[zio] prefix, red admin and yellow player names in announcements, two-line
gag/silence/ban notices with the reason on its own line, [PM] for private
messages, and no {default} at the start or end of messages (sa_prefix keeps
it). The bring message says "to themselves".
#rank/guardian shows as G, after the staff ranks so a staff rank wins. css_psay from a player
reads "(PM) [RANK] name: message" ("(PM) name: message" without a rank group); console's is
unchanged. New lang keys sa_psay_template and sa_psay_template_norank.
@ in all chat and a player's css_say now read "[RANK] name: message" (no ">"; "name: message"
without a rank group) with a dark red name and red message. A non-staff player's @ team chat
reads ">[STAFF] name: message" in purple.
@ in team chat and css_asay read ">[STAFF][RANK] name: message", and @ in all chat and a
player's css_say read ">[RANK] name: message", with the rank from the sender's highest #rank/...
group (O, SA, A, TA, M, TM, H). Staff in no rank group get ">[STAFF] name" and "> name". A
non-staff player's @ team chat reads ">[PLAYER] name: message". Console's messages are unchanged.
The lines are new en.json keys: sa_staffchat_template, sa_staffsay_template, their _norank
variants and sa_staffchat_template_player.
Banned players are let in long enough to be told the ban's reason and time left, then kicked
after KickTime, instead of only seeing "Your client is not allowed to join this server"; they
can't chat, talk or join a team meanwhile. New permission @css/bypassipban (players or groups,
implied by @css/root) skips IP and shared-IP bans, leaving only bans on their own SteamID, on
join and in the periodic check. Moving to spectators no longer unhides a hidden admin; only
joining T or CT does.
Gagged or silenced players can still send @ team chat to online staff. The chat-blocked message
now says how long the gag or silence has left, or that it's permanent, and why. Reasons are kept in
memory alongside each penalty. Adds release.sh, which ships CS2-SimpleAdmin.dll and lang/en.json.
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.
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!
