Bump version to 1.7.9a and update package references (CounterStrikeSharp.API, Dapper, System.Linq.Async, ZLinq). Replace usages of PlayerConnectedState.PlayerConnected with PlayerConnectedState.Connected across commands, events, and helpers. Add DB method GetExpireOldPlayerIpsQuery (MySQL/SQLite) and call it to purge old player IP records during ban expiration. Improve CacheManager multi-account/ip ban detection (direct IP bans, cross-account IP checks) and adjust ban logic to respect expiration window. In PlayerManager: reduce semaphore, save player IP to DB before performing ban checks (add SavePlayerIpAddress), and always perform ban checks on connect. Simplify config upgrade logic in Helper.UpdateConfig to update the JSON file Version via JsonNode. Misc: adjust ban sound volume, minor exception catch cleanup, and add module folder to .gitignore.
Enhanced CacheManager to use database time for ban updates, improving multi-server consistency and handling of status changes. Increased PlayerManager's semaphore limit and improved player/bans refresh logic to ensure status changes are detected even when the server is empty. Updated author and version metadata, commented out duplicate event registration, and bumped CounterStrikeSharp.API dependency to 1.0.346.
Introduces per-player localization for menu categories and items using translation keys and IStringLocalizer, allowing modules and the main plugin to display menu names in the player's language. Refactors menu registration and builder logic to use translation keys, updates API and documentation, and adds database provider upsert query abstraction for player IPs. Also updates version to 1.7.8-beta-4 and corrects a translation string typo.
Commented out fun command implementations (noclip, godmode, freeze, unfreeze, resize) in funcommands.cs and removed their registration from RegisterCommands.cs. These commands are now intended to be provided by the new CS2-SimpleAdmin_FunCommands external module, improving modularity and maintainability.
Reworked the database layer to support both MySQL and SQLite via new provider classes and migration scripts for each backend. Updated the build workflow to support building and packaging additional modules, including StealthModule and BanSoundModule, and improved artifact handling. Refactored command registration to allow dynamic registration/unregistration and improved API event handling. Updated dependencies, project structure, and configuration checks for better reliability and extensibility. Added new language files, updated versioning, and removed obsolete files.
**⚠️ Warning: SQLite support is currently experimental.
Using this version requires reconfiguration of your database settings!
Plugin now uses UTC time. Please adjust your configurations accordingly!
