EagleFactions-v0.17.0 (1.16.5) (Beta)

Hello Eagles! 🦅

After long time, Eagle Factions is finally becoming friends with Sponge API-8! 🦅

This is the first BETA release for API-8 which contains... of course, support for API-8.

If you are willing to help and test EF for API-8, then I will be more than happy to hear from you. Feel free to report issues at Github or Discord.

Apart from that there have been some adjustments and improvements in the plugin. As always, you can take a look at release notes below to see what has changed.

Wiki has not been updated yet but will be on full API-8 release.

As always, backup your data before upgrading! Either by doing full server backup or by making a backup of EF data with /f createbackup command.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to post them at Github issues section.

Release Notes

Added:

• Updated to Sponge API 8 and Java 11
• Protection Flags. You can decide if monster spawn, pvp, powerloss etc. is permitted inside faction's territory. (some configuration properties have been dropped as well because of Protection Flags)
• New translations format. Sadly, the old one was too complicated sometimes. In the old format, meanings were split into multiple segments which was really hard to translate in some languages.
• Bluemap support! Now you can see factions' claims from the sky. 🦅
• General fixes and improvements.

Known Issues:

• MariaDB, MySQL and Sqlite may not work (yet). H2 should work fine!

EagleFactions-v0.15.3 (1.12.2) (Beta)

Hello Eagles! 🦅

This version of Eagle Factions contains some new features and many bugfixes (thank you so much for your reports).

Note: This update should be numbered 0.16 as it contains many changes but I decided to increment patch version instead.

If you find any problems, please post them at Github. :)

This release has been tested with SpongeForge-1.12.2-2838-7.3.0

Release Notes

Added:

• Updated SpongeAPI dependency to 7.3.0.
• Factions can be now created and disbanded from the console.
• Players can be now promoted/demoted from the console.
• Added possibility to show what claim is being attacked
• Commands' descriptions are now translatable.
• API: Added FactionRenameEvent

Improved:

• Added claim cache to improve performance. Thanks to NoTimeForHero.
• English message will be used if selected translation's message will be missing.
• Improved debug messages that are printed to the chat if player uses debug mode.
• Updated russian translation. Thanks to Iterator.

Adjusted:

• API: Added Pre and Post events to all existing events.
• Admin Mode command permission has been changed to eaglefactions.admin.adminmode
• Admin Mode can now be always turned on by giving a player eaglefactions.adminmode permission. Note: This will not give player access to admin commands. It will only allow to bypass claim protection.
• Debug Mode Command is now a regular player command and its permission key is eaglefactions.player.debug

Fixed:

• Fixed square claim usage by admins in non-claimable worlds.
• Fixed truces being able to interact in own territory.
• Fixed open modular turrets being duplicated in claims when destroyed.

Known bugs:

• Industrial Craft's Mining Laser is still somehow affecting blocks in protected territory. If you shoot on the side of the claim then blocks will be duplicated. Mining Laser does not trigger Sponge's Explosion Event. This makes it a little bit harder to fix.
• In Flan's Mod, a player who is using a vehicle, can move into other factions territories without being pushed back when faction memebrs are offline and block-entering-faction-while-offline is enabled.

Future Plans:

• Bringing Friendly Fire Command back
• and more...
