Fixed

Fixed #23 Admin Nick Set Command fails on First Login

License Change

The License has been updated to AGPL

Fixes a vulnerability in which people had access to minimessage tags that they shouldn't be able to use.

SimpleNicks v3.2.0

• New Features
• MiniPlaceholders Support
• SimpleNicks now integrates with MiniPlaceholders, providing five audience-scoped tags for use in any MiniMessage-compatible context:

/nick help Subcommand

• A new /nick help subcommand displays only the commands the sender has permission to use. Player-only commands are hidden from console.

Changes

• Migrated from plugin.yml to paper-plugin.yml to use the Paper dependency format for PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholders
• Per-command help message keys (plugin.help.*) replace the old static HELP_MESSAGE locale entry, making each line individually customizable in locale.yml
• Added simplenicks.nick.help permission node

Dependencies

• MiniPlaceholders is an optional soft-dependency
• MiniPlaceholders tags are only registered if the plugin is present

Added Placeholders

• %simplenick_stripped%: Nickname, stripped of tags!
• %simplenick_prefixed-stripped%: Nickname, stripped of tags, with the prefix!

Placeholder	Description	Example
%simplenick_stripped%	Player's tagless and formatless nickname.
%simplenick_prefixed-stripped%	Player's tagless and formatless nickname with prefix.

Tested on Paper 1.21.11

Big Changes

• Saving changed to MySQL & SQLite
• Command structure has changed
• Placeholder API placeholders changed
• Permissions changed

Please report any issues with this update! Thanks <3

Saving now uses SQL to store data, allowing easier indexing

This allows three new config options:

• nickname-protection.online.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone else who is online)
• nickname-protection.offline.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone regardless whether they're online or not)
• nickname-protection.offline.expires (How many days a nickname should be protected for, if the person doesn't log in) Other new config options: require-permission
• nick : whether the basic nickname commands should require permissions set by a permission plugin
• color : Whether nicknames can have color without having permissions set by a permission plugin
• format : Whether nicknames can have formatting without having permissions set by a permissions plugin
• who : Whether you can look up who a user is based on their nickname without having permissions set by a permissions plugin

New Commands:

• /nick who <nickname> tells you the username of the player with the supplied nickname
• /nick save can now take in an argument, so you can now do /nick save <nickname> if you want to save something that isn't your current nickname
• /nick admin lookup <username> will display a user's current nickname, as well as their saved nicknames

Changed Commands (Admin Commands)

• Admin commands are no longer running from the same commands as the normal nickname commands, they are now as follows
• /nick admin set <username> <nickname>
• /nick admin reset <username>
• /nick admin delete <username> <nickname>

Removed:

• Removed the ability to save a nickname for someone else
• Removed the 'restrictive' and 'full' admin permissions, when setting a nickname for someone else, the plugin will always use the admins' permissions for parsing
• Removed the 'save' permission, for the above listed reason

Permission Changes:

• Added: simplenick.bypass.nick-protection - Allows bypassing the new nick protection options
• Color permissions have been moved out of the 'nick' node, and into their own 'color' node, and 'reset' has been moved into the color node

• Format permissions have also been moved out of the 'nick' node, into a 'format' node

• Admin nickname set permissions have been consolidated

Placeholder API changes:

• Placeholder now starts with simplenick to be consistent with the permissions and other naming schemes
• Two new placeholders have been added: prefixed-mininick and prefixed-nickname
• The prefixed placeholders will insert the configured prefix, this was previously the default behavior, so you might need to use this one if you need that

• Adds a fix for servers that may have experienced any weirdness using the displayname placeholder - added a new placeholder: %simplenicks_nickname% to display the parsed nickname of the user
• Also adds a cache so that placeholder API is not constantly reading the save data directly

• Fixes an issue where nicknames would not load on login if login took too long
• Tested on 1.21.8

• Adds the ability to add a prefix to nicknamed players
• Fixes an issue where /snreload would not refresh people's nicknames
• Tested on 1.21.5

Fixes a small issue with the %simplenicks_mininick%placeholder, where it would return null if no nickname had been set.

Fixes an issue where permissions for different parsing methods would not work, and would wrongfully say the user did not have permission to use that tag.

What's Changed

• Fix Code by @RhythmicSys in https://github.com/Simplexity-Development/SimpleNicks/pull/7
• locale.yml has been reformatted. You will need to redo any custom messages.

Command Changes:

• Admins can now save and delete other players' nicknames
  • I assume this will mostly be used in GUIs but idk maybe admins will need it too lol

Permission Changes:

• changed simplenick.usernamebypass into simplenick.bypass.username
• added simplenick.bypass.length
• added simplenick.bypass.regex
• added simplenick.admin.save - Allows admins to save a user's nickname for them
  • Command Usage: /nick save <player>
• added simplenick.admin.delete - Allows admins to delete someone's saved username
  • Command Usage: /nick delete <player> <nickname>
• added simplenick.nick.save - Allows a user to save their current name
  • Command Usage: /nick save
• added simplenick.nick.delete - Allows a user to delete their own saved nickname
  • Command Usage: /nick delete <nickname>

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Simplexity-Development/SimpleNicks/compare/1.0.0...2.0

• Fix an issue where locale messages would not actually be reloaded
• added these lines to the locale (you will need to add them manually if you already have a locale)

nick-save-success: "<prefix><green>Success! The nickname <nickname><reset><green> has been saved for future use"
nick-save-failure: "<prefix><gray>Failed to save current username."
nick-save-failure-too-many: "<prefix><gray>You have too many saved usernames, please remove some with /nick delete <nickname>"
nick-delete-success: "<prefix><gray>The nickname <nickname><reset><gray> has been successfully removed from your saved names"
nick-delete-failure: "<prefix><gray>Failed to delete given username."

Added

• Ability to consider double-quoted strings as a single argument in commands.
  • To use a literal double-quote, escape it with \".
  • To use an literal escape symbol, escape it with \\.

Fixes

• Config does not reload cause forgot to call reloadConfig() off of the plugin instance. Oops.

Dependencies

• Updated Paper API to 1.20.4
• Updated Placeholder API to 2.11.5

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Simplexity-Development/SimpleNicks/compare/0.0.4-beta...1.0.0

v0.0.4-beta

What's Changed

• Abstract saving loading by @Peashooter101 in https://github.com/ADHDMC/SimpleNicks/pull/5
• Adds FILE type save handling (does not transfer over current PDC nicknames) config option
• Adds
• Adds /nick save which will save your current nickname, and add it to the tabcompletion list when you do /nick set
  • requires simplenick.save permission
• Adds /nick delete <name> which will delete a nickname from your saved nicknames
  • requires simplenick.delete permission
• Adds placeholderAPI placeholder: %simplenicks_mininick% which will give the unparsed, minimessage formatted nickname (example of mine):

⚠️ Note

You will need to delete your config.yml and have the plugin regenerate it on startup. The default save type is now "file", and old nicknames will not be seen. If you want to switch back to PDC saving, change the save type and restart your server.
