I have implemented a new banning/mute/kicks/jails/warnings system where all punishments are tracked and viewable online with a complete histroy for every player, You can get to the punishment checker by going under the “information” tab on the top of the website.

Personally I think the best feature of this new system is the warnings system, we can give players warnings that can be kept track of via the web interface to determine if they are a constant nuance and in need of a temp or perminant ban.

You may have noticed that today I did some maintenance on the server, This included upgrading our statistics tracking system. The stats devs decided to completely change the back-end of the data storage for stats, this completely killed the statistics web ui that I was using to display this information to the world! Not very helpful.

I have waited months for their web ui dev to get off his arse and actually release something worth while, but its not very good, at all, so from a web UI standpoint we have taken a few steps back, from the stats point of view, we have more statistics being tracked (including PVP now!)

I have customized this new panel somewhat already today, but its nowhere near what I want it to be showing, we have loads of incredible data we can be showing and no interface to do it!

sadly this developer decided that assigning user ID’s to players was a good idea instead of using usernames like every other plugin on the planet, so this breaks our online user, one click to statistics profile that we had before, now it takes you to a search page of everyone with that username.. You can see this “developer” is already winding me up.

But with this update lets us finally move forward (once some of the bugs with the upgrade have been ironed out).

After the maintenance updates (below) there are some new bugs I would like to address:

• /stats shows the wrong block break and block place counts in-game, I have removed these stats showing for now to stop confusion, waiting on a developer responce.
• /ar check & /rank are not completly in sync with stats playtime, again waiting on developer responce
• The biggest by far, is the stats on the website is broken, this is due to a change of now the stats information is stored in the latest update, the panel I used for displaying statistics is 3 years old and hasnt been updated in that time, a new panel has been created for the new stats that I will be implementing asap, but sadly its aweful in comparison so far, not only that but I will no longer be able to link online players & claims to peoples stats pages, as the developer of this new panel, I can only assume is retarded and given each user a unique ID only relative to stats, this is a problem which I will try to code around myself.

I hope to get some maintenance complete within 60 mins.

Servers whitelisted while I update the following plugins.

• Stats
• Autorank
• Battlearena

This is a majour update, as all statistics and autorank data needs to be converted to UUID’s and both use completly new systems & configs.

I’ve been putting this off for ages as its also going to break the live stats on the website.

Once these are complete and are tested and working, then we can progress with multipul worlds and many more fun features!

This battlearena update should fix the lag spikes on spigot servers (us) when people join a game.

I will be on Teamspeak – ts.piratemc.com
