MapTowny v3.0.0-ALPHA-4

This alpha release contains a blocking bug fix.

Alpha release disclaimer: I would warn plugin developers from basing their plugins off this MapTowny version. For
the most part, backwards compatibility has been retained, so almost all plugins that utilize MapTowny should continue working. There is still one major change I want to get in for 3.0.0 and then the plugin should be ready for a beta and official release.

Changelog

• Bump Pl3xMap dependency version to resolve issues using MapTowny with the latest Pl3xMap.
• Bump SquareMap dependency version (for development purposes).

Caution

This is an alpha build and has not been tested on production servers, so please report any issues on the Github Issue tracker.

MapTowny v3.0.0-ALPHA-3

This alpha release contains bug fixes and minor additions. Thanks for the patience with these releases, reporting issues found with them, and contributing back to the plugin!

Again similar to the previous alpha releases, I would warn plugin developers from basing their plugins off this MapTowny version. For
the most part, backwards compatibility has been retained, so almost all plugins that utilize MapTowny should continue working. There is still one major change I want to get in for 3.0.0 and then the plugin should be ready for a beta and official release.

Changelog

• Add MapPlatformObservers API (#65) to handle when web-map plugins reload (#60)
  • Caveat: Squaremap has limited support for this API due to lack of exposed squaremap lifecycle events.
• Allow%nationstatus% to be surrounded by paranthesis and fully replaced (e.g. (%nationstatus%) ) by @NinjaMandalorian (#62)
• Allow empty town & capital icon urls by @Warriorrrr (#63 )
• Better Folia Support: Some MapTowny tasks were still being scheduled with the normal Spigot API.

Caution

This is an alpha build and has not been tested on production servers, so please report any issues on the Github Issue tracker.

MapTowny v3.0.0-ALPHA-2

This is the second alpha release for v3.0.0. This release contains a couple of bug fixes and one minor addition. Thanks for the patience with these releases and for reporting issues found with them.

Like the last alpha release, I would warn plugin developers from basing their plugins off this MapTowny version. For
the most part, backwards compatibility has been retained, so almost all plugins that utilize MapTowny
should continue working.

Changelog

• Fix issue reloading plugin on Folia (#58 courtesy of @Warriorrrr).
• Fix issue where duplicate points in a claim (when rendering corners) were not being handled properly (#56)
• Add support for decimal values in the update period.
  • Note: these are decimal values for minutes, so for example 2.5 as the update period would be 2mins 30 secs.

Caution

This is an alpha build and has not been tested on production servers, so please report any issues on the Github Issue tracker.

MapTowny v3.0.0-ALPHA-1

Thanks for being patient for this release. This is an alpha release because not all features for 3.0.0
are ready yet. The biggest feature not ready yet is having claim colors by townblock type. That feature involves
more invasive changes to the MapTowny pipeline.

As such I would warn plugin developers from basing their plugins off this MapTowny version. For
the most part, backwards compatibility has been retained, so almost all plugins that utilize MapTowny
should continue working.

Changelog

• Added support for Folia (#51).
• Bluemap/Dynmap now render holes within town claims properly (#23).
• Fixed rendering claims slightly bigger than they should've been.
• Fixed incorrect claim colors for BlueMap (#49).
• Fixed not rendering multiple outpost icons (#52, #39).
• Yeet support for older Pl3xMap versions.
  • This was not intended, but it looks like previous Pl3xMap versions
    are no longer available, so the plugin can't be built against them.
  • Therefore, only the latest Pl3xMap versions will be supported now.

Dependencies

The minimal versions for the web-map plugins were bumped up.

Please make sure one of the following web-map plugins are installed:

• squaremap 1.2.0 or higher
• Pl3xMap 1.20.2-473 or higher (older versions not supported)
• BlueMap 3.15 or higher.
• Dynamp 3.5 or higher.

Caution

This is an alpha build and has not been tested on production servers, so please report any issues on the Github Issue tracker.

MapTowny v2.2.0

This is a relatively minor update with support for a new Pl3xMap version and some API additions.

Sorry for the late release, but there should be more frequent updates now.

Changelog

• Add support for Pl3xMap v3 (v1, v2, and v3 will work). Pl3xMap v3 is in the beta phases, so use at your own risk (#44). Thank you to @Agaloth (#45) for adding support.
• Expand the WorldRenderTown event to support modifying the homeblock and outpost icons. Also allow the marker options to affect icon properties. (#43)

MapTowny v2.1.0

Update Support

This version primarily focuses on updating support for two web-map plugins: Pl3xMap and BlueMap.

This is a great time to address which web-map versions will MapTowny support. MapTowny will always aim to support only the latest versions of the web-map plugins! Even if the latest version of a web-map plugin breaks backwards compatibility with itself, MapTowny will not support older versions. Why? It's hard enough to support multiple web-map plugins; supporting multiple versions of the plugins would be even more chaotic!

There is one exception though. If the latest version of a web-map plugin is in alpha (such as Pl3xMap v2 is), then MapTowny will attempt to support both versions until the latest version is officially released (not in alpha/beta anymore).

Changelog

• Add support for Pl3xMap v2 (both v1 and v2 will work). Pl3xMap v2 is in its alpha stages, so please use it at your own risk. (#34 & #36)
• Update support for BlueMap to v3.3 (versions below 3.3 will not work anymore!) (#33)
• Add some more tooltip/hover placeholders: (#37)
  • %peaceful%: Sets to true if the town is peaceful, and false if it isn't.
  • %public%: Sets to true if the town is public, and false if it isn't.

Warning: BlueMap versions < 3.3 will not work with this version!

MapTowny v2.0.1

Squash Some Bugs

This minor release fixes some bugs in different web-map plugin implementations and also in the API. Highly recommend updating to this version if you are using this plugin with Dynmap or Bluemap.

Changelog

• Fix z-Index of the map layers not being applied correctly on Dynmap (#28).
• Fix icons not being properly overwritten on Dynmap and causing a NPE (#27).
• Fix icons not being in the correct position on BlueMap.
• Fix towns not re-rendering on startup on BlueMap.
• Add some more documentation to the API.
• Get Jitpack integration working!

MapTowny v2.0.0

Maturity at Last

It's the official release of 2.0.0! The beta releases were a huge help in testing vast changes to the plugin. It's been a few months since the last beta build and there were no major bugs reported.

Changelog

• Additional API and documentation.
• Fixed "%" sign being in the wrong spot (#24).
• Fix initializing BlueMap-related logic multiple times.

That's it?

Yep! While MapTowny is not at full parity with say Dynmap-Towny yet, I have been restraining on making more changes because of the major code re-shuffling that went on between the initial release of MapTowny and the current release. More major changes would have required more beta builds, but before that I want to make sure that there's an official stable release to use.

What's next?

There are a good amount of feature requests for the plugin that I want to work on implementing. I expect by the release of 3.0.0, the plugin will have feature-parity with Dynmap-Towny, better BlueMap support, and maybe some more API additions. If you got any more feature requests, make an issue in the Github tracker!

MapTowny v2.0.0-BETA-2

New Interior, Same Exterior

The project's source code has shifted quite a bit to support future development and to offer easier integration for other plugins wanting to make use of MapTowny's API. However, all this shuffling around has not changed how the plugin is configured or used, so there should not be much noticeable impact.

Early BlueMap Support

In an effort to support the majority of common web-map plugins, BlueMap support has been added to MapTowny. However, this is very early support and continued development will be needed to polish it up. BlueMap similar to Dynmap has no support for negative space removal.
So if you use BlueMap, there may be some weird issues that show up. Please if you notice any issues, report it on the Github issue tracker!

Beta Forever?

I'm sure some of you are asking why the new release is still in beta. There was not intended to be a second beta release, however because of all the code being shuffled around and slightly modified, there is a need for verification that nothing broke. Furthermore, 2.0.0 also aims to have API availability so that other official Towny add-ons can sufficiently use it for their web-map needs. The first beta version did not have accessible API, so this beta release fixes that.

Changelog

• Added basic BlueMap support.
• Improved negative space algorithm to detect holes diagonally.
• Source code re-organized to be a multi-module project with separate modules for each web-map plugin as well as for the API.
• API additions and documentation.
• README links updated (courtesy of LlmDl - go sponsor him! - with #20 )
• Use correct method to get the town/nation map colors (courtesy of Goosius with #18 )
