.
- Eliminated edge cases where inventory open/click events slipped through during pre-start.
- Reduced rare stuck-in-guard after cancelled teleports and server lag spikes.
- Ensured spectators that die or rejoin are fully restored and de-guarded.
-
centralizes unguarding (pickup + metadata clears).Code (Text):DuelManager.forceAllowPickup(Player)
-
now schedules cleanup internally, in addition to caller-side scheduling.Code (Text):sendDoubleTeleport(Player, Location, Runnable)
-
should be invoked after the same delay as teleport scheduling to properly tie guard → TP.Code (Text):DuelPreStartGuardListener.markPreStartTeleport(Player)
- Metadata keys used: DUEL_NO_DROPS, DUEL_WINNER_GRACE, DUEL_PENDING_TELEPORT_BACK, DUEL_SAFE_TELEPORTS_REMAINING.
-
(default 60, min 40) – freeze duration; cleanup automatically scheduled around this.Code (Text):duel.freeze-ticks
-
/Code (Text):announce-duel-start– global broadcasts.Code (Text):announce-duel-end
- Teleport delays read from your Teleportation settings (duel start delay and return delay). Cleanup respects your return delay automatically.
- No changes to permissions/commands in 5.2.0.
- All administrative and player commands from 5.1.x continue to work unchanged.
- Replace the jar.
- No config migration required. Existing settings are honored.
- If you customized any duel metadata handling in other plugins, remove redundant clears—they’re now automatic.
- Paper/Spigot 1.21.x (latest builds recommended).
- WorldGuard optional but supported for region-aware PvP/splash enforcement.
- Vault optional; used for wagers and automated payouts.
- If a third-party plugin force-sets “no pickup” on players right after our return, it can race our cleanup. Use our API call
in your integrations or let our HTC handle it.Code (Text):DuelManager.forceAllowPickup(player)
- When calling your own teleports back to lobby/spawn, you can still use
to inherit the safety flags and cleanup routines.Code (Text):sendDoubleTeleport(...)
- If you hook into duel lifecycle events, avoid manual metadata toggles—prefer our API helpers to prevent drift.
- 5.2.0
- Added universal Hard Takeoff Cleanup after return delay (+ watchdog inside teleporter).
- Strengthened pre-start guard lifecycle and container interaction rules.
- Extra spectator handling on death/respawn/rejoin with guaranteed de-guarding.
- Minor WG PvP/splash edge-case fixes and knockback consistency polish.
- Big thanks to servers stress-testing 5.1.x and reporting the rare “no drop after duel” edge case—this release closes it for good.
