StaffSuite 2.0.0 Changelog​

Stable 2.0.0 Release​

Suite Integration Support​

Config, Language & GUI Improvements​

• Reworked config, language, and GUI file refreshing so bundled defaults can update properly while preserving existing user-edited values where possible.
• Localized more hardcoded messages across teleports, random teleport failures, reports, staff roster, player selectors, and breadcrumb tool text.

• Packaged updated language ZIP files.

Database Improvements​

Punishment & LiteBans Improvements​

Security Addon Anti-Cheat Hooks​

• StaffSuite can now detect and handle alerts from multiple supported anti-cheat plugins, including:
  • Matrix
  • NoCheatPlus / NCP
  • Spartan
  • GrimAC / Grim
  • Vulcan
• Improved delayed anti-cheat registration, allowing hooks to connect properly even when supported anti-cheat plugins enable after StaffSuite.

Hook & Dependency Improvements​

• Expanded soft-dependencies for AdvancedBan, Essentials, Vault, ShopGUIPlus, anticheats, HomeSuite, and PerformanceSuite.
