TNT-Tag v9.4

Hey folks,

Here’s what’s new in this update:

• Fixed an issue where the game wouldn’t end when only one player remained.
  
  
• Resolved a bug where player XP wasn’t properly restored.
  
  
• Added support for delaying the execution of arena-finish-commands via the new arena-finish-commands-delay option in config.yml.
  
  
• The {seconds} variable now correctly updates in subtitles as well.
  
  
• Improved countdown logic: it now correctly handles the edge case where a player leaves during countdown with exactly one player above the minimum.
  
  
• Updated dependency repository and made some minor improvements under the hood.
  

Best regards,
Jasper

Update PlaceholderAPI and fix round ending twice.

Dear TNT-Tag enthusiasts,

It's been 10 months since the last update. But that didn't mean TNT-Tag development laid still. Over the past months, I've made tons of changes and solidified TNT-Tag further. And that's where I ended up now - I feel like this version is stable enough to release to the public. Enjoy all the new features and fixes!

Detailed changelog can be found at Github.

Changes:

• Fixed a typo in the customization.yml
• Added brigadier support
• Cleanup of the file loading code.
• Cache the sign text of the top signs.
• Cache the other sign lines too and remove the unnecessary plugin parameter in the constructor.
• Fixed an issue where you would instantly leave when clicking a join sign. That's because the held item slot was set to the latest slot that contained the leave item, which would then trigger.
• Fixed an issue where the commands of items that didn't have a command triggered.
• Added a null check to the placeholder parsing.
• Handle the case where all taggers can leave and the game won't stop.
• Replace players.size() with getPlayerCount() so spectators won't be counted resulting in proper measures if the runner left when there's also a spectator in the arena.
• Better check.
• Handle an edge case where the last survivor leaves causing the tagger to blow up and lose - that's unfair.
• The countdown will now set the player's xp each second instead of only on the broadcast times.
• Fixed wrong XP retrieval. That also fixes the XP loss after a game.
• Reset player XP after leaving the arena.
• Fix the player XP restoral.
• Added a forcejoin subcommand.
• Added a bypass permission to forcejoin command.
• Updated TAB API.
• Don't send tagged message when the message is empty.
• Add spectator action bar message.
• Added restoral of TAB prefix when leaving an arena.
• Handle the case where the user did not have a prefix.
• Improve disabling the global-lobby.
• Added Parties support.
• Added support to provide "current" as the arena name and it will try to use the current arena the player is in.

Enjoy!

Greetings, TNT-Tag enthusiasts!

We're excited to introduce TNT-Tag 9.0, a release filled with exciting new features and important fixes to enhance your gaming experience. As the author of TNT-Tag, Jasper, I've been listening to your feedback and have made significant improvements. Here's what's in store:

New Features:

1. TAB Integration: We've integrated with TAB, offering a few nice features such as custom prefixes for player names and playerlist display names!
   
   
2. Chat & TAB Prefixes: Customizable prefixes for chat and TAB have been added, adding a touch of personalization to your games(TAB is optional for this, it's not even required!)
   
   
3. Improved Dump System: We've streamlined the process of dumping files by only uploading the .yml files in your TNT-Tag directory, this makes sure that we don't accidentally upload backups that are in the folder.
   
   
4. Top 10 Stats: Keep track of your performance with top 10 wins, timestagged, and tags placeholders.
   
   
5. Taggers Percentage Control: Want just one tagger? We've added an option to disable the taggers-percentage.
   
   
6. Bungee-Mode: For server admins with a single arena, we've introduced an extensive bungee-mode and removed the open-arena-gui-on-join option.
   
   
7. Customizable Top Placeholders: Customize the format of top placeholders to whatever you want.
   
   
8. Cooldown Option: Prevent stats boosting and constant tagging with our new cooldown option.
   
   
9. Adjustable Time Delays: Enjoy flexibility with adjustable time delays for new rounds and game endings.
   
   
10. Forced Start Option: Use the /tt start command with a forced option for added control.
    
    
11. PAPI Hook Enhancement: Our PAPI hook is now improved, featuring new placeholders and better code.
    
    
12. UpdateChecker Warning: Stay informed with a new warning in the UpdateChecker to read changelogs like this one.
    
    
13. Forced Tagger Assignment: We've ensured that tagger assignment is forced when necessary, preventing game stalls.
    
    
14. Dump Confirmation: Confirmation messages are now available for the dump commands.

Bug Fixes:

• Players can no longer tag spectators, and spectators can't hit players.
• Eliminated issues with the game ending twice and incorrect cooldown display.
• Resolved problems related to arena ending and lobby loading.
• Fixed bugs when tagger-percentage was too low to choose a tagger.
• Removed unnecessary elements and debug code.

We hope that you enjoy TNT-Tag 9.0! Your feedback has been invaluable in making these improvements and the testing that y'all have done was amazing. Thank you for your continued support. Dive into the explosive fun and tag your way to victory!

If you encounter any issues or have further suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy gaming!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you the latest updates included in this release:

• Fixed an issue where the round would continue even if it crashed.
• Improved the usage of placeholders by implementing a single prefix/suffix for all of them. Instead of using percentage characters (%), we now use curly braces ({}) as placeholders. To ensure a smooth transition, please reset your customization.yml file or replace all placeholders manually to avoid any potential issues.
• Added the ability to configure the info command and included additional data.
• Resolved errors that occurred when editing the arena while it was running.
• Spectators are now prevented from teleporting to the main arena during round start.
• Fixed a console error spam caused by health values exceeding 28.
• The display name of the top type is now translatable in signs.
• Sign text is now configurable.
• Resolved an issue where players would immediately leave the arena when clicking a sign with a quick inventory.
• An option to automatically open the arena GUI has been added (reset your config.yml to enable it).
• We added support for yaw/pitch and half block locations in the global lobby.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to CayeOfficial for their valuable contributions to this update.

Best regards,
Jasper

Hello all,

The changelog for this release:

• Fixed players leaving arena's if they join another world or through the lobby.
• Fixed the ArenaEndingEvent being called multiple times.
• Fixed spectators still being invisible after leaving an arena or after it ends, also using another system for this now.
• Players can now hit each other but without damage, this is much better for the gameplay as players see the hit effect.

That were the bugfixes and features for today's update, shouldn't be any bugs remaining anymore now.

Greetings,
Jasper
