EventBooster Changelog

Added

• Restart recovery: active events keep their original start, expiration, world filter and audience. Enabled by default with persistActiveBoosts.
• Integration diagnostics: status and the admin panel show active XP hooks, your effective multiplier and checkpoint problems, with a warning when no XP integration is active.
• Schedule timing in the panel: next run or current end time, with the configured timezone.
• Staff update notices: a rainbow CurseForge link when a newer version is published; opt out with checkForUpdates.

Changed

• Updated for Hytale 0.7.
• RPG Leveling and PartyPro bridges use their current listener, world and party membership APIs.
• Global-only XP hooks reject world, group and party targets they cannot apply.
• Invalid preset targets are rejected instead of silently turning into global events.
• The in-game mod entry now links to the EventBooster mod page.

Fixed

• Missing in-game icon: the EventBooster logo is now included in the mod list.
• Start options such as --id and --target could be mistaken for world names, preventing the requested boost from applying.
• Native command permission defaults could block staff with EventBooster permissions. The mod’s own permission checks now control access.
• Positional /eventboost stop all and /eventboost stop <id> now resolve correctly.
• Overnight schedules used the wrong calendar day, including windows crossing Sunday into Monday.
• Scheduled events now use one resolved boost ID, end at the configured deadline and cannot stop an unrelated manual replacement.
• Manually stopped schedule windows stay stopped instead of restarting on the next poll or server restart.
• Rejected preset deletion and duplicate renames no longer discard the original entry.
• Failed config writes no longer report success or apply unsaved edits. Configuration and active-event state use atomic file replacement.
• Invalid JSON, unsupported config schemas and invalid values preserve the original file; rejected reloads retain the last working settings.
• Editors opened before a reload can no longer overwrite the current configuration. Intentionally empty preset lists stay empty.
• Expiry cannot remove a newer event with the same ID; event completion notices are deduplicated per event.
• XP, chat notices, eligible-player counts and the PartyPro indicator now respect the same world and audience filters, including world transfers.
• World names containing hyphens no longer match a different name with those hyphens removed.
• PartyPro membership resolution includes the party leader and remains available when its HUD indicator is disabled.
• RPG Leveling listeners are removed and reattached on reload without duplicating XP bonuses.
• Legacy VKCraft provider registration recognizes successful void setters; deferred XP handling avoids replaying historical XP and integer overflow.

Changed

• Requires Hytale 0.6.0+
• HyRPGCore is no longer supported

Fixed

• Admin GUI lists (including Recent history) stay inside the panel with a scrollbar instead of drawing over the world

Notes

• Download EventBooster-0.4.2.jar
• If you used HyRPGCore for in-game XP, install RPG Leveling and Stats or VKCraft instead

Added

• Party targeting: /eventboost start ... --target=party boosts your current party. Members are snapshotted at start; requires a party plugin (PartyPro) that exposes its members
• Boost history in the admin GUI: dashboard Recent history list of started, stopped, and expired boosts (in-memory, current session)
• historySize config (default 20) for how many recent events the dashboard keeps

Notes

• Event bus and ECS hooks re-verified against the official Hytale shared source (0.6.0-pre.4); no config or permission change beyond historySize

Added

• Event presets: saved templates in config.json (presets[]); dashboard section with New, Edit, Del, and one-click Start
• Preset commands: /eventboost preset list, preset start <id>, preset schedules
• Weekly schedules: schedules[] with day (Monday=1 … Sunday=7), start/end time, linked preset, per-row enabled; schedulesEnabled and scheduleTimezone (IANA, e.g. Europe/Lisbon; blank = JVM default)
• Automatic schedule service: starts and stops boosts inside each window
• Schedule GUI: list, New schedule, Edit, On/Off toggle, Del
• Discord webhook (optional): discordWebhookEnabled, URL in config only; start/stop notifications; discordNotifyOnSchedule; discordMention (@everyone, @here, <@&ROLE_ID>, <@USER_ID>, or none); discordUseEmbed and custom message formats
• Config version 4 (migration adds default presets weekend, vip and a sample disabled schedule)
• Saving presets/schedules from the GUI requires eventbooster.admin.reload
• GUI save keeps existing Discord webhook URL on disk if the panel did not send a new URL

Changed

• Admin dashboard shows Presets and Schedules above the active boost list

Added

• Admin GUI: /eventboost gui (aliases: /eb gui, /eventboost panel, /eventboost menu) opens the EventBooster admin panel
• Dashboard: list active boosts with multiplier, remaining time, and target; refresh; stop one boost or stop all
• New / edit boost form: multiplier and duration presets plus custom fields (0 minutes = permanent); target Everyone or Group / permission; optional label, boost id, and world filter; edit an active boost in place (replaces it with updated settings)
• Shared launch logic: BoostLaunchService powers both commands and GUI (same validation, broadcasts, and stacking rules)
• Config version 3 (adds default reminderBroadcastFormat on upgrade)
• UI asset pack bundled with the mod (IncludesAssetPack)

Changed

• Minimum server version 0.5.3+ (ServerVersion in manifest)
• GUI form defaults use defaultMultiplier and defaultDurationMinutes from config

Fixed

• /eb reload no longer stacks duplicate VKCraft XP hooks (ECS systems register once; reload swaps the active booster)
• HyRPGCore internal hook uses a full dynamic proxy so other xpService methods still work (avoids cast/runtime failures)
• Stop/end announcements are synchronized with boost removal (no “ended” message while XP still boosted)
• Starting a boost with the same --id= ends the previous boost with an end broadcast before replacing it
• Natural expiry announces end within ~1s (not only on the 10s reminder tick)
• 0 minutes now means permanent (matches help and BoostManager behavior)
• World filter matches world name or uuid string from leveling events
• VKCraft snapshot resync when boosts end; safer XP bonus math (overflow cap)
• Listener unregister uses the correct API interface type (RPG Leveling, HyRPGCore, VKCraft)
• PartyPro HUD detects both tsumori and Zuxaw PartyPro packages
• Config file is no longer rewritten on every load
• Console must use allowConsoleCommands: true in config to run admin commands (default: false)

Changed

• /eventboost help is staff only by default (allowPublicHelp: false in config)
• Thread-safe boost tracking for announcements (fixes rare races between command and scheduler threads)
• Reminder broadcasts skip the final minute unless it aligns with your interval

Added

• Boost by group or permission: target VIP, staff, or custom groups from your server’s permissions.json (uses Hytale PermissionsModule, not a separate rank system)
• Start command flags: --target=all|group, --groups=VIP,hytale:Admin, --label=..., --world=..., --id=...
• Status and broadcast placeholders: {target} (who receives the boost)
• Per-player XP multiplier in the public API and integrations (group boosts only affect eligible players)
• PartyPro HUD shows boost text only for players who actually receive the active boost

Changed

• Join notices, start/end broadcasts, and reminders go only to players eligible for that boost
• Config version 2: default message formats include {target}

Fixed

• End-of-boost broadcast when a timed boost expires
• /eventboost stop all now sends an end message for each stopped boost
• Periodic reminders no longer spam every tick at interval boundaries

Added

• Timed global XP boost events (/eventboost start|stop|status|reload|help)
• Boost manager with multiplier limits, duration limits, optional world filter, and combined multiplier cap
• Broadcast on start/end, join notification, and periodic reminders
• Optional integrations: RPG Leveling, HyRPGCore, VKCraft, PartyPro HUD
• Public API (EventBoosterAPI) for other mods to read active XP multiplier
• Config at plugins/EventBooster/config/config.json
• Permissions: eventbooster.admin.start, eventbooster.admin.stop, eventbooster.admin.reload, eventbooster.status
