Resolves an issue with the MySQL setup ( #87)

This small update removes a previously hardcoded section of the lores of shop items. The removed portions were added to the example lores instead.

the user now has full control of the item lores

This version enables CookieClicker version 3.1.0, which adds rewards

Now 1.16.4 compatible

This update adds support for MC 1.16.1 - 1.16.3

3.1.0

• Add
  Code (Text):

  /gba removesaves
  commands
• Improve
  Code (Text):

  /gba resetstats
  commands
• fix the Spanish language file
• add new messages to the Spanish language file (#84)
• Print info messages when custom language files fail to load
• Improve error handling when loading modules from jar files

Circumvent a bug in Bukkit 1.14 (for more info see: TabooLib/TabooLib#41)

• GameBox 3 supports (only) MC 1.14+
• games can now be installed from inside GameBox.
  • They are not separate plugins anymore but can be automatically downloaded and installed.
  • Use commands or the admin module GUI to install/update/remove modules (modules are now what previously game-plugins were)
• players only see games in the menu that they have the 'gamebox.play' permission for
• games now always have the same order in the menu
• renamed language files to standard locales (new default file is en_GB)
• Loading database async (#67)

Updating from version 2 (keep in mind that you will also need to update to MC 1.14 or 1.15):

1. Stop your server
2. Replace GameBox.jar with the new version
3. Delete all game jars
4. Give yourself the permission 'gamebox.admin.modules'
5. Start your server
6. Open Minecraft, run '/gb' and click on the chest icon in the middle of the bottom row (if you can't see it you didn't follow point 4 )
7. Rightclick the modules in the inventory to install them

Alternatively, you can install the modules from your server terminal. Just run 'gba modules list' and follow the instructions.


All config/data files are backwards compatible! Meaning you will not lose your player records or custom messages!

The last update introduced a bug in CookieClicker which is now fixed.

Enjoy

Short one: see title

• GameBox is now compatible with the 1.13 aquatic update
• Improved some default colors and messages with help from @TheIntelloBox
• Added the high number names (atm only used in cookieclicker) to the langauge files
• Cleaned up a bit internally

• Get the newest versions of the games and GameBox
• For all games except MP-GameBundle and GemCrush you have to get the new configuration files (best done by deleting their folders in the games folder but carefull: make copies before and make sure you keep old savefiles e.g. saves.yml for cookieclicker!), or update the used materials in the configs yourself. You can use this site to replace all the material IDs with their minecraft names.

Minor improvement and fix for Sudoku and ThreeInARow.

• Supply a utility function to solve problems with puzzle loading in Sudoku and ThreeInARow games (see issue). Please also update the plugin logicpuzzles to the newest version .
  
• Using green record as icon for "sound on" (thanks @TheIntelloBox )

Now it really works on Java 9+

This update removes previous problems with running GameBox in a Java 9+ environment ( issue on GitHub).

The last update introduced an error to CookieClicker when using a file database. This is fixed now.

GameBox now syncs top lists and CookieClicker saves between servers in a BungeeCord-Network. Prerequisites are that all of these servers have MySQL enabled, are connected to the same database and have the setting mysql.bungeeMode set to 'true'. GameBox is not required to run on the BungeeCord instance itself!

This update includes many changes in top list behaviour. For example, unknown players are displayed in top lists now, since some servers in a network might not know a player, that made a score on another server. CookieClicker now includes MySQL support, which is configured automatically like the GameBox MySQL connection.

Bunch of server-side changes:

• All game folders are inside the GameBox folder. No more cluttering of your plugin folder.
• MySQL support!
• Improved language system. There is no more spam when messages are missing, only a short note on startup, that refers to commands to see the missing message keys (/gba language)
  
• More than one game can be in one jar
• Three games are included in the GameBox jar by default: CookieClicker, Connect 4 and MatchIt (new game)
• Improved permission system
  • There is more than one admin permission now. You can give all admin permissions with gamebox.admin.*
• Improved Error handling
• The commands can be configured in the configuration file. The defaults are still gamebox (or games, gb) and gameboxadmin (or
  gamesadmin, gba)

Ingame changes:

• New games
  • "Match It" and "Three In A Row"
• New Top list design and improved loading times
  
• New admin commands (for example /gba settings)
• Improved default game modes for all games
• Enable/Disable games while the server is running! Can be done in 'games.yml' or via /gba settings
  
• Configurable slots for the game buttons in 'games.yml' (later also via /gba settings)
  
• Configurable subcommands for the games in 'games.yml' (later also via /gba settings)

General project changes:

• Code improvements
• Cleaner repository
• GPL - 3.0
  
• Builds are available on repo.nikl.me via artifactory
  
• Reduced boilerplate for new games. This makes game development much faster.

Upgrading from GameBox v1:

1. Stop your server
   
2. Delete all your old game jars!
3. Download GameBox and any of the updated games
4. Put them all into your plugin folder and start your server
5. Configure whatever you want and run /gba reload afterwards

If you want to keep your old configurations, move your old config.yml files to the corresponding game folders in 'gamebox/games/' and reload GameBox. This can also be done with the old cookieclicker saves (move 'saves.yml' file)

You can convert your data.yml file to MySQL

1. Activate MySQL and reload the plugin.
2. Run /gba filetomysql (permission: gamebox.admin.database)
3. Check the output in the console. The whole process runns async and can take some time.

The game ID for 2048 has been changed! 2048 -> twoofoureight

• Fixed wrong language on sound toggle until clicking it (@TheIntelloBox )
  
• Updated and improved the comments in the configuration file
  • Also removed the MySQL section for this release, since it caused confusion with some users
• Fixed NPE when opening top lists after player data was deleted (@FireFlies )
• Removed some unnecessary warnings about invalid configurations (@TheIntelloBox )

Since some servers can handle long inventory titles even though they are 1.8 I improved the way I set the flag whether to check inventory title lengths or not. Together with the newest game updates, this should only check (and shorten) inventory title lengths if it is really nessesary.

All problems with 1.8 coming from inventory titles should be resolved now.

• Fixed wrong drops on playerdeath when the player was in the token shop when dying
  • Also fixes, that a player was not in GameBox while he was in the shop.
• Fixed that players could pick up items while they where in the shop. The items would disappear when leaving GameBox!
• Added plugin Metrics with bStats. You can take a look at the GameBox Metrics here.
  • Metrics can be opt out in the config although I'd like to ask you not to do so. I would like to know how many people are using which GameBox games. This makes it easier to decide on what to work in my limited free time.
• Added option to not close GameBox when the player takes damage (@TheIntelloBox ). This closes ConnectFour issue #1.
• Added events that get called before players enter GameBox and after they left it.
  • You can either listen for these events in your own plugin and run code, or:
  • ... use the configuration file which supports a list of commands for each listener. Plugin intern Listeners will run these commands. You can find them in the new configuration section 'listeners'. (@iChronicleHD )

Lately I've been working a lot on the documentation of GameBox. I'll be soon adding more info about how to write your own games and how to customize the shop and the permissions.

• Added NMS for minecraft 1.12
• Made rest of the code compatible with Bukkit 1.12

Note: All games need updates for some of the following features to work. Old game versions will still run and work like they are supposed to, but the new GameBox features may not work for them. I will do my best to update all games asap. GameBox warns in the console on load about outdated games.

• Added a reload command to the admin commands (@AndyYu )
  
  • /gba reload
  • normal admin permission "gamebox.admin"
    
  • Reloads all registered games that are compatible AND GameBox itself. I will update the games shortly.
  • This command will not reload the whole jar, hence it can not be used to update the plugin without stopping the server. It only reloads all language files, configuration files and game settings.
• Improved handling of players changing between two worlds
  • Fixed NPE when a player comes back from a disabled world and then updates his token count (@TheIntelloBox )
• Added help message for admin commands
• Cleanup
  • cleaned up shop system
  • cleaned up GUI system
  • cleaned up Settings system and main class
  • removed a click action and simplified action processing

I know that the complicated invitation system is one of the biggest flaws of GameBox. Here comes the first feature to improve it:

• Made the invitation system easier by adding a clickable message that gets send to the invited player. The message will open the GUI which contains the invite.
  • To make that (JSON) message fully configurable was quite some work. There are more then a dozen new messages in the language files!
  • I am not using the classes for ClickEvent/HoverEvent or anything else from the net.md_5.bungee package, thus the plugin is still compatible with Craftbukkit
    
  • The clickable message can be opt out in the configuration file (default is true). Path: "settings.invitations.clickMessage.enabled"
• Up until this version it was possible for players to pick up items while they were in game and the item would show up in the game/GUI. The main problem was, that the item would be deleted as soon as the player closed the game/GUI and his old inventory was restored.
  
  • I did not want to disable picking up of items completely while players are in a GUI or game. With my fix, picking up is still possible, but the item will not show up in the GUI. It will be added to the old inventory and will be restored. If there is no space left in the players inventory, picking up is disabled.
    
  • Fun fact: noone ever told me about this problem and I never experienced it. The idea to test it came to me while I was sleeping (honestly... GameBox is stealing my dreams now).
• Improvements in the default config
  • I doubled the time an invitation is valid for
  • Added two short comments describing the timing options
• Corrected german language file. It's my mother tongue... but my spelling is not perfect

Spoiler: New game coming soon!

• A few seconds after startup the plugin will check for registered games and give a feedback in the console.
  
• gamebox.admin now only gives access to the admin commands. To get all permissions use gamebox.*
  
• Stripping color from invitation messages because of problems with chatcolor plugins (fixes @ericbarbwire problem)
• The permissions gamebox.gamegui.(*/gameID) now work with shortcut commands
• Added API
  • give/set/take token through API
  • get number of token for a player
• Fixed wrong calculation of the admin command /gb taketoken for offline players
• Changed internal code structure and deprecated methods/fields that were moved. Those methods will be removed in a few versions. In the next few days all games will be updated and will stop using deprecated methods.
  • I am centralizing code to GameBox in order to make updates more easy. This will also make the games smaller.
• Fixed an annoying bug where the game though a player is in the main menu, while he is in a game menu. This happened to player A when player B started a multiplayer game with A while A was in the main menu. When A pressed 'Back to Game menu' no buttons would work because the plugin thought he is back in the main menu.
• The permission gamebox.use now controlls /gamebox and all aliases AND the use of the hub item.
• Play permissions were fixed for multiplayer games
• New option to allow player to accept game invitations without having the actuall permission to play said game. The permission is still needed to send the invite!
  • This option was requested from @BumbleBeesBuster. It can be set to give permissions to multiplayer games as donor perks or rewards. If both players need the permission it would make these rewards worthless on small servers.
  • Path in config: settings.exceptInvitesWithoutPlayPermission
• Improved lang_de.yml
  
• Updated lang_zh-cn.yml (Thanks @AndyYu )

• Admin commands with /gameboxadmin (/gba)
  • Permission: "gamebox.admin"
    • Also gives ALL other gamebox permissions
    • Default: OP
  • /gba [givetoken:taketoken:settoken] [player name] [count (integer)]
    • give/take/set token with the specified amount. Works with online and offline players as long as the player logged in on the server before.
  • /gba token [player name]
    • Returns the token count of the player. Works with online and offline players as long as the player logged in on the server before.
  • All token commands send the amount of token with a configurable message back to the sender (see lang files)
• Command /gb info
  
  • Output now lists all installed games and lists the shortcut commands to the games
  • You can customize the output with new messages in the language files
  • Permission: "gamebox.info"
    • Default: true
• For easier manual management the data file now stores the players names together with the UUIDs. So if you have to you can now manipulate stats and token based on player names.
• Fixed problems with permissions "gamebox.gamegui.(*/gameID)"
• Fixed some missing messages in the german language file.

A minor fix concerning problems on Player death.

• The game or the GUI you are in will now instantly close when you take damage. You should be at a safe place to play games
  • Before there has been a problem with the server option 'keepInventory'. This is fixed now.
• Thanks to @altrisi I added a spanish language file to the plugin

• Added lost of stuff to the language file, so you can change it to rude messages
  
  • The message players recieve when invited by someone
  • The display name and lore of the skulls representing an invite
  • The display name and lore of the 'invite someone' button
  • The display name and lore of the 'toggle sound' button in two versions: 'off' and 'on'
• I restructured my NMS code so that I can use it from all my games. This leads to the great advantage of me (and you) just having to update ONE plugin when a new NMS version comes (not 5+). See all the game-updates for more info.

• Added fully customizable shop
  • Per default players cannot buy anything to make sure that you customize the shop first. To enable them to buy stuff you need to enable tokens AND set 'open' in the tokenShop.yml to true
  • Sort your items in categories
  • Every category can have an (almost) infinite number of items (until you run out of memory on your server )
  • Convenient Page system with back and forward buttons
  • Needed permission to open the shop: "gamebox.shop" (default is true)
• Fixed and improved the hub mode
  • If you enable 'hubMode' and 'giveItemOnWorldJoin' the plugin will now check for an existing hub item, then check for an empty slot (it prefers the configured 'hubItemSlot')
• Fixed Loopholes in the permission system
  • "gamebox.use", "gamebox.play.*" and all the "gamebox.play.%gameID%" should work properly now
• Added the option to disable some or all of the navigation buttons (@jonisen22 ). Just set the slot of the button you want to disable to a negativ number and you're good to go.
• Fixed that the slot of the exit-button in the Main menu was not changable before.
• To exit the invitation input you now need to type anything with %. So from now on just typing '%' is sufficient.
• Added several messages to the language file. Most are related to the shop.
• Many small fixes and improvements which I forgot after doing them

Minor update

• Removed all problems related to Craftbukkit
• Prefix and name can now be configured in the language files
  • Key for prefix: prefix
  • Key for name: name
• Fixed problem where hotbar clicks were not recognised when ingame

Started working on the token shop

I added a mandarin file to the included language files since @AndyYu is putting my plugins on MCBBS for me. Thanks for that

To give you an alternative to rewarding your players with money, I am going to implement a token shop directly in the GameBox gui, where you will be able to sell permissions and Items.

I added a Token-button in the GUI to display the players number of Tokens and added the needed methods and messages for the games.

• You can change the Token buttons display name in the language file
• You can change the message the player will get when winning tokens in the language file
  
• If you do not want to use this feature, opt out with "economy.tokens.enabled: false". This will prevent any winning of tokens and will also hide the token button in the gui.

Update your Games to 2.1.0 to start giving out tokens.


unimportant changes:

• Cleaned up the Main class
• Removed unused Classes
• Continued working on MySQL support (Sorry, still disabled)

Finally I feel comfortable enough to take this plugin out of Beta. That includes uploading all the GameBox-dependent versions of my inventorygames as the new versions.

• Fixed a major bug, where the inventory would be completely cleared when a 2-player game fails to start.
• Fixed logging of not restored inventory contents (already fixed in earlier Beta-version). The game will write to a log file if there are any unrestored inventory contents found when disabling. If a player is complaining, that he/she lost items: check the logs
  
• Removing the drops on death when a player dies while in a gui or a game (otherwise he would drop the navigation items)
• Added security checks for title messages. Sending default messages now, if the player is not inside a gui
• Added security checks on Worldchange to a disabled world
• Cleaned english language file
• Translated the german language file from scratch
• Standard message on receiving invitations (to be improved!)

Please report all bugs to me. I will work on fixing them asap.

Have fun playing

GameBox should now work for all versions 1.8 to 1.11

I fixed problems accuring in the games when economy was enabled in the configuration file, but no economy was found.

Have fun playing
