PalDefender v1.4.2

The wiki will not be updated soon, it is currently being reworked.

CHANGELOG

Fixes

• Updated SDK to 0.6.1

New

• /tp command now can teleport other players. RCON is also supported now.
  • /tp <UserID1> <UserID2> - teleports user 1 to user 2
  • /tp <UserID> <x> <y> <z> - teleports the player to coords.

• The known EXP Exploit has been terminated and is no longer possible.

  • With this option enabled, such messages will not be logged at all — instead, a warning will be printed to the console.
• Added a damage meter to manual spawned pals.
  • Announcements can be controlled by 2 new config entries:
    • announceAdminSummons -> "'PalID' (Level ?) has been summoned at X Y Z."

PalDefender v1.4.0

The wiki will not be updated soon, it is currently being reworked.

CHANGELOG

Fixes

• Updated SDK to 0.6.0
• Changed command /skins to getskinids - Now RCON gets the output as JSON.
• Fixed a bug in Command /give_exp <UserID> <Amount>. The EXP is now correctly added to the player.
• Fixed various loggings to preview the user friendly map-coordinates

New

• Added command alias /adminlogin for /adminpassword command
• Added command /learntech <UserID> <TechID> - let a player learn a technology. (TechID can be all)
• Added command /unlearntech <UserID> <TechID> - let a player forget a technology. (TechID can be all)
• Added command /gettechids - returns a list of all available tech-IDs. (RCON gets output as JSON.)
• Added command /clearinv <UserID> [Container:Array] - clears player items in their inventory.
  • "Container:Array" might be a bit hard to understand. The game itself splits the player inventory in various categories:
    • items: the inventory itself
    • keyitems: saddles, etc.
    • armor: the equipment the player currently wears
    • weapons: the currently equipped weapons
    • food: the food inside the auto feeding bag
    • dropslot: I have no idea, still added it.
  • specify any container you like. Example: /clearinv <UserID> items keyitems - clears inventory and key inventory
  • you can also write all to apply container.
• Added a new Config treeLimiter which is the time in seconds (default: 0.1) that limits the amount of damage packets a player can send to the server. Turn it to 0.0 to turn off. This will allow to massively reduce the lag during combat that involves the usage of AoE damage and rockets.
• Added a new Cheat Detection that allowed player to craft any item they have not unlocked.
• Pals that have been spawned via command will now be announced upon killing it.
