RuneRebels 2.1

RuneRebels 2.1 is a minor update for content, but a major update for the game engine itself! Some of the most important changes are documented below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update Contents

Engine:
   - Integrated all changes in the Arctic Engine that was used for Adventure Guild.
   - Split the monolithic "AllGoFree" library off into "Core AllGoFree", a small lightweight library.
   - Split the API of the server into the "Blitz API" project that can be used by third party developers.
   - Updated the Netty networking library.
   - Clean built the engine, dependencies, and all plugins using the latest Java.
   - Completely redid the logic to developer worlds.

Login Server:
   - Added support for the "developerGroups" configuration flag.
   - Added support for the "bannedGroups" configuration flag.
   - Added support for developer worlds.

Commands:
   - Added the ::teamspeak (::ts) command to join the TeamSpeak server.
   - Added the ::discord (::ds) command to join the Discord chat.

RuneRebels:
   - Modified the login message to alert the community to the TeamSpeak and Discord servers.

Quests:
   - Added the ::listquests plugin to list all Quests currently loaded and active on the server.

All Plugins:
   - All plugins have been updated for compatibility with the Blitz API when used in combination with private APIs.

Ban Hammer:
   - Updated to work exclusively with the Blitz API and no private APIs.

I assume these updates to the game engine improve the overall performance and stability of the server itself?

It's nice to see some updates too 8)

Engine:
- Fixed a bug where objects seemed to randomly disappear.

Does this mean the end of relogging for disappearing resources?

Edit: This is not the case.

It'd be nice if you fixed the arrow bug so they don't spawn individually after 25 in a pile

Glad to hear that you guys like the update! We are laying the ground work for many content updates to come. As documented in the Roadmap Update (https://www.runerebels.com/smf/index.php?topic=8118.0), my goal is to get as many devs on as possible and give a solid foundation for expanding and accelerating the development of the game. ;D

Just as a follow up to this, RuneRebels 2.1.1 has been released on World 1. This incorporates many changes required in order for the developer worlds and Quest Editor Server to function properly. Make sure to follow develop progress in #development on Discord. Just do ::ds in game! 8)
