This update fixes a NoClassDefFoundError on Paper versions before 1.21.7 (Before their implementation of a Dialog API).
The entire Dialog handling was rewritten in the process, making it a lot more platform-agnostic too, allowing future expansion into other platforms (Velocity) once API becomes available.
This beta introduces a new command allowing you to edit profiles ingame using the new Dialog feature, and also announces the planned discontinuation of BungeeCord support.
New Dialog-based edit feature
A new command called /asl profiles edit <profile> was added to allow editing of profiles ingame using the Dialog feature introduced in MC 1.21.6.
IMPORTANT
This feature currently only supports Paper Builds 17 and newer for 1.21.7 due to older builds not having the necessary API and Velocity having no Dialog support yet.
Once Velocity provides Dialog support will it be added to the plugin.
Discontinuation of BungeeCord support
v5.7.0 will be the final version of AdvancedServerList that will support BungeeCord.
I simply cannot see any good reason for keeping support given the existance of Velocity - a far superior Proxy. Note that the plugin can work on future BungeeCord versions, especially due to their attempts at keeping backwards compatability, but it's not guaranteed.
This means, that once v5.7.0 has been released, there will be no future updates -including bug fixes - for it anymore.
As promised last time is here a proper release of v5.6.0 which I call the "Favicon Overhaul".
This update provides significant changes to the FaviconHandler, providing a new feature in the form of Favicon merging and also a config.yml option to set how ASL should handle images with sizes that aren't exactly 64x64 pixels.
FaviconHandler improvements
The FaviconHandler has received major improvements. First of all are PlaceholderAPI placeholders now supported.
Additionally was the async handling of Favicon creation simplified, as it was overcomplicated before.
Favicon merging
A new feature was added called favicon merging.
With this feature are you able to combine multiple sources into a single favicon, allowing more complex, dynamic favicons to be created.
To merge favicons, add new entries to the String separated by semicolons. As an example ${player uuid};border.png would first place the Player head followed by putting border.png over it. The result would be similar to this:
Favicon resizing
A new option called faviconStrategy was added to the config.yml. This option allows you to set how ASL should handle Images that have a size that isn't 64x64 pixels.
The default option is resize but can be changed to center and none:
centerdoes not resize the image, but instead centers it as good as possible in the Favicon.nonedoes not resize the image, nor move it. The image will simply placed at 0,0, which is the top-left corner of the Favicon.
With these features should you be able to create some really cool Favicons for your server.
This update adds a faviconStrategy: <string> option to the config.yml
This option allows you to change how AdvancedServerList should handle images for a favicon, that do not have a size of 64x64 pixels.
The following Options are available:
resize(Default): Resizes the image to fit the 64x64 pixels area.center: Doesn't resize the image, but instead centers it as good as possible.none: Doesn't resize nor center the image. It simply puts it at 0,0 (top-left corner of the favicon) unchanged.
Note that the favicon itself is always 64x64, even if the images depicted in it are smaller. This is simply due to Minecraft requiring such a size.
This option should allow some creative aproaches with Favicons, especially when combined with the favicon merging published in the previous beta.
Should there be no reports of bugs or similar do I plan to publish a proper release during the next week.
This Beta brings support for PlaceholderAPI placeholders in the Favicon and a new feature of Favicon merging!
PlaceholderAPI support in favicon
For whatever reason did the plugin not support placeholders from PlaceholderAPI in the favicon option. This has been changed now.
Favicon merging
The Favicon option now allows you to merge multiple values into a single Favicon to display.
To use this option, separate each part with a semicolon. Each part supports the same options as a normal favicon, meaning you can use URLs, a placeholder that turns into a player name/UUID or an image name maching one in the favicons folder.
As an example, setting ${player uuid};border.png can return a favicon like this:
This should allow you to create more unique Favicons to display to players.
Keep in mind, that each part follows the same rules as a normal favicon, meaning that images not having a size of 64x64 pixels will be resized accordingly.
Also, the creation of such a Favicon is done asynchronously, similar to Favicons from a URL/placeholder. As such can it take a while for a Favicon to be displayed and may require more than one ping of the server.
Please let me know about any issues you may encounter with this feature.
Fixes a NoClassDefFoundError you encounter on Paper. This was due to the fact that the cloud-paper dependency wasn't shaded into the jar itself.
