Fixes for issues reported by server owners, plus one new command.
Unbans took up to a minute to apply, and on SQLite never applied at all:
- css_unban only wrote to the database, but the connect check reads an
in-memory cache that syncs on a 61s timer. BanManager.UnbanPlayer now
marks the bans UNBANNED in CacheManager and rebuilds the indexes, and
logs failures instead of swallowing them.
- SQLite has no ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the unban/expire queries
never set updated_at, so the delta refresh never saw the change and
the ban stayed active until a plugin reload. Both queries set it now.
- The delta query uses >= so a change written in the same second as the
refresh snapshot is not skipped.
- css_unban issues removeid when UnlockedCommands is on, clearing the
engine-level banid that css_ban adds.
- RebuildIndexes builds fresh dictionaries and swaps them under a lock,
so the game thread cannot read a half-built index now that unbans can
trigger a rebuild off the timer thread.
Admin permissions were intermittently missing after a restart:
- The startup reload fired at a fixed 3s, usually before ServerManager
had resolved ServerId, so the admin query ran with a null server and
returned only global admins, with nothing reloading afterwards.
ServerManager now reloads admins once ServerId is set, and on both of
its failure paths so global admins still load.
- Loading the plugin mid-map (css_plugins load) fires no map start, so
server loading is kicked off after 5s if it has not happened.
- CreateAdminsJsonFile no longer strips permissions from inside the
ToDictionary lambda, where it ran once per name group and seconds
before the new data was loaded. It returns the new cache and
PermissionManager.ApplyAdminCache applies it on the main thread
immediately before AdminManager.LoadAdminData.
- Reloads are serialized with a semaphore and carry a generation, so
overlapping ones cannot race on the JSON files or apply a stale
snapshot after the hibernation cap.
- GetAllPlayersFlags and GetAllGroupsData rethrow instead of returning
an empty list; ReloadAdmins catches, logs and aborts. A transient
database error previously wrote an empty admins.json and stripped
every admin on the server.
Permanent renames did not survive a restart:
- New sa_renames table (migration 017); css_prename upserts or deletes,
and the table is loaded into memory once the server is ready.
- The rename is re-applied on connect before the DatabaseProvider /
CacheManager early return, which previously skipped it whenever the
DB or cache was not ready yet.
- New EventPlayerChangename handler, and both it and OnPlayerInfo
re-check after a short delay instead of comparing names at event
time; the engine may not have written the client's new name yet, and
Rename itself takes 0.4s to settle.
Smaller fixes:
- css_say printed "ADMIN: <text>" with no name. The caller name is
passed to the localizer and sa_adminsay_prefix carries {1} in all 13
languages.
- css_penalties <player> with @css/kick reassigned only the local user
id while every lookup kept using caller.SteamID, so an admin checking
another player always saw their own penalties. It now uses the
target's SteamID, and replies instead of throwing when that player's
connect data has not finished loading.
- css_rename returned early for an admin in silent mode, which skipped
the rename itself rather than just the announcement.
New: css_history <#userid|name|steamid64> [bans|gags|mutes|silences|warns]
(@css/kick) prints every ban, gag, mute, silence and warn with status,
duration, the admin who issued it, the reason and, for lifted bans and
mutes, who lifted it, when and why. A SteamID64 works for players who
are not online. Also available in the admin menu under Players >
History. The data was always there: unban, unmute and expiry only flip
the status column, rows are never deleted.
Build:
- The csproj listed all 32 migration files by hand, so a new migration
silently never reached the output. Replaced with a glob.
- Commands missing from an existing Commands.json are registered under
their default name, so new commands appear without deleting the file.
An empty alias list still disables a command.
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.
Commented out all index creation statements in the MySQL migration 016 for table and index optimization. Removed the corresponding Sqlite migration 016 entirely. Also replaced TRUNCATE TABLE with DELETE FROM in Sqlite migration 013 for sa_players_ips to improve compatibility.
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.
Menus can now specify a command name for permission override checking, allowing server admins to control menu visibility via CounterStrikeSharp's admin system. Updated API, MenuManager, and FunCommands module to support this feature. Also updated slap command to emit a sound, fixed SQL migration for IP address type, and bumped version to 1.7.8-beta-2.
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!
