Village Defense Pro v1.3.2

Village Defense Pro — Update 1.3.2

• Fixed global leaderboard holograms stacking after server restarts in some cases.
• Fixed arena-specific leaderboard not displaying correctly.
• Added proper per-arena leaderboard support for local H2/SQLite databases.
• Improved leaderboard display cleanup and refresh reliability.

Village Defense Pro — Update 1.3.1

• End rewards are no longer granted on defeat. They are now conditioned on victory, preventing players from losing on wave 1 while still receiving a crate key.
• Reward commands are now executed after leaving the arena and after player restoration, preventing key loss caused by restorePlayer().

• Fixed language handling on several wave/gameplay-related screens. Labels that were previously hardcoded in French (scaling GUIs, wave categories, category editor, and overrides) now use the language files (fr/en/de).

• Improved boss rounds: added a default configuration introducing a separate “boss_default” pool distinct from the regular zombie pool, with a more credible boss setup replacing the original behavior (“1 mini zombie”).

This update is not just an improvement…
It’s a complete evolution of the gameplay system.​
